Project description:This study aimed at identifying differentially expressed protein-coding genes after bariatric surgery. Muscle biopsies were taken from vastus lateralis before and 3 months after bariatric surgery (i.e. sleeve gastrectomy or Roux-en-Y gastric bypass).
Project description:miRNA profiles were investigated in skeletal muscle in severely obese individuals with or without diabetes before and after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery.
Project description:We used microarray analysis to study the global program of gene expression in the liver of 21 patients with histologically proven NASH who had an improvement in disease activity, including a decrease of lobular inflammation and/or ballooning, one year after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass.
Project description:In order to identify mechanisms underlying the long-term beneficial effect of bariatric surgery on abdominal subcutaneous WAT, we performed gene microarray analyses on adipose tissue from a cohort of obese women. Adipose tissue biopsies were obtained before RYGB, and then 2 and 5 years thereafter. To evaluate the long-term effect of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery on WAT, we also compared the WAT gene expression at 5 years postsurgery with that of age-matched nonoperated women.
Project description:Objective: The mechanisms underlying type 2 diabetes resolution after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) are unclear. We previously observed temporal migrations in small intestinal glycolysis, suggesting that glucose excretion may contribute to glucose homeostasis. This study aimed to evaluate the mechanisms underlying serum glucose excretion and its contribution to glucose homeostasis by using 2-deoxy-2-[18F]-fluoro-D-glucose (FDG) positron emission tomography. Design: FDG distribution in reconstructed intestinal limbs of sham- or RYGB-operated obese rats was identified. RNA sequencing was performed in areas of high or low FDG uptake.
Project description:Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is highly effective in reversing obesity and associated diabetes. Recent observations in humans suggest a contributing role of increased circulating bile acids in mediating such effects. Here we use a diet-induced obesity mouse model and compared metabolic remission when bile flow was diverted through a gallbladder anastomosis to jejunum, ileum or duodenum (sham control). We found that only bile diversion to the ileum results in physiologic changes similar to RYGB including sustained improvements in weight, glucose tolerance and hepatic steatosis despite differential effects on hepatic gene expression. Circulating free fatty acids and triglycerides decrease while bile acids increase, particularly conjugated tauro-b-muricholic acid, an FXR antagonist. Activity of the hepatic FXR/FGF15 axis was reduced and associated with altered gut microbiota. Thus bile diversion, independent of surgical rearrangement of the gastrointestinal tract, imparts significant weight loss accompanied by improved glucose and lipid homeostasis that are hallmarks of RYGB. Total RNA from n = 5 DIO, n = 4 GB-IL, n = 5 RYGB mice livers was extracted of total RNA and submitted fro RNAseq
Project description:The mechanisms of metabolic improvements following Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery are not entirely clear. Therefore, the aim of our study was to investigate the role of obesity and RYGB on the human skeletal muscle proteome.
Project description:Profiling of N-linked glycoproteomes in rat lymph before and after gastric bypass surgery. The cohort consisted of 68 lymph samples originating from rats before and after gastric bypass surgery (RYGB) or placebo surgery (SHAM). Samples were collected from rats before, 5 days, 10 days and 21 days after the operation. The samples for this study were processed using a Versette automated liquid handling system (ThermoFisher Scientific) in a 96-well plate format. The samples were measured in label free DDA mode and glycopeptides were quantified using Progenesis (Nonlinear Dynamics).
