%X <B>BACKGROUND: </B>Changes in gastrointestinal and pancreatic hormones may play a role in promoting long-term weight reduction and improved glucose metabolism after sleeve gastrectomy and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. However, few studies have examined the metabolic and endocrine effects of these procedures in Mainland China.<BR><B>OBJECTIVE: </B>To compare the effects of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) and laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) on gastrointestinal and pancreatic peptide hormones.<BR><B>METHODS: </B>University hospital, China.<BR><B>METHODS: </B>A nonrandomized prospective study was conducted in Chinese obese patients undergoing LSG or LRYGB. Of 20 patients in this study, 10 underwent LSG, and 10 underwent LRYGB. Fasting plasma levels of insulin, glucagon, ghrelin, gastric inhibitory peptide, peptide YY, glucagon-like peptide (GLP)-1, and GLP-2 were measured preoperatively and at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after surgery. This trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov (NCT02963662).<BR><B>RESULTS: </B>During the first year after both operations, mean body mass index and fasting insulin levels steadily decreased at all intervals. Fasting plasma glucose levels significantly decreased at 1 month after surgery, then remained stable in both groups. Glucagon levels significantly decreased at 1, 3, and 6 months after surgery in both groups, but returned to baseline at 12 months. Fasting GLP-1 and peptide YY significantly increased in both groups, but more so after LRYGB. However, GLP-2 did not change in either group. Ghrelin levels significantly decreased after LSG, but not after LRYGB. Gastric inhibitory peptide levels decreased after LRYGB but not after LSG.<BR><B>CONCLUSIONS: </B>LSG and LRYGB resulted in significant and distinct changes in multiple gastrointestinal and pancreatic peptide hormones that are important regulators of obesity and metabolic health.
