Increasing sharply over past 30 years → creating global public health crisis

500 million adults worldwide have obesity

Prevalence increasing among children and adolescents

Q

what is the hunger-satiety pathway?

A

one group of neurons coproduce: NPY (neuropeptide Y) & AGRP (agouti-related peptide) → which leads to stimulation of feeding

POMC (proopiomelanocortin): results in secretion of α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH) → (+) neuronal melanocortin receptor 4 neurons in paraventricular nucleus of hypothalamus → inhibits food intake

Q

which hormones play a roll in the hunger-satiety pathway and what do they do?

A
  1. Leptin (produced by adipose tissue) → inhibits food intake
    (+) POMC
    (-) AGRP neurons
  2. Ghrelin (produced by stomach) → stimulates food intake
    (-) POMC
  3. GLP-1 →
    acts peripherally → slowing gastric emptying and also centrally → directly regulating appetite

increased ghrelin

however there’s decreased leptin, PYY, CCK and amylin and they’re all fighting against weight loss biologically

Q

what are the stages of obesity?

A

normal: BMI under 25 – work on primary prevention

obesity stage 0: BMI over 30, no obesity related complications – work on secondary prevention

obesity stage 1: BMI over 25, presence of 1 or more mild to moderate obesity related complications – tertiary prevention

obesity stage 2: VMI over 25, presence of one or more severe obesity related complications – tertiary prevention

21
Q

what is the MOA of orlistat?

A

peripheral pancreatic lipase inhibitor which blocks ingested fat absorption

22
Q

what is the MOA of phentermine/topiramate?

A

symphathomimetic

anticonvulsant: GABA receptor modulator carbonic anhydrase inhibitor, glutamate antagonist

23
Q

what is the MOA of naltrexone/buprion?

A

opioid receptor antagonist – mu receptor actvivation inhibits POMC pathway so when you antagonist mu receptors you stimulate POMC pathway

dopamine/noradrenaline reuptake inhibitor

what is liraglutide?

A

GLP1 receptor agonist

35
Q

A 33-year-old morbidly obese woman comes to the physician to discuss weight loss. She is 167 cm (5 ft 6 in) tall and weighs 142 kg (315 lb); BMI is 50.8 kg/m2. Her blood pressure is 150/90 mmHg, respiratory rate is 24/minute, and pulse is 90 beats/minute. Which of the following is the most appropriate initial step in the management of this patient?

a) Dietary and caloric intake modification
b) Diet and exercise counseling
c) Laparoscopic adjustable gastric band placement (Lap Band)
d) Liposuction
e) Gastric bypass surgery
f) Pharmacologic intervention

A

b) Diet and exercise counseling

> 2/3 of adults in the US are either trying to lose/maintain weight.

However, only 20% are eating fewer calories AND engaging in at least 150 minutes of physical activity during leisure time each week.

For initial weight loss, treatment should be aimed at decreasing food intake and, when possible, increasing energy expenditure.

Educate & counsel the patient on a proper diet (e.g. caloric intake, low fat foods, etc.) and introducing exercise into their daily routine. If this is unsuccessful, other approaches may need to be considered.

36
Q

what are the indications for bariatric surgery?

A
  1. BMI ≥40 kg/m2 without coexisting medical problems and no excessive surgical risk
  2. BMI ≥35 kg/m2 and 1 or more severe obesity-related co-morbidities
  3. BMI 30–34.9 kg/m2 with diabetes or metabolic syndrome may be offered surgery, however evidence limited by the number of subjects studied lack of long-term data demonstrating net benefit
37
Q

what are the types of bariatric surgery?

A
  1. Biliopancreatic Diversion (with or without duodenal switch) [BPD]
  2. Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass [RYGB]
  3. Sleeve gastrectomy [SG]
  4. Laparoscopic and Adjustable Gastric Banding [LAGB
38
Q

what is the biliopancreatic diversion?

A

make the stomach smaller and also attach the end of the jejunum to the duodenum

39
Q

what is the ROUX-en-Y gastric bypass?

A

Proximal jejunum divided at about 50 cm from the duodeno-jejunal flexure

15 ml (3 tablespoons) gastric pouch left

Procedure takes 90-150 minutes

Patient stays inpatient overnight

40
Q

what is a sleeve gastrectomy?

A

Excision of about 80% stomach
50-80 cc new stomach pouch
Antrum preserved to maintain gastric emptying

Non-adjustable
Non-reversible
“Sleeve and leave”

41
Q

how effective is weight loss after bariatric surgery?

A

Weight loss generally maintained for many years, but patients typically remain with a BMI > 30 kg/m2

Nadir between 1 and 2 years post surgery

Gastric banding least effective

Sleeve gastrectomy only lightly less effective than RYGB

42
Q

what is diabetes remission?

A

partial remission is A1V 6.5% or lower

complete remission is A1c under 6

also must be off all diabetes medications and maintenance of these glycemic levels for at least 1 year
