The Effect of Gastric Bypass Surgery on Gut Hormones Related to Bone Remodeling and Intestinal Growth.

NCT01700686 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 18

Last updated 2014-12-17

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The overall purpose is to explore the link between the gut and the bones by investigating meal stimulated changes in the blood level of a number of hormones and markers related to intestinal growth and bone turnover in patients undergoing surgery for obesity (gastric bypass). The hormones will be measured in blood samples taken before and after surgery. The results are compared with changes in body weight and body composition as measured by DEXA scanning.

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

Meal test and dexa scan

Body composition is determined by whole body deca scan and bone mineral density is determined dy dexa scans of the lumbar spine and the proximal femur.
