Sleeve gastrectomy leads to weight loss in the Magel2 knockout mouse.

ABSTRACT: Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is a genetic disorder characterized by hyperphagia, obesity, cardiopulmonary diseases, and increased mortality. Although successful weight loss improves health in PWS, few treatments cause sustained weight loss in obese patients let alone obese individuals with PWS.The present study uses the Magel2 knockout (KO) mouse, an animal model of PWS, to conduct a preclinical study on the efficacy of sleeve gastrectomy (SG) in PWS.Academic research laboratory, United States.We performed sham or SG surgeries in 24- to 28-week-old male Magel2 KO and wild-type littermate control mice (WT) who had been maintained on a high-fat diet for 10 weeks. We monitored weight, food intake, and fat and lean mass pre- and postoperatively. Fasting glucose, glucose tolerance, and counter-regulation were measured postoperatively.Magel2 KO animals had similar recovery and mortality rates compared with WT. SG resulted in similar weight loss, specifically loss of fat but not lean mass, in both Magel2 KO and WT mice. SG also resulted in significantly lower fasting glucose levels and a reduction in fat intake in both Magel2 KO and WT mice. We also found that Magel2 KO mice failed to increase their food intake in response to the glucoprivic agent 2-deoxy-D-glucose, suggesting impaired glucose counter-regulation, but this occurred regardless of surgical status. All results were considered significant when P< .05.We find in this mouse model of PWS, SG is a well-tolerated, effective strategy for weight and fat loss.

Project description:Objective: To evaluate (1) the efficacy of transit bipartition (TB) as revisional bariatric surgery (RBS) after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG); (2) the impact of the length of the common channel (CC) on weight loss. Background: LSG in combination with TB has been shown to be highly efficacious for treating morbid obesity. The role of TB as RBS to address the problem of primary failure or weight recidivism after LSG is less well defined. Methods: Observational study of outcomes in 100 morbidly obese patients who received a TB following LSG. Follow-up examinations (FE) were performed at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months. Variables analyzed included BMI, percent excess weight loss (%EWL), total body weight loss (%TBWL), effect on obesity-related conditions and complications. Results: The mean BMI before LSG was 49.9 ± 8.5 kg/m2. A nadir of 32.7 ± 6.1 kg/m2 was reached 22.1 ± 16.9 months after LSG (%EWL 70.0 ± 14.5). The time interval between LSG and TB was 52.2 ± 26.6 months at which the BMI had increased to 37.6 ± 7.1 kg/m2 and %EWL decreased to 49.4 ± 19.7. Following TB, the BMI decreased continuously to 31.4 ± 5.7 kg/m2 after 12 months with a parallel increase in %EWL to 74.7 ± 20.3 and %TWL reaching 36.3 ± 10.5. Weight loss was significantly higher for CC length of 250 versus 300 cm after 12 months (BMI 29.4 ± 5.3/33 ± 5.3 kg/m2, P = 0.002; %EWL 79.8 ± 26.6/70.4 ± 17; P = 0.009). Improvement of comorbidities was observed in a high proportion of patients. Major early complications occurred in 3% of the patients. Conclusion: TB is an effective second-step procedure to address insufficient weight loss or weight recidivism after LSG. CC length of 250 versus 300 cm had a significant impact. While most improvements of obesity-related comorbidities are likely linked to weight loss, amelioration of GERD is largely mediated by accelerated gastric emptying. Major complications were observed in 3% of patients and managed without fatalities. Mini-Abstract: Weight regain after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is a common problem in the treatment of morbid obesity. We evaluated the efficacy of transit bipartition (TB), also termed SASI bypass, to address primary failure or weight regain following LSG in 100 patients. TB proved to be an effective second-step procedure with excess weight loss reaching 75% after 12 months and significant improvement of obesity-related comorbidities.

Project description:BackgroundFood intakes 1-2 years following bariatric surgery depend more on patients than the surgery's gastrointestinal tract changes. This study aimed to determine the major dietary patterns of patients after the first two years of sleeve gastrectomy and to investigate their associations with total weight loss (TWL) and the proportion of TWL as fat mass (FM) and fat-free mass (FFM) loss.MethodsThis cross-sectional study included 146 patients undergoing sleeve gastrectomy 2-4 years after surgery. Dietary patterns were determined using principal component analysis based on the 19 food groups. The percentage of FM loss relative to TWL (%FML) and FFM loss relative to TWL (%FFML) were calculated. A suboptimal clinical response was defined as a TWL of less than 25%. High FM loss and excessive FFM loss were defined based on the highest tertiles. Linear and logistic regression models were used to derive unstandardized (B) coefficients and odds ratios (OR), with dietary pattern scores serving as both a continuous and a binary variable (higher vs. lower adherence groups based on median).ResultsTwo predominant dietary patterns were retained. Each 1-unit increase in the first dietary pattern score characterized by high intakes of fast foods, soft drinks, processed meats, sugar confectionary, salty snacks, grains, and organ meats was associated with higher %FFML (B = 1.99; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.34, 3.66), lower %FML (B = - 1.84; 95% CI - 3.49, - 0.20), and higher odds of excessive FFM loss (OR = 1.84; 95% CI 1.09, 3.11). Participants with higher adherence to the first dietary pattern had lower %TWL, and greater odds of suboptimal clinical response and excessive FFM loss than those with lower adherence. Each 1-unit increase in score for the second dietary pattern characterized by a high intake of fruits, dairy, vegetables, legumes, eggs, nuts, red meats, poultry, and fish was associated with lower odds of suboptimal clinical response (OR = 0.51; 95% CI 0.31, 0.86).ConclusionPatients should be encouraged to modify their diet by reducing the consumption of ultra-processed foods and increasing their intake of high-quality protein sources, fruits, and vegetables to achieve the best postoperative outcome.
