Oxyntomodulin and glicentin may predict the effect of bariatric surgery on food preferences and weight loss.
CONCLUSION: Postprandial responses of gastrointestinal hormones differed between RYGB and SG. Enhanced responses of glicentin and oxyntomodulin predicted a better weight loss and were associated with a decreased preference for energy-dense foods. Replication of these results could imply an opportunity to identify patients in need of additional support after surgical treatments of obesity.
