- Abstract
Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) modifies various aspects of eating behavior in morbidly obese individuals to cause marked and lasting weight loss and improvements in metabolic health, but the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. To assess the relative contributions of the gut hormones glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) and peptide tyrosine tyrosine 3-36 (PYY 3-36), whose circulating levels are enhanced by RYGB, in the reduced high-fat (HF) food preference that develops postoperatively. University hospital, Würzburg, Germany. HF diet–induced obese male Wistar rats underwent RYGB (n = 11) or sham (n = 7) surgeries and were subsequently maintained on a choice of low-fat (10% calories from fat) and HF (60% calories from fat) diets. From postoperative weeks 4 to 6, acute feeding studies were performed in which the selective GLP-1 receptor antagonist exendin-9 (30 μg/kg), the second-generation selective Y2 receptor antagonist JNJ-31020028 (10 mg/kg), or a combination of both drugs was administered intraperitoneally. During the observational period weight, adiposity and total food intake were lower while postprandial plasma GLP-1 and peptide tyrosine tyrosine levels were higher for RYGB-operated compared with sham-operated rats. There was a gradual shift in preference from HF to low-fat food in RYGB-operated rats by postoperative week 3. Single antagonist treatments had a relatively modest impact on HF food preference in rats from both surgical groups. However, dual antagonist treatment caused a striking increase in HF food preference specifically in RYGB-operated rats. GLP-1 and peptide tyrosine tyrosine 3-36 reduce HF food preference additively after RYGB supporting the use of gut hormone combination strategies for healthier feeding behavior. • RYGB progressively decreases HF food preference in diet-induced obese Wistar rats • RYGB increases meal-induced GLP-1 and PYY release in diet-induced obese Wistar rats • Acute systemic administration of the selective GLP-1 receptor antagonist exendin-9 with the second-generation selective Y2 receptor antagonist JNJ-31020028 increases HF food preference additively in RYGB-operated but not in sham-operated diet-induced obese Wistar rats [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
