Transcriptomic profiling of the liver after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass in a humanized murine model of the metabolic syndrome
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: The metabolic syndrome (MetS) is attributed to a number of risk factors related to obesity and its comorbidities such as hypertension, increased blood glucose, hypertriglyceridemia and cardiovascular disease (CAD). Several mouse models have been used trying to understand the metabolic abnormalities occur in obesity and MetS. However, The ApoE*3Leiden.human Cholesteryl Ester Transfer Protein (ApoE3L.CETP) mouse model better describes the physiology and pathophysiology of the MetS upon high fat diet (HFD) feeding. Towards MetS treatment, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is a surgical bariatric approach that allows to achieve sustained and long-term weight loss and to improve comorbidities of the MetS. The aim of this study was to elucidate whether improvements in lipid and glucose metabolism after RYGB surgery are body weight-dependent or not and to identify transcriptomic signatures related to these phenotypic observations.
