If a patient undergoes gastric bypass surgery, which consequence follows regarding appetite regulation hormones?

💡 Explanation

Following gastric bypass, nutrient delivery to the distal small intestine increases, thereby stimulating GLP-1 secretion. Because GLP-1 promotes satiety, this effect contributes to appetite reduction and weight loss. Therefore, GLP-1 increases, rather than ghrelin increasing or leptin sensitivity decreasing.

• If a COX-2 selective inhibitor drug preferentially blocks prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) production in osteoarthritic joints, which consequence follows regarding cartilage remodeling?
• As adults age and experience reduced mobility, which mechanism most directly explains the increased risk of sarcopenia in type II muscle fibers?
• What causes impaired motor skill consolidation after sleep deprivation?
• A patient experiences increasing shortness of breath, normal blood pressure, and pulmonary congestion. What causes this effect when cardiac output falls despite elevated sympathetic activity?
• If a patient chronically underproduces incretin hormones like GLP-1 after meals, which consequence related to blood glucose regulation is most likely to dominate?
