Table 1 Gut hormones and their clinical relevance

Peptide	Production site	Effect	After bariatric surgery	Potential pharmaceutical intervention
Ghrelin	Stomach, mainly fundus	Appetite stimulating	↓	Receptor antagonists
		Growth hormone releasing		GOAT inhibition
				Vaccination
GLP-1	L-cells of the distal small bowel	Postprandialinsuline secretion	↑	Weight loss in patients with diabetes
		Suppresses glucagon secretion		Off-label use in obese patients
		Delays gastric emptying
		Suppresses appetite
GIP	Duodenum, jejunum	Postprandial insulin secretion	↓	GIP receptor antagonist
		Energy expenditure
CCK	Duodenum, jejunum	Delays gastric emptying	↑	CCK analogue substance
		Suppresses appetite
PYY	Distal small bowel	Delays gastric emptying	↑	Long-acting analogue substance
		Suppresses appetite
PP	Distal small bowel	Suppresses appetite	↔	PP analogue substance
OXM	L-cells of the distal small bowel	Delays gastric emptying	↑	Receptor agonist
		Suppresses appetite
		Increase energy expenditure

Modified according to Kim et al[135]. GLP-1: Glucagon-like peptide-1; GIP: Glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide; CCK: Cholecystokinin; PYY: Peptide YY; PP: Pancreatic polypeptide; OXM: Oxyntomodulin; GOAT: Ghrelin O-acyltransferase.
