Abstract

Background: Gastric bypass with a proximal gastric pouch (Roux-en-Y gastric bypass) induces early diabetes remission. The effect of gastric bypass with a distal gastric pouch remains unknown.

Objective: To observe the effect on glucose tolerance and diabetes remission of gastric bypass with a distal gastric pouch.

Method: A type 2 diabetes (T2D) model was created in 44 Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats that randomly underwent Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB, n = 8); gastric bypass with duodenal-jejunal transit (GB-DJT, n = 8); distal-pouch gastric bypass with duodenal-jejunal transit (DPGB-DJT, n = 8); distal-pouch gastric bypass with duodenal-jejunal bypass (DPGB-DJB, n = 8); sham (n = 6); and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass with esophageal re-anastomosis (RYGB-Er, n = 6) surgery. In the DPGB-DJT and the DPGB-DJB groups, the gastric pouch was created in the distal stomach. In the RYGB and the GB-DJT groups, the gastric pouch was created in the proximal stomach. An oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), insulin tolerance test (ITT) and mixed-meal tolerance test (MMTT) conducted preoperatively were repeated postoperatively.

Results: GLP-1 AUC recorded preoperatively was significantly increased 8 weeks postoperatively in the RYGB, GB-DJT, and DPGB-DJB groups. Increased GLP-1 AUC in the DPGB-DJT did not reach statistical significance. Improved glucose tolerance in the RYGB and GB-DJT groups was significantly higher than DPGB-DJT group. DPGB-DJB did not improve glucose tolerance significantly. Gastrin level was increased significantly in the DPGB-DJT and DPGB-DJB groups.

Conclusion: In gastric bypass, creating the gastric pouch in the distal region of the stomach significantly impairs the glucose tolerance and diabetes remission in spite of the increased GLP-1 and insulin responses in T2D SD rat model, suggesting that bypassing the distal stomach may be the key mediator of early diabetes remission after RYGB.
