The role of many gastrointestinal hormones in T2DM has been proposed, but the pathophysiological models described vary greatly depending on the anatomical rearrangements after surgery. We focus on somatostatin as a common factor in two of the most commonly performed surgical procedures in a healthy rodent model. We performed sleeve gastrectomy (SG) and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and also an experimental surgery without gastric involvement (intestinal resection of 50 % jejunum-ileum portion -IR50 %).METHODS: We used five groups of Wistar rats: fasting control, sham-operated, SG-operated, RYGB-operated and IR50-operated. We analysed several parameters 4 and 23 weeks after surgery: plasma SST-14/28 fractions, plasma glucose, insulin release and SST-producing cell expression in the duodenum and pancreatic islets.RESULTS: Numerous SST-producing cells in the duodenum but a low number in the pancreas and a long-term loss of glucose tolerance were observed in SG and RYGB animals. Additionally, a high plasma SST-28 fraction was found in animals after SG but not after RYGB. Finally, IR50 animals showed no differences versus controls.CONCLUSIONS: In our SG model the amplitude of insulin response after metabolic surgeries, is mediated by SST-28 plasma levels derived from the proportional compensatory effect of gastric SST-producing tissue ablation. In addition, a strong compensatory response to the surgical loss of gastric SST-producing cells, leads to long-term loss of insulin production after SG but not in the others.Copyright © 2022 The Author(s).
