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:In the present study, we sought to understand the impact of bariatric surgery [using vertical sleeve gastrectomy (VSG)] on transcriptome changes in the placenta . Female Adult, Long Evans were fed high fat diet (HFD, #D03082706, Research Diets) for 4 weeks, divided into sham-VSG or VSG groups, and following surgeries one group of sham-VSG and VSG were switched to normal diet (lean), while one sham-VSG group (obese) continued HFD. At gestdational day 18, placenta tissues harvested from pregnant female rats were processed for Affymetrix microarray and transcriptomic analysis performed.
Project description:The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of bariatric surgery on the gut health. Patients operated with Roux-en-Y gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy and obese patients who want too loose weight with a traditional weight-loss program, will be followed up for 1 year. In these patients, the investigators will measure toxicity parameters to understand better the health status of their colon after surgery. In a next phase, the measured toxicity will be linked with certain players that might cause this toxicity. Protein metabolites, formed from undigested protein by microbiota in the colon, are expected to be toxic agents for the colon. Therefore, the investigators will investigate the fate of ingested protein once the surgery patients are metabolically stabilized.
Project description:Obesity is associated with multiple diseases. Bariatric surgery is the most effective therapy for severe obesity that can reduce body weight and obesity-associated morbidity. The metabolic alterations associated with obesity and respective changes after bariatric surgery are incompletely understood.We comprehensively assessed metabolic alterations associated with severe obesity and distinct bariatric procedures. In our longitudinal observational study, we applied a (1)H-nuclear magnetic resonance-based global, untargeted metabolomics strategy on human serum samples that were collected before and repeatedly <=1 y after distinct bariatric procedures [i.e., a sleeve gastrectomy, proximal Roux-en Y gastric bypass (RYGB), and distal RYGB]. For comparison, we also analyzed serum samples from normal-weight and less-obese subjects who were matched for 1-y postoperative body mass index (BMI) values of the surgical groups. We identified a metabolomic fingerprint in obese subjects that was clearly discriminated from that of normal-weight subjects. Furthermore, we showed that bariatric surgery (sleeve gastrectomy and proximal and distal RYGB) dynamically affected this fingerprint in a procedure-dependent manner, thereby establishing new fingerprints that could be discriminated from those of BMI-matched and normal-weight control subjects. Metabolites that largely contributed to the metabolomic fingerprints of severe obesity were aromatic and branched-chain amino acids (elevated), metabolites related to energy metabolism (pyruvate and citrate; elevated), and metabolites suggested to be derived from gut microbiota (formate, methanol, and isopropanol; all elevated). Our data indicate that bariatric surgery, irrespective of the specific kind of procedure used, reverses most of the metabolic alterations associated with obesity and suggest profound changes in gut microbiome-host interactions after the surgery. This trial was registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT02480322.

Project description:Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is a highly prevalent chronic liver disease worldwide that encompasses a spectrum of steatosis, inflammation, and fibrosis. Evidence suggests that weight loss approaches such as dietary restriction (DR) and sleeve gastrectomy (SG) can lead to remission of hepatic steatosis and inflammation. However, it remains unclear about the effects of weight loss on the hepatic immune mechanisms in MASLD. Therefore, this study aims to elucidate the intricate immunometabolic landscape of steatotic livers following DI and BS by employing the sleeve gastrectomy (a typical BS procedure) and comparable food intake after sham surgery in a rat model of MASLD. Single-cell (sc) and single-nuclei (sn) transcriptome analysis together with spatial metabolomics and immunohistochemistry were utilized to depict immunometabolic landscape, while circulating markers were assessed in serum. Furthermore, artificial intelligence (AI)-based image analysis was introduced to characterize the distribution of hepatocytes, myeloid cells and lymphocytes.
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).
