The effects of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy on serum levels of growth hormone and insulin-like growth factor 1

Background. It is unclear exactly how bariatric surgery affects the body’s metabolic and physiological functions. The purpose of the study was to assess the activity of growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) levels in obese individuals before and six months after laparoscopic s...

description Background. It is unclear exactly how bariatric surgery affects the body’s metabolic and physiological functions. The purpose of the study was to assess the activity of growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) levels in obese individuals before and six months after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. Materials and methods. This study included 52 patients with a body mass index (BMI) ranging from 35 to 56 kg/m2 who qualified for laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy and had completed data at the 6-month postoperative follow-up. All patients were clinically examined by a team of surgeons and a physician before operation. The serum levels of GH and IGF-1 were assessed pre- and post-operatively. Results. The study included 52 patients with obesity who were undergoing laparoscopic gastric sleeve surgery. Their mean age was 32.04 ± 6.90 years. More than half of the patients, 27 (51.9 %), were aged 19 to 32 years, 32 (61.5 %) patients were females, and 38 (73.1 %) had a BMI of 35–49.9 kg/m2. There was a significant increase in the serum GH after the sleeve gastrectomy compared to the pre-operative level (0.95 ± 0.30 vs 0.62 ± 0.40 ng/ml, p = 0.0001). IGF-1 also significantly increased after the surgery: 117.13 ± 32.40 vs 102.63 ± 33.90 ng/ml (p = 0.0001). Concerning BMI, there was no significant difference in the GH mean for patients with a BMI of 35–49.9 and 50–56 kg/m2 pre- and post-operatively: 0.6 vs 0.8 (p = 0.07) and 0.9 vs 1 (p = 0.5), respectively. On the other hand, IGF-1 exhibited a significant difference before and after surgery: 107.7 vs 88.9 ng/ml (p = 0.02) and 123.2 vs 100.7 (p = 0.03). Conclusions. This study concludes that sleeve gastrectomy significantly increases the serum level of both GH and IGF-1 and, consequently, their effects on disturbed lipid and protein metabolism in morbidly obese patients.
