Testing hormones and nerve signals after gastric bypass
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This early-phase study looks at how the body’s hormone signals and nerve control affect insulin release after gastric bypass surgery. It may help researchers understand what drives low blood sugar and how to better monitor or treat it.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had gastric bypass (RYGB) and have had very low blood sugar (under 50 mg/dl) or you are an asymptomatic bariatric surgery patient
- Or you are a healthy person who has never been diagnosed with diabetes
- You can physically travel to the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center research center for study visits
- You do not have major active heart, lung, liver, stomach/gut, or kidney disease
- You can provide informed consent, and you are not pregnant
- For bypass participants: no gastric outlet blockage and no severe diarrhea

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how the body handles carbohydrates after eating in people who have had gastric bypass surgery, with or without post-surgery hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). The goal is to understand why some people get low blood sugar after meals and how to better manage it.
This early trial studies how blood sugar moves in people after certain weight-loss surgery compared with people without surgery. It may help researchers understand why blood sugar can drop too low and how treatments like atropine affect that process.
This early study looks at a gut hormone–based treatment (GLP-1) and how it affects blood sugar and digestion after gastric bypass. It may help people who are having repeated low blood sugar episodes after surgery.
This study looks at how the hormone glucagon affects blood sugar in people who have had gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy surgery more than a year ago, compared to people who have not had any gastrointestinal surgery. It aims to understand glucose metabolism better and may help improve care for people after bariatric surgery.
This study looks at how gut hormones and blood sugar control change after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. It may help researchers understand what supports healthier glucose levels after bariatric surgery.
This study compares different ways to manage episodes of low blood sugar that can happen after meals in people who have had weight-loss or other stomach surgery. It looks at whether changes in diet, certain medications, or a procedure done with a scope can help prevent these episodes.
