Sleeve gastrectomy (SG) is an effective treatment for obesity in adolescents. The underlying weight loss mechanism may impact the peripheral and central gustatory system along with reward circuits in the brain. This study aims to assess changes in appetitive behavior in short-, medium-, and long-term follow-up.
In this prospective observational study, a total of 8 adolescents with obesity who underwent SG and 9 comparator unoperated participants were studied. Appetitive behaviour towards fat and sweet taste stimuli was assessed using the Progressive Ratio Task (PRT) over a 6 year period.
Mean body mass index (BMI) of the surgical patients dropped from 51.5 ± 2.8 kg/m to 31.4 ± 1.9 and 30.9 ± 2.3 kg/m at 1 and 6 years follow-up, respectively. (p < 0.001). The median (interquartile range) total rewards earned during the PRT was 6 (5-7) pre-surgery, 5 (3-6) after one year and 4 (2-4) after six years from surgery (p = 0.007).
SG reduced appetitive behaviour at 1 year with maintained the benefit over 6 years as measured by the progressive ratio task.
袖状胃切除术(SG)是治疗青少年肥胖的有效方法。潜在的减肥机制可能会影响外周和中枢味觉系统以及大脑中的奖励回路。本研究旨在评估短期、中期和长期随访中食欲行为的变化。
在这项前瞻性观察研究中,共纳入 8 名接受 SG 治疗的肥胖青少年患者和 9 名未手术的对照组参与者。使用递增比率任务(PRT)评估脂肪和甜味味觉刺激的食欲行为,随访时间为 6 年。
手术患者的平均体重指数(BMI)从 51.5±2.8kg/m降至术后 1 年的 31.4±1.9kg/m 和 6 年的 30.9±2.3kg/m(p<0.001)。PRT 中获得的总奖励中位数(四分位距)分别为术前 6(5-7)、术后 1 年 5(3-6)和术后 6 年 4(2-4)(p=0.007)。
SG 在术后 1 年降低了食欲行为,6 年后仍保持这种益处,这可以通过递增比率任务来衡量。
