Feeding and Bone Turnover in Gastric Bypass

Brain Feeding Circuits after Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass

Metabolic surgical procedures, such as Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), uniquely reprogram feeding behavior and body weight in obese subjects. Clinical neuroimaging and animal studies are only now beginning to shed light on some of the underlying central mechanisms. We present here the roles of key brain neurotransmitter/neuromodulator systems in food choice, value, and intake at various stages...

Comparison of roux-en-y gastric bypass techniques with and without distal gastric plication in patients with morbid obesity

Mini-Gastric Bypass/One-Anastomosis Gastric Bypass—Standardizing the Name

To the Editor: After performing many of the alternatives in bariatric surgery during more than two decades, we read with interest the initial ideas Dr. Rutledge proposed in regard to the Bmini-gastric bypass^ (MGB) and embraced the possibility of performing a very effective operation with fewer risks [1]. Concerned about its major criticism, wemodified the original version of theMGB in order to...

Roux-en-Y gastric bypass: effects on feeding behavior and underlying mechanisms.

Bariatric surgery is the most effective treatment for severe obesity, producing marked sustained weight loss with associated reduced morbidity and mortality. Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery (RYGBP), the most commonly performed procedure, was initially viewed as a hybrid restrictive-malabsorptive procedure. However, over the last decade, it has become apparent that alternative physiologic mecha...

Bone turnover and inhaled corticosteroids.

Bone turnover and inhaled corticosteroids We wish to take issue with several statements made by Kerstjens et al in their recent paper (July 1994;49:652-6). We believe that their conclusion that there is no clear evidence of a detrimental effect of inhaled corticosteroids on bone metabolism is unsubstantiated by the results of their study. They were able to demonstrate a significant fall in oste...
