What this Trial Is About

Researchers are investigating whether the combined increase of certain gut hormones—glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), oxyntomodulin, and peptide YY (PYY)—after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery is responsible for many of the surgery's positive effects. These effects include better blood sugar control, higher energy use, less food intake, weight loss, reduced preference for high-calorie foods, and less brain activity in response to food cues. The study focuses on adults aged 18 to 70 years with obesity and type 2 diabetes or impaired glucose regulation. Participants will undergo Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery and may receive infusions of gut hormones or placebo to assess their combined impact. Additionally, some will follow a very low calorie diet. The study examines the metabolic changes caused by these interventions and how they relate to the surgery's benefits. During the study, researchers will monitor participants' weight loss over four weeks and evaluate metabolic and behavioral changes. Assessments include blood tests, brain imaging, and food preference evaluations. The study also tracks safety and adherence, ensuring participants meet eligibility and complete necessary follow-ups throughout the study period.
