Q1) Ghrelin is secreted by?
a) Stomach - Fundus
b) Stomach - Antrum
c) Proximal Small Intestine
d) Distal Small Intestine
Ghrelin, the only known orexigenic gut hormone, is also known as the hunger hormone and is secreted by P/D1 cells of the gastric fundus.
Ghrelin stimulates release of various neuropeptides, such as neuropeptide Y (NPY) and growth hormone, from the hypothalamus, which creates an orexigenic or increased appetite state.

b) Adherence to low calorie diet reduces weight loss of about 6-8% in 6 months

Q3) Which of the following weight loss surgery for morbid obesity is obsolete?
a) Gastric Bypass
b) Jejuno ileal bypass
c) Vertical band gastroplasty
d) Bilio Pancreatic Diversion
3) b
Earlier jejunoileal bypass was the procedure done for morbid obesity. Later results showed that this procedure was associated with significant short term and long term complications, the most important being cirrhosis due to bacterial overgrowth and malabsorption.
Biliopancreatic diversion involves the diversion of these secretions to the bypassed intestinal segment. This procedure decreases but does not completely eliminate bacterial overgrowth.
