Açıklama
Several biochemical mechanisms explaining how Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB) provides an effective treatment for obesity associated type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and improves hyperglycemia independently of weight loss have been proposed. Two are of particular interest; a) the hindgut hypothesis suggesting that nutrient delivery to the distal intestine drives the production of "incretins" which enhance insulin secretion (e.g. glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1)), and b) the foregut hypothesis, positing that foregut bypass reduces the secretion of factors (i.e. anti-incretins) that normally defend against hypoglycemia. The investigators have been actively investigating this topic and have developed a hypothesis based on past studies that they wish to test in a limited human clinical study. In addition, preclinical data suggest that there exists a gut-to-beta cell pathway, responsive to nutritional tyrosine, regulating insulin secretion, and this pathway provides a mechanism for the early postoperative improvements in hyperglycemia observed in RYGB.

| Active Comparator: Tyrosine (TYR) depletion, then oral TYR TYR supplementation: Subjects will be directed to avoid consumption of L-DOPA and TYR enriched foods for 48 hours before oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). On the evening prior to OGTT, subjects will substitute normal meal and snack for three prepackaged tyrosine-phenylalanine-free liquid meals.
Visit 2. Placement of intravenous catheter for the collection of serial blood samples and an OGTT with supplementation with oral tyrosine supplement. To supplement the OGTT with Tyrosine, the contents of four (4) L-Tyrosine 500 mg capsule are given 45 minutes before the oral glucose solution is administered. The capsules are to be administered with less than eight ounces of water to minimize dilution of gastric acidity. | Dietary Supplement: Tyrosine (TYR) depletion, then oral TYR L-Tyrosine dietary supplement will be provided as 500 mg capsules and 4 (four) 500 mg capsules are to be given before OGTT. The capsules are formed from animal gelatin, and the contents are formulated with magnesium stearate as a flow agent, but without binders, coatings or colorings and also have no added flavorings, sugars, salt, artificial sweeteners, preservatives or salicylates. The capsules are to be administered with less than eight ounces of water to minimize dilution of gastric acidity. |
| No Intervention: TYR depletion, then no oral TYR Subjects will be directed to avoid consumption of L-DOPA and TYR enriched foods for 48 hours before OGTT. On the evening prior to OGTT, subjects will substitute normal meal and snack for three prepackaged tyrosine-phenylalanine-free liquid meals.
Subsequent Visit 3. This visit will consist of placement of intravenous catheter for the collection of serial blood samples and an OGTT without supplementation with oral tyrosine supplement. |
