Relation of the rs6923761 gene variant in glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor with weight, cardiovascular risk factor, and serum adipokine levels in obese female subjects.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Studies of the glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor have been directed at identifying polymorphisms in the GLP-1 receptor gene that may be a contributing factor in the pathogenesis of diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular risk factors. Nevertheless, the role of GLP-1 variants on body weight, cardiovascular risk factors, and adipokines remains unclear in obese patients. OBJECTIVE:Our aim was to analyze the effects of rs6923761 GLP-1 receptor polymorphism on body weight, cardiovascular risk factors, and serum adipokine levels in nondiabetic obese females. DESIGN:A sample of 645 obese nondiabetic Caucasian females was enrolled in a prospective way. Basal fasting glucose, c-reactive protein (CRP), insulin, insulin resistance (homeostasis model assessment (HOMA)), total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, triglycerides concentration, and adipokines were measured. Weights, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, fat mass by bioimpedance, and blood pressure measures were measured. RESULTS:Three hundred and twenty-seven participants (50.7%) had the genotype GG and 318 (49.3%) study subjects had the next genotypes; GA (270 study subjects, 41.9%) or AA (48 study subjects, 7.4%) (second group). In wild group (GG genotype), BMI (1.8 ± 2.3 kg/m(2) ; P < 0.05), weight (3.1 ± 1.3 kg; P < 0.05), fat mass (2.4 ± 1.1 kg; P < 0.05), waist circumference (2.7 ± 1.9 cm; P < 0.05), triglyceride levels (10.4 ± 5.3 mg/dl; P < 0.05), interleukin 6 (IL-6) (1.5 ± 0.9 ng/dl; P < 0.05), resistin (1.1 ± 0.3 ng/dl; P < 0.05), and leptin (30.1 ± 10.3 ng/dl; P < 0.05) levels were higher than mutant group (GA + AA). CONCLUSION:Data from our study revealed an association with decreased metabolic and cardiovascular markers in obese females. BMI weight, fat mass, waist circumference, triglycerides, leptin, resistin, and IL-6 serum levels were lower in subjects with A allele than non-A allele subjects.

Project description:IntroductionBody size underestimation in patients with obesity may be associated with long-term weight increase. In the current report, we analyse changes in body size perception in patients with obesity undergoing either bariatric surgery or usual obesity care, and in subgroups of patients who gain weight or maintain their body weight over 10 years.Materials and methodsA total of 2,504 patients with obesity from the prospective, controlled Swedish Obese Subjects (SOS) intervention study were included in this report, 1,370 patients underwent bariatric surgery and 1,134 patients were usual care controls. Weight was measured and body size was self-estimated using the Stunkard's figure rating scale at baseline and after 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8 and 10 years of follow-up. A body perception index (BPI) was calculated as estimated/measured BMI. Weight (re)gain was defined as ≥10% increase between 1 and 10 years of follow-up.ResultsBody size was underestimated by 12% in the surgery and 14% in the control group (i.e., >5 BMI units) at baseline and underestimation largely persisted over 10 years in both intervention groups. When stratified by long-term weight development, weight regainers from the surgery group underestimated their body size to a larger degree compared to weight maintainers (12 vs. 9%, p < 0.001) after 10 years. Likewise weight gainers in the control group also underestimated their body size to a larger degree (17% vs. 13%, p < 0.001). In both groups, the change in BPI was significantly different between weight regainers and maintainers during follow-up (time-BPI interactions both p < 0.001).ConclusionPatients with obesity underestimate their body size and this underestimation remains long-term even after major weight loss induced by bariatric surgery. In patients with obesity who maintain their weight, regardless of treatment, underestimation of body size persists but body size perception is slightly more accurate compared to patients who gain or regain weight long-term.

Project description:BackgroundIncreasing evidence supports a relationship between obesity and either infertility or subfertility in women. Most previous omics studies were focused on determining if the serum and follicular fluid expression profiles of subjects afflicted with both obesity-related infertility and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) are different than those in normal healthy controls. As granulosa cells (GCs) are essential for oocyte development and fertility, we determined here if the protein expression profiles in the GCs from obese subjects are different than those in their normal-weight counterpart.MethodsGC samples were collected from obese female subjects (n = 14) and normal-weight female subjects (n = 12) who were infertile and underwent in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment due to tubal pathology. A quantitative approach including tandem mass tag labeling and liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (TMT) was employed to identify differentially expressed proteins. Gene Ontology (GO) and the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analyses were then conducted to interrogate the functions and pathways of identified proteins. Clinical, hormonal, and biochemical parameters were also analyzed in both groups.ResultsA total of 228 differentially expressed proteins were noted, including 138 that were upregulated whereas 90 others were downregulated. Significant pathways and GO terms associated with protein expression changes were also identified, especially within the mitochondrial electron transport chain. The levels of free fatty acids in both the serum and follicular fluid of obese subjects were significantly higher than those in matched normal-weight subjects.ConclusionsIn GCs obtained from obese subjects, their mitochondria were damaged and the endoplasmic reticulum stress response was accompanied by dysregulated hormonal synthesis whereas none of these changes occurred in normal-weight subjects. These alterations may be related to the high FFA and TG levels detected in human follicular fluid.

Project description:Background. Differential gene expression in adipose tissue during diet-induced weight loss followed by a weight stability period is not well characterized. Markers of these processes may provide a deeper understanding of the underlying mechanisms. Objective. To identify differentially expressed genes in human adipose tissue during weight loss and weight maintenance after weight loss. Design. RNA from subcutaneous abdominal adipose tissue from nine obese subjects was obtained and analyzed at baseline, after weight reduction on a low calorie diet (LCD), and after a period of group therapy in order to maintain weight stability. Results. Subjects lost 18.8 + 5.4% of their body weight during the LCD and maintained this weight during group therapy. Insulin sensitivity (HOMA) improved after weight loss with no further improvement during weight maintenance. Cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 2B (CDKN2B) and JAZF zinc finger 1 (JAZF1), associated with type 2 diabetes, were downregulated. We could also confirm the downregulation of candidates for obesity and related traits, such as tenomodulin (TNMD) and matrix metallopeptidase 9 (MMP9), with weight loss. The expression of other candidates, such as cell death-inducing DFFA-like effector A (CIDEA) and stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD) were upregulated during weight loss but returned to baseline levels during weight maintenance. Conclusion. Genes in the adipose tissue are differentially expressed during weight loss and weight maintenance after weight loss. Genes that show sustained regulation may be of potential interest as markers of the beneficial effects of weight loss whereas others seem to be primarily involved in the process of weight loss itself. Nine participants were prescribed a low calorie diet (LCD) containing 1200 kcal/day for approximately three months (101 ± 26 days). Following the weight reduction phase the participants attended a six month follow-up period (167 ± 37 days). By protocol design, subjects were eligible to enter the study if they had lost at least 10% of their initial body weight during the LCD-period and maintained this weight (+5%) after group therapy. Subcutaneous adipose tissue samples were obtained at three time-points: (i) at baseline, (ii) after weight reduction when subjects were no longer losing weight, and (iii) after the group therapy weight maintenance phase.
