Ghrelin is a newly recognized gastric hormone with orexigenic and adipogenic properties, produced primarily by the stomach. Ghrelin is reduced in obesity. Weight loss is associated with an increase in fasting plasma ghrelin. We assessed the effect of massive weight loss on plasma ghrelin concentrations and its correlation with serum leptin levels and the presence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) in severely obese patients. A prospective study was conducted on 28 morbidly obese women (BMI 56.3 +/- 10.2 kg/m2) who underwent gastric bypass, divided into 2 groups: 14 non-diabetics (NGT) and 14 type 2 diabetics (DM2). Ghrelin and leptin were evaluated before silastic ring transected vertical gastric bypass, and again 12 months postoperatively. F...
