ABSTRACT: Objectives
Gastrointestinal hormones contribute to the beneficial effects of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery (RYGB) on glycemic control. Secretin is secreted from duodenal S cells in response to low luminal pH, but it is unknown whether its secretion is altered after RYGB and if secretin contributes to the postoperative improvement in glycemic control. We hypothesized that secretin secretion increases after RYGB as a result of the diversion of nutrients to more distal parts of the small intestine, and thereby affects islet hormone release.Methods
A specific secretin radioimmunoassay was developed, evaluated biochemically, and used to quantify plasma concentrations of secretin in 13 obese individuals before, 1 week after, and 3 months after RYGB. Distribution of secretin and its receptor was assessed by RNA sequencing, mass-spectrometry and in situ hybridization in human and rat tissues. Isolated, perfused rat intestine and pancreas were used to explore the molecular mechanism underlying glucose-induced secretin secretion and to study direct effects of secretin on glucagon, insulin, and somatostatin secretion. Secretin was administered alone or in combination with GLP-1 to non-sedated rats to evaluate effects on glucose regulation.Results
Plasma postprandial secretin was more than doubled in humans after RYGB (P?ConclusionsGlucose-sensing secretin cells located in the distal part of the small intestine may contribute to increased plasma concentrations observed after RYGB. The metabolic role of the distal S cells warrants further studies.
