Abstract

Obesity is an extremely prevalent condition worldwide and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. In order to avoid or delay its evolution and consequent complications, in more severe cases, bariatric surgery should be performed as primary therapy, especially Sleeve Gastrectomy, the most commonly performed surgical technique. This therapeutic option is the most effective in the treatment of obesity and chronic complications, by promoting greater and sustained weight-loss. Also, there are significant changes in glucose homeostasis and even in some cases a remission of diabetes mellitus. It is known that there are numerous gastrointestinal hormones, namely ghrelin, glucagon-like peptide 1 and peptide tyrosine-tyrosine, which have been suggested as important mediators of metabolic changes in the postoperative period, in terms of appetite regulation, weight loss and even glucose homeostasis. In this review, highlighting the changes in the concentrations of these 3 hormones resulting from sleeve gastrectomy surgery is of paramount importance and thus, clarifying the role and impact of these hormones on the postoperative metabolic effects and consequently on the effectiveness of surgery. This review concludes that, after surgery, there is a significant decrease in fasting and postprandial ghrelin levels and a significant increase in postprandial levels of glucagon-like peptide 1 and peptide tyrosine-tyrosine, thus contributing to the success of sleeve gastrectomy.
