Early postoperative enteral nutrition has repeatedly been described in the literature but has not found its place yet in everyday clinical life. We conducted perioperative intraduodenal glucose tolerance tests in 12 patients with a healthy metabolism who had to undergo moderately severe abdominal surgery. Our results suggest that the resorption is still markedly delayed 12 h postoperatively and that the hormonal regulation is also essentially disturbed. Therefore, we believe that enteral nutrition in the early postoperative period is beneficial only more than 24 h after surgery.

Aims/hypothesis: Quinine, when administered intraduodenally to activate bitter-taste receptors, in a dose of 600 mg, stimulates glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and insulin, slows gastric emptying and lowers postprandial glucose in healthy people, with consequent implications for the management of type 2 diabetes; the effect of quinine on energy intake is uncertain. We have investigated the dose-related effects of quinine on postprandial blood glucose levels and energy intake in people with type 2 diabetes.

Methods: Male participants with type 2 diabetes (age: 68±5 years; HbA: 49.

Background: In humans, intraduodenal infusion of L-tryptophan (Trp) increases plasma concentrations of gastrointestinal hormones and stimulates pyloric pressures, both key determinants of gastric emptying and associated with potent suppression of energy intake. The stimulation of gastrointestinal hormones by Trp has been shown, in preclinical studies, to be enhanced by extracellular calcium and mediated in part by the calcium-sensing receptor.

Objectives: This study aim was to determine whether intraduodenal calcium can enhance the effects of Trp to stimulate gastrointestinal hormones and pyloric pressures and, if so, whether it is associated with greater suppression of energy intake, in healthy males.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study aims to understand how the timing of metformin administration affects blood sugar responses in individuals with type 2 diabetes, particularly focusing on its role in stimulating GLP-1, a hormone that helps control glucose metabolism.
  • - Sixteen participants, well-managed on metformin, were tested in a controlled experiment where metformin was given at different times before a glucose infusion, measuring glucose, insulin, and GLP-1 levels throughout the process.
  • - Results showed that taking metformin earlier (60 or 30 minutes before) lowered blood glucose levels more effectively and increased GLP-1 levels, while insulin responses remained consistent, indicating timing can significantly impact the effectiveness of metformin.

Background: Intestinal nutrient sensing regulates food intake and energy metabolism by acting locally and relaying nutritional status to the brain. It is unclear whether these mechanisms are altered in obese humans.

Objectives: We aimed to investigate differences in duodenal nutrient sensing in humans with or without obesity and the effects of transiently blocking vagal transmission on nutrient sensing, hunger, and appetite.
