Abstract
Background
Cardiovascular trials have revealed the positive impact of GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) on cardiovascular outcomes in type 2 diabetes (T2D). However, the specific effects of endogenous GLP-1 on arterial stiffness and renal function remain understudied. This study aimed to explore the influence of endogenous GLP-1 response post-bariatric surgery on arterial stiffness and renal haemodynamic.
Methods
Thirty individuals with morbid obesity and without T2D, scheduled for Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB), were included. Clinical parameters, 3-hour oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) with serial sampling for glycaemia, GLP-1 and insulin, carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cf-PWV), carotid distensibility coefficient (carotid-DC) and renal resistive index (RRI) measurements were conducted pre-surgery and 1-year post-surgery. Participants were categorized into high-response and low-response groups based on their post-surgery increase in GLP-1 (median increase of 104% and 1%, respectively, pre- vs. post-surgery).
Results
Post-surgery, high-response group demonstrated a greater reduction in cf-PWV (p = .033) and a greater increase (p = .043) in carotid DC compared to low-response group. These enhancements were observed independently of weight loss or blood pressure changes. High-response group exhibited a reduction in RRI (p = .034), although this association was influenced by improvement in pulse pressure. Finally, a multivariate stepwise regression analysis indicated that the percentage increase of GLP1, Δ-GLP1(AUC)%, was the best predictor of percentage decrease in cf-PWV (p = .014).
Conclusions
Elevated endogenous GLP-1 response following RYGB was associated with improved arterial stiffness and renal resistances, suggesting potential cardio-renal benefits. The findings underscore the potential role of endogenous GLP-1 in influencing vascular and renal haemodynamics independent of traditional weight loss.
期刊介绍:
EJCI considers any original contribution from the most sophisticated basic molecular sciences to applied clinical and translational research and evidence-based medicine across a broad range of subspecialties. The EJCI publishes reports of high-quality research that pertain to the genetic, molecular, cellular, or physiological basis of human biology and disease, as well as research that addresses prevalence, diagnosis, course, treatment, and prevention of disease. We are primarily interested in studies directly pertinent to humans, but submission of robust in vitro and animal work is also encouraged. Interdisciplinary work and research using innovative methods and combinations of laboratory, clinical, and epidemiological methodologies and techniques is of great interest to the journal. Several categories of manuscripts (for detailed description see below) are considered: editorials, original articles (also including randomized clinical trials, systematic reviews and meta-analyses), reviews (narrative reviews), opinion articles (including debates, perspectives and commentaries); and letters to the Editor.
