Core Tip
Core tip: The worldwide prevalence of obesity continues to rise. Delayed gastric emptying and impaired gastric accommodation result in upper gastrointestinal symptoms, through intrinsic nerve and pacemaker dysfunction. Glycemic control has a limited effect on gastric emptying in diabetic gastroparesis. Treatment of diabetes with pancreatic hormones and incretins inhibits gastric emptying, reduces hyperglycemia, and facilitates weight loss. Meta-analysis shows that glucagon-like peptide-1 analog, liraglutide, is one of the two most efficacious treatments of obesity. Bariatric surgery and endoscopic interventions are efficacious in diabetes and obesity, but long term follow-up is required for endoscopic interventions as well as for newer bariatric procedures. On the horizon, combination therapies directed at gastrointestinal function appear promising for these indications.
