Environmental chemical burden in metabolic tissues and systemic biological pathways in adolescent bariatric surgery patients: A pilot untargeted metabolomic approach
Project description:The molecular background of mitochondrial dysfunction in adipose tissue of morbidly obese individuals and bariatric surgery-induced changes in adipose mitochondrial function remain incompletely understood. To evaluate the mechanisms behind the surgery-induced changes and differences between morbidly obese subjects and nonobese controls, we performed a LC-MS/MS proteomics analysis of abdominal subcutaneous (SAT) and visceral adipose tissue samples (VAT) collected from the bariatric surgery, SAT samples collected 6 months after surgery, and control SAT and VAT samples collected from baseline.
Project description:A prospective, multicenter, cohort study was conducted in patients with severe obesity, who were randomized between two bariatric surgery techniques (Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and one anastomosis gastric bypass). Fecal samples were collected from 45 obese patients before surgery (T0) and 24 months after surgery (T1) and analyzed by shotgun metaproteomics.
