Abstract
Background The effects of diet-induced weight loss (WL) and WL after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery on β cell function (BCF) are unclear because of conflicting results from different studies, presumably because of differences in the methods used to measure BCF, the amount of WL between treatment groups, and baseline BCF. We evaluated the effect of WL after RYGB surgery or reduced energy intake alone on BCF in people with obesity with and without type 2 diabetes.Methods BCF (insulin secretion in relationship to plasma glucose) was assessed before and after glucose or mixed-meal ingestion before and after (a) progressive amounts (6%, 11%, 16%) of WL induced by a low-calorie diet (LCD) in people with obesity without diabetes, (b) ~20% WL after RYGB surgery or laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) in people with obesity without diabetes, and (c) ~20% WL after RYGB surgery or LCD alone in people with obesity and diabetes.Results Diet-induced progressive WL in people without diabetes progressively decreased BCF. Marked WL after LAGB or RYGB in people without diabetes did not alter BCF. Marked WL after LCD or RYGB in people with diabetes markedly increased BCF, without a difference between groups.Conclusion Marked WL increases BCF in people with obesity and diabetes but not in people with obesity without diabetes. The effect of RYGB-induced WL on BCF is not different from the effect of matched WL after LAGB or LCD alone.trial registration NCT00981500, NCT02207777, NCT01299519.Funding NIH grants R01 DK037948, P30 DK056341, P30 DK020579, UL1 TR002345.

Having trouble reading a PDF?
PDFs are designed to be printed out and read, but if you prefer to read them online, you may find it easier if you increase the view size to 125%.
Having trouble saving a PDF?
Many versions of the free Acrobat Reader do not allow Save. You must instead save the PDF from the JCI Online page you downloaded it from. PC users: Right-click on the Download link and choose the option that says something like "Save Link As...". Mac users should hold the mouse button down on the link to get these same options.
Having trouble printing a PDF?
- Try printing one page at a time or to a newer printer.
- Try saving the file to disk before printing rather than opening it "on the fly." This requires that you configure your browser to "Save" rather than "Launch Application" for the file type "application/pdf", and can usually be done in the "Helper Applications" options.
- Make sure you are using the latest version of Adobe's Acrobat Reader.
