We have been "friends" on Facebook for several years. It has only been since her surgery, that I have witnessed her posting photos and recipes for rewards foods - rich desserts, apparently, she enjoys reading recipes now, but was not known to do this prior to her surgery. Yet, she claims not to be hungry....this may sound strange but she says she doesn't feel hungry, but is her brain sending some kind of signals to increase her interest in food - particularly foods high in fat and sugar?Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04012064137739052552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1629175743855013102.post-82709835114956643452014-05-06T09:01:00.727-07:002014-05-06T09:01:00.727-07:00My sister also had a gastric bypass surgery last m...My sister also had a gastric bypass surgery last month.

Are you aware of that experiment where athletes were given a glucose solution versus a similar tasting solution containing a non caloric artificial sweetener? They had to cycle until exhaustion. When they became tired, they were given a zip of the drink, but… they had to spit it out. The result: the guys who tasted the glucose solution increased their time to exhaustion, the guys who tasted the fake solution did not. Ergo: 1. we are able to detect if a sweet taste represents energy and 2. the taste of an energy containg drink/food is enough to temporarily lift fatigue and improve performance.<br /><br />Which when you think about it makes sense, because it takes a relatively long time before a small glucose fix has been converted into glycogen for use in the muscles. We do not run on blood sugar. The small amount of extra energy in a sportsdrink or gel cannot explain the acutely improved performance.<br /><br />Sorry, no link right now.

"...Here is the take-home quote from the above:<br /><br />"Araujo reasoned, the sense of taste did not evolve to provide us with pleasant moments to be remembered, but rather to help us finding calories in nature in an efficient way. The actual reward that matters, that is the one that will help survival, is calories not taste."<br /><br />So taste (and I guess, smell) only directs us to the high-caloric foods. The actual calculating of how rewarding the food is takes place down below.

CarbSane, Roux-en-Y surge...Interesting discussion. CarbSane, Roux-en-Y surgery statistically has a high rate of long-term success. There of course are exceptions, and I don't know why. It could have to do with the fact that every surgeon does it a bit differently-- some cut the vagal nerve afferents to the small intestine and others don't.<br /><br />That being said, I know you could call this "moving the goalpost", but I agree with others that there is the possibility of neural adaptation over time here. The jejunum is also involved in reward sensing, and perhaps other more distal parts of the small intestine as well (they release gastric peptides in response to food and they're innervated so it's plausible). These may gradually take over from the duodenum in some people. Just an idea.<br /><br />Melchior, I don't know that much about small intestine innervation, but I know that it involves two-way flow of information that both controls GI function (e.g., motility) and receives information (e.g., calories, macronutrients). <br /><br />That finding about capsaicin injection reversing T1DM is fascinating. There is emerging research that innervation influences cell survival/death, proliferation and inflammation in metabolic tissues. Roux-en-Y surgery seems to cause beta cells to proliferate, and some researchers attribute part of the improved glycemic control to increased insulin production. Perhaps that has something to do with altered nerve signals to the pancreas-- the pancreas clearly reacts to what's happening in the intestine in a manner that can't be completely explained by circulating glucose. Circulating peptides like GLP-1 are probably part of the story, but I bet there is indirect intestine-pancreas communication via the vagus nerve.Stephan Guyenethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09218114625524777250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1629175743855013102.post-69957697643056383162011-07-12T07:59:13.974-07:002011-07-12T07:59:13.974-07:00@Melchior: You know I exist to increase your cogn...@Melchior: You know I exist to increase your cognitive dissonance ;)<br /><br />I've been fascinated by the whole GBP/diabetes thing ever since I came across it.

But if they were eating these different food stuffs seperately but in the same meal, the different signals would still hit the duodenum at approximately the same time, wouldn’t they? Or do you mean the oral and olfactorial sensing? How was their meal frequency? I imagine that long periods between meals (no snacking, no soda’s, no chewing gum, etc) give the sensoric systems enough time to chill out (and keep the organism glucose tolerant if the connection is real).Melchior Meijerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12416984522705147485noreply@blogger.com
