Background: Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) involves exclusion of major parts of the
stomach and changes in admixture of gastro-pancreatic enzymes, which could have a major
impact on protein digestion and amino acid absorption. Objective: We investigated the effect
of RYGB on amino acid appearance in the systemic circulation from orally ingested protein
and from endogenous release. Design: Nine obese glucose-tolerant subjects, with a mean
body mass index (in kg/m 2) of 39.2 (95% CI: 35.2, 43.3) and mean glycated hemoglobin of …
