Chen YK, Liu TT, Teia FKF, Xie MZ. Exploring the underlying mechanisms of obesity and diabetes and the potential of Traditional Chinese Medicine: an overview of the literature. Front Endocrinol (Lausanne) 2023; 14:1218880.

Abstract
Obesity and diabetes are closely related metabolic disorders that have become major public health concerns worldwide. Over the past few decades, numerous studies have explored the underlying mechanisms of these disorders and identified various risk factors, including genetics, lifestyle, and dietary habits. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has been increasingly recognized for its potential to manage obesity and diabetes. Weight loss is difficult to sustain, and several diabetic therapies, such as sulfonylureas, thiazolidinediones, and insulin, might make it harder to lose weight. While lifestyle changes should be the primary approach for people interested in lowering weight, drugs are also worth investigating. Since some of the newer glucose-lowering medications that cause weight loss, such as glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) and sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i), are additionally utilized or are under consideration for use as anti-obesity drugs, the frontier between glucose-lowering medication and weight loss drugs appears to be shifting. This review provides an overview of the literature on the underlying mechanisms of obesity and diabetes and the prospect of TCM in their management. We discuss the various TCM interventions, including acupuncture, herbal medicine, and dietary therapy, and their effects on metabolic health. We also highlight the potential of TCM in regulating gut microbiota, reducing inflammation, and improving insulin sensitivity. The findings suggest that TCM may provide a promising approach to preventing and managing obesity and diabetes. However, further well-designed studies are needed to confirm the efficacy and safety of TCM interventions and to elucidate their underlying mechanisms of action.

Effects of an Intervention with Selenium and Coenzyme Q 10 on Five Selected Age-Related Biomarkers in Elderly Swedes Low in Selenium: Results That Point to an Anti-Ageing Effect-A Sub-Analysis of a Previous Prospective Double-Blind Placebo-Controlled Randomised Clinical Trial. Cells 2023; 12:1773. [PMID: 37443807 PMCID: PMC10340529 DOI: 10.3390/cells12131773] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/23/2023] [Revised: 06/26/2023] [Accepted: 06/30/2023] [Indexed: 07/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Background: Ageing is associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD). As no single biomarker reflects the full ageing process, we aimed to investigate five CVD- and age-related markers and the effects of selenium and coenzyme Q10 intervention to elucidate the mechanisms that may influence the course of ageing. Methods: This is a sub-study of a previous prospective double-blind placebo-controlled randomized clinical trial that included 441 subjects low in selenium (mean age 77, 49% women). The active treatment group (n = 220) received 200 µg/day of selenium and 200 mg/day of coenzyme Q10, combined. Blood samples were collected at inclusion and after 48 months for measurements of the intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM-1), adiponectin, leptin, stem cell factor (SCF) and osteoprotegerin (OPG), using ELISAs. Repeated measures of variance and ANCOVA evaluations were used to compare the two groups. In order to better understand and reduce the complexity of the relationship between the biomarkers and age, factor analyses and structural equation modelling (SEM) were performed, and a structural model is presented. Results: Correlation analyses of biomarker values at inclusion in relation to age, and relevant markers related to inflammation, endothelial dysfunction and fibrosis, demonstrated the biomarkers' association with these pathological processes; however, only ICAM1 and adiponectin were directly correlated with age. SEM analyses showed, however, that the biomarkers ICAM-1, adiponectin, SCF and OPG, but not leptin, all had significant associations with age and formed two independent structural factors, both significantly related to age. While no difference was observed at inclusion, the biomarkers were differently changed in the active treatment and placebo groups (decreasing and increasing levels, respectively) at 48 months (p ≤ 0.02 in all, adjusted), and in the SEM model, they showed an anti-ageing impact. Conclusions: Supplementation with selenium/Q10 influenced the analysed biomarkers in ways indicating an anti-ageing effect, and by applying SEM methodology, the interrelationships between two independent structural factors and age were validated.

Circulating Adipokines and Associations With Incident Cardiovascular Disease in Rheumatoid Arthritis. Arthritis Care Res (Hoboken) 2023; 75:768-777. [PMID: 35313088 PMCID: PMC10588673 DOI: 10.1002/acr.24885] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/29/2021] [Revised: 03/09/2022] [Accepted: 03/17/2022] [Indexed: 11/05/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess whether circulating levels of adiponectin, leptin, and fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF-21) are associated with incident cardiovascular disease (CVD) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). METHODS Adipokines were measured using banked enrollment serum from patients with RA and dichotomized above/below the median value. Incident CVD events (coronary artery disease [CAD], stroke, heart failure [HF] hospitalization, venous thromboembolism, CVD-related deaths) were identified using administrative data and the National Death Index. Covariates were derived from medical record, biorepository, and registry databases. Multivariable Cox models were generated to quantify associations between adipokine concentrations and CVD incidence. Five-year incidence rates were predicted. RESULTS Among 2,598 participants, 639 (25%) had at least 1 CVD event over 19,585 patient-years of follow-up. High adiponectin levels were independently associated with HF hospitalization (hazard ratio [HR] 1.39 [95% confidence interval (95% CI) 1.07-1.79], P = 0.01) and CVD-related death (HR 1.49 [95% CI 1.16-1.92], P = 0.002) but not with other CVD events. High leptin was independently associated with CVD-related death (HR 1.44 [95% CI 1.05-1.97], P = 0.02). High FGF-21 levels were independently associated with lower rates of CAD (HR 0.75 [95% CI 0.58-0.97], P = 0.03). In subgroup analyses, associations between high adiponectin and leptin levels with CVD-related death were driven by strong associations in nonobese patients. CONCLUSION Adipokines are associated with HF hospitalization and CVD-related death in patients with RA, with stronger associations in nonobese participants. These findings suggest that adipokines effectively predict clinically important outcomes in RA perhaps through an association with body composition and metabolic health. Further study is needed to determine whether adipokine measures might augment existing tools to identify RA patients at increased risk of CVD.

Differences in gastrointestinal hormones and appetite ratings between individuals with and without obesity-A systematic review and meta-analysis. Obes Rev 2023; 24:e13531.

Abstract
Determining if gastrointestinal (GI) hormone response to food intake differs between individuals with, and without, obesity may improve our understanding of obesity pathophysiology. A systematic review and meta-analysis of studies assessing the concentrations of GI hormones, as well as appetite ratings, following a test meal, in individuals with and without obesity was undertaken. Systematic searches were conducted in the databases MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane Library, PsycINFO, Web of Science, and ClinicalTrials.gov. A total of 7514 unique articles were retrieved, 115 included in the systematic review, and 70 in the meta-analysis. The meta-analysis compared estimated standardized mean difference in GI hormones' concentration, as well as appetite ratings, between individuals with and without obesity. Basal and postprandial total ghrelin concentrations were lower in individuals with obesity compared with controls, and this was reflected by lower postprandial hunger ratings in the former. Individuals with obesity had a lower postprandial concentration of total peptide YY compared with controls, but no significant differences were found for glucagon-like peptide 1, cholecystokinin, or other appetite ratings. A large methodological and statistical heterogeneity among studies was found. More comprehensive studies are needed to understand if the differences observed are a cause or a consequence of obesity.

A Randomized Trial with Two Hypocaloric Diets with Different Lipid Profiles and Effects on Serum Omentin-1 Levels in Obese Subjects. DISEASE MARKERS 2022; 2022:6777283. [PMID: 35295321 PMCID: PMC8920664 DOI: 10.1155/2022/6777283] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/31/2021] [Revised: 02/09/2022] [Accepted: 03/01/2022] [Indexed: 11/20/2022]
Abstract
Background The effects of weight loss therapies on omentin-1 levels have been unclear, showing both elevations and decreases in circulating levels. The role of dietary fat might have an important role. The aim of our investigation was to evaluate the influence of weight decrease on omentin-1 levels after two different high-fat hypocaloric diets. Methods 319 Caucasian obese subjects were randomly allocated during 12 weeks (Diet M (high monounsaturated fat diet) vs. Diet P (high polyunsaturated fat diet)). The mean age was 47.2 ± 5.0 years (range: 26-64), and the mean body mass index (BMI) was 37.9 ± 4.1 kg/m2 (range: 30.6-39.8). Sex distribution was 237 females (74.7%) and 72 males (25.3%). Anthropometric and biochemical parameters were evaluated at basal and after both diets. SPSS 23.0 has been used to realize univariant and multivariant statistical analysis. Results After both diets, BMI, weight, fat mass, waist circumference, systolic blood, LDL-cholesterol, insulin levels, and HOMA-IR decreased in a statistical way from basal values. These improvements were similar in both diets. After Diet P, omentin-1 levels increase (21.2 ± 9.1 ng/ml: P = 0.02), and after Diet M, this adipokine increases (47.1 ± 11.2 ng/ml: P = 0.02), too. The increase of omentin-1 with Diet M was statistically significantly higher than that after Diet P (P = 0.01). A multiple regression analyses adjusted by age and sex reported a statistical relation between BMI (kg/m2) and insulin (UI/L) with omentin-1 levels. Conclusions Our study demonstrated a significant improvement on serum omentin-1 levels after weight loss secondary to both diets; in contrast, omentin-1 improvement was higher with Diet M than with Diet P.

Abstract
Obesity and type 2 diabetes are rapidly increasing in the adolescent population. We sought to determine whether adipokines, specifically leptin, C1q/TNF-related proteins 1 (CTRP1) and CTRP9, and the hepatokine fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21), are associated with obesity and hyperglycemia in a cohort of lean and obese adolescents, across the spectrum of glycemia. In an observational, longitudinal study of lean and obese adolescents, we measured fasting laboratory tests, oral glucose tolerance tests, and adipokines including leptin, CTRP1, CTRP9, and FGF21. Participants completed baseline and 2-year follow-up study visits and were categorized as lean (LC, lean control; n = 30), obese normoglycemic (ONG; n = 61), and obese hyperglycemic (OHG; n = 31) adolescents at baseline and lean (n = 8), ONG (n = 18), and OHG (n = 4) at follow-up. Groups were compared using ANOVA and regression analysis, and linear mixed effects modeling was used to test for differences in adipokine levels across baseline and follow-up visits. Results showed that at baseline, leptin was higher in all obese groups (P < 0.001) compared with LC. FGF21 was higher in OHG participants compared with LC (P < 0.001) and ONG (P < 0.001) and positively associated with fasting glucose (P < 0.001), fasting insulin (P < 0.001), Homeostasis Model Assessment-Insulin Resistance Index (HOMA-IR; P < 0.001), and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c; P = 0.01). CTRP1 was higher in OHG compared with ONG (P = 0.03). CTRP9 was not associated with obesity or hyperglycemia in this pediatric cohort. At 2 years, leptin decreased in ONG (P = 0.003) and FGF21 increased in OHG (P = 0.02), relative to lean controls. Altered adipokine levels are associated with the inflammatory milieu in obese youth with and without hyperglycemia. In adolescence, the novel adipokine CTRP1 was elevated with hyperglycemia, whereas CTRP9 was unchanged in this cohort.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Leptin is higher in obese adolescents and FGF21 is higher in obese hyperglycemic adolescents. The novel adipokine CTRP1 is higher in obese hyperglycemic adolescents, whereas CTRP9 was unchanged in this adolescent cohort.

Abstract
The prevalence of obesity has increased in recent decades and has become a public health problem. In obesity patients the metabolism of almost all adipokines is markedly dysregulated. Studies regarding levels of ghrelin, leptin, and adiponectin after bariatric surgery reveal contradictory results. The purpose of the present study was to analyze modification of body weight and plasma levels of fasting glucose, ghrelin, adiponectin and leptin, in obese rats with T2DM after sleeve gastrectomy (SG), gastric plication (GP) and sham-operated (SO). Eighteen specimens where randomized to three weight-matched groups: Group SG underwent sleeve gastrectomy (n=6), group GP underwent gastric plication (n=6) and the control group SO underwent sham surgery (n=6). Upon surgery a normal rat chow diet (Bio-Serv® product no. F4031) was fed to the rats until the end of the experiment. Additional blood samples were harvested after 4 weeks. The results revealed that body mass decreased in the SG (783.17±101.39 vs. 658.33±86.57 g; P<0.0001) and the GP (781.33±103.12 vs. 702.33±84.06 g; P=0.004) rats after surgery. There were significant lower fasting glucose levels at 4 weeks postoperative in the SG group compared to the SO group (83.1±12.81 vs. 104.5±9.81 mg/dl; P=0.016). The same trend was observed in the GP group vs. the SO group (86.7±11.43 vs. 104.5±9.81 mg/dl; P=0.026). There was no difference regarding mean glucose levels between the SG group compared to the GP group (P>0.05). Plasma acylated ghrelin and leptin levels decreased four weeks after surgery compared to preoperative levels, while adiponectin levels increased four weeks after surgery in the SG and GP groups, respectively. The present study revealed that plasma glucose levels, ghrelin and leptin levels decreased after SG and GP, while adiponectin levels improved. This suggests that there may be hormonal contribution in weight loss.

Gender-related metabolic outcomes of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy in 6-month follow-up. Wideochir Inne Tech Maloinwazyjne 2020; 15:148-156. [PMID: 32117498 PMCID: PMC7020728 DOI: 10.5114/wiitm.2019.86800] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/22/2019] [Accepted: 05/26/2019] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Introduction Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is recently a leading method in surgical treatment of morbid obesity. The metabolic outcome of intervention may be a result of many factors such as age, gender, preoperative weight loss and dietary restrictions. Aim To evaluate gender-related differences in the results of LSG in 6-month follow-up. Material and methods The study included 101 patients who underwent LSG at the University Clinical Hospital of Bialystok. Patients were divided and analyzed in 2 groups: males (n = 48) and females (n = 53). The primary analysis included the influence of gender on postoperative weight loss calculated using the percentage of excess weight loss (%EWL) and excess BMI loss (%EBMIL). For secondary outcomes the levels of glucose, insulin, glycated hemoglobin, aspartate transaminase, alanine transaminase, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein (HDL), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), triglycerides and C-reactive protein were analyzed. Results A significant influence of patients’ gender was proved for both %EWL (p = 0.026) and %EBMIL (p = 0.001). Females had significantly higher %EWL in 6-month follow-up than males (p = 0.0034). The analysis also showed significantly higher %EBMIL for women at 3 and 6 months observation (p = 0.022 and p < 0.001 respectively). Conclusions Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy is an effective method of obesity treatment especially in terms of postoperative weight loss. Females seem to benefit more from the procedure when analyzing the parameters of body mass reduction. However, further research is needed to provide strong evidence of an association between gender and the results of LSG.

Abstract
Background To determine if adiponectin levels are associated with weight loss, low muscle mass, and physical functioning among the elderly and to determine independent associations with incident disability and death. Methods Included were 3,044 participants from the Health, Aging and Body Composition Study, who had whole-body dual energy absorptiometry performed to evaluate appendicular lean mass index (ALMI, kg/m2) and fat mass index (FMI, kg/m2), computed tomography measures of thigh muscle density, weight histories, estimates of physical functioning, and adiponectin levels at enrollment. Associations between adiponectin levels and body composition, weight loss, and physical functioning were assessed in multivariable linear regression models. Associations between adiponectin and incident disability and mortality were assessed in mediation analyses, adjusting for other factors. Results Greater adiponectin at baseline was independently associated with low FMI Z-score, lower waist circumference, low ALMI Z-score, low muscle density, a history of weight loss, and poor physical functioning (all p < .05). Greater adiponectin levels (per SD) were associated with incident disability [HR: 1.14 (1.08, 1.20), p < .001] and greater mortality [HR: 1.17 (1.10, 1.25), p < .001] in models adjusting for demographic factors, adiposity, and comorbid conditions. The association was completely attenuated and no longer significant (all p > 0.05) when adjusting for body composition, muscle density, weight loss, and physical functioning at baseline. Conclusions Greater serum adiponectin levels are associated with historical weight loss, low skeletal muscle mass, low muscle density, and poor physical functioning. High adiponectin is associated with a greater risk of incident disability and death, but not independently of these factors.

Abstract
Introduction As a result of the growing number of people with obesity, the popularity of bariatric surgery has been systematically increasing. It has not yet been explored whether individual education of the patient can contribute to long-term success in weight reduction after bariatric treatment. Aim To implement and compare the effects of different education methods, versus receiving one-time written information in the form of a guidebook, on patient involvement in abiding by lifestyle recommendations after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) bariatric treatment. Material and methods The study included 160 patients with morbid obesity. The education session study participants were 100 patients after sleeve gastrectomy, with whom three education sessions were planned, and who were enrolled in the study. The control group consisted of 60 patients who underwent sleeve gastrectomy, and before discharge from the department, they received one-time written recommendations in the form of a guidebook. Results We confirmed that the three education sessions we conducted with the study group after LSG had a significant impact on weight loss. The control group, which received only written information, achieved weight loss and abided by the written recommendations, although to a lesser extent than the study group. The differences were evident particularly in motivation to adhere to recommendations and check-ups, which was significantly lower (p < 0.001) after a year of observation in the control group. Conclusions This study results should encourage the establishment of education as a permanent element of the LSG procedure.

Abstract
Introduction The worldwide outbreak of morbid obesity forced contemporary medicine to adopt a multidisciplinary approach, which led to the description of metabolic syndrome (MS): a disease with self-aggravating components and one of the most important causes of morbidity and mortality. The need for therapeutic methods provoked development of metabolic surgery, which nowadays give possibilities for safe and effective treatment of all MS aspects simultaneously and improves many obesity-related comorbidities. Aim To assess the laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) procedure's efficiency in resolving MS components, treating comorbidities and to analyze the influence on certain biochemical markers in 1-year follow-up. Material and methods The retrospective cohort study of 211 patients after an LSG operation relied on statistical analysis of clinical data collected prospectively in follow-up visits. All applicable guidelines and bioethical recommendations were respected in this study. Results Assessment of bariatric efficiency proved the LSG operation to be effective in inducing significant weight loss and treating obesity. Analysis on the influence on MS components, such as non-insulin dependent diabetes (NIDDM), arterial hypertension (AH) and dyslipidemia, showed substantial improvement in all observed cases of these diseases. In the present study, follow-up also proved a partial remission inducing effect of this bariatric operation in many comorbidities, especially in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, obstructive sleep apnea, peptic ulcer disease and depression. A desirable reduction in creatinine, C-reactive protein, uric acid, alanine aminotransferase, asparagine aminotransferase, γ-glutamyltransferase serum levels has also been observed during the follow-up. Conclusions The LSG is an effective method of treatment in all areas of metabolic syndrome, provides a significant positive clinical outcome in obesity-related comorbidities and induces desirable changes in inflammatory, kidney and liver related biomarkers.

Abstract
Bariatric surgery is very effective in achieving and maintaining weight loss but it is also associated with improvement of obesity metabolic complications, primarily type 2 diabetes (T2D). Remission of T2D or at least a net improvement of glycemic control persists for at least 5 years. The bypass of duodenum and of the first portion of the jejunum up to the Treitz ligament as in Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB), or the bypass of the duodenum, the entire jejunum and the first tract of the ileum, such as in Bilio-Pancreatic Diversion (BPD), achieve different results on insulin sensitivity. Insulin resistance is the major driver of T2D manifesting long before insulin secretion failure. In fact, T2D development can be prevented by treatment with insulin sensitizing agents. Interestingly, RYGB improves hepatic insulin sensitivity while BPD ameliorates whole-body insulin sensitivity. Two major theories have been advocated to explain the early remission of T2D following RYGB or BPD before a meaningful weight loss takes place, the foregut and the hindgut hypotheses. The former holds that the bypass of the proximal intestine, i.e. duodenum and jejunum, prevents the secretion of signals - including nervous transmitters and hormones - promoting insulin resistance, the latter instead states that the delivery of nutrients directly into the ileum stimulates the secretion of hormones improving glucose disposal. The most studied candidate is Glucagon Like Peptide 1 (GLP1). However, while there is unambiguous evidence that GLP-1 stimulates insulin secretion, its direct action in lowering insulin resistance, independently of the effect on weight loss secondary to its satiety action, is utterly controversial. In this review we examine the effects on T2D and gastrointestinal peptide secretion produced by different types of metabolic surgery and by minimally invasive endoscopic surgery, whose utilization for the treatment of obesity and T2D is gaining wider interest and acceptance.

Abstract
PURPOSE Bariatric surgery has been associated with bone remodeling changes. The action of adipokines on the expression of receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa β ligand (RANKL) and osteoprotegerin (OPG) and on an increase in sclerostin could be related to these changes. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study aimed to assess the repercussions of weight loss, fat mass (FM), and fat-free mass (FFM) loss and biochemical and hormonal changes on bone remodeling markers after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). Anthropometric data, parathyroid hormone (PTH), bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (BSAP), collagen type 1 C-telopeptide (CTX), 25-hydroxy vitamin D (25-OH-VitD), leptin, adiponectin, RANKL, OPG, and sclerostin of 30 menstruating women were measured preoperatively (Pre), and 3, 12, and 24 months (m) after RYGB. RESULTS Leptin (34.4 (14.7; 51.9) vs. 22.5 (1.9; 52.7) ng/mL) and OPG (3.6 (1.1; 11.5) vs. 3.4 (1.5; 6) pmol/L) decreased, and adiponectin (7.4 (1.7; 18.4) vs. 13.8 (3.0; 34.6) μg/mL), CTX (0.2 (0.1; 2.2) vs. 0.6 (0.4; 6.0) ng/mL), RANKL (0.1 (0.0; 0.5) vs. 0.3 (0.0; 2.0) pmol/L), and sclerostin (21.7 (3.2; 75.1) vs. 34.8 (6.4; 80.5) pmol/L) increased after 3 m. BSAP increased after 12 m (10.1 (5.4; 18.9) vs. 13.9 (6.9; 30.2) μg/mL) (p < 0.005). CTX correlated positively with adiponectin at 24 m and inversely with leptin Pre; OPG at 3 m; weight, FM, FFM, and leptin at 24 m. RANKL correlated directly with weight at 3 m. Sclerostin correlated inversely with weight Pre and FM at 3 m. BSAP correlated negatively with 25-OH-VitD at 12 m, and positively with PTH at 24 m. CONCLUSIONS RYGB induced weight loss, and biochemical, hormonal, and body composition changes are associated with higher bone remodeling.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Omentin-1 might play a role on insulin resistance, dyslipidemia and obesity. The aim of this investigation was to evaluate the influence of weight loss on omentin-1 concentrations after a hypocaloric diet with Mediterranean pattern. METHODS A Caucasian sample of 67 obese patients was analyzed before and after 3 months on a hypocaloric diet. Anthropometric parameters, blood pressure, fasting blood glucose, C-reactive protein (CRP), fasting insulin, insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), lipid concentrations and omentin-1 were measured. RESULTS Sixty-seven obese subjects were enrolled in the study. The mean age was 48.3 ± 8.0 years (range: 25-66) and the mean BMI 34.5 ± 4.8 kg/m2 (range: 30.2-40.8). Gender distribution was 50 females (74.6%) and 17 males (25.4%). After dietary intervention and in males and females; body mass index, weight, fat mass, waist circumference, blood pressure, glucose, LDL cholesterol, insulin and HOMA-IR decreased. Omentin-1 levels increase after dietary intervention (males vs females) (delta basal vs 3 months: 10.0 ± 3.8 ng/dl: p = 0.01 vs 9.9 ± 4.1 ng/dl; p = 0.03). In the multiple regression analysis adjusted for age and sex; BMI and insulin remained independently associated with baseline and post-treatment levels of omentin-1. CONCLUSIONS Our investigation showed a significant increase in omentin-1 levels after weight loss secondary to a hypocaloric diet with a Mediterranean pattern.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A deranged adipokine system is implicated in obesity and in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and the lack of remission of T2DM after bariatric surgery could be also accounted for by the postoperative persistence of this condition. METHODS Thirty T2DM patients undergoing biliopancreatic diversion (BPD) with a wide range of baseline body mass index (BMI) were evaluated prior to and at 1 and 5 years following BPD. Besides the usual clinical evaluations, acute insulin response (AIR) to intravenous glucose load as a parameter of insulin secretion and the serum leptin and adiponectin concentration were measured throughout the follow-up period in all patients. RESULTS A long-term T2DM remission was observed in 21 patients (70 %). Serum leptin level reduced at the first year and remained substantially unchanged at a long term in both the remitter and non-remitter patients, while following the operation, a progressive significant increase of serum adiponectin level was observed only in remitter patients (from 9.2 to 12.3 μg/mL at 1 year and to 15.18 μg/mL at 5 years in the remitters and from 8.8 to 8.75 μg/mL at 1 year and to 11.8 μg/mL at 5 years in the non-remitters). Serum leptin mean values were positively associated with the BMI ones both prior to and following BPD (p < 0.005), while serum adiponectin values were positively related (p < 0.04) to the postoperative AIR data. CONCLUSIONS The improvement of the pattern of cytokine production, as evidenced by postoperative rise in serum adiponectin concentration, might play a role in T2DM remission after bariatric surgery.

Abstract
Obesity is a constantly growing health problem which reduces quality of life and life expectancy. Bariatric surgery for obesity is taken into account when all other conservative treatment modalities have failed. Comparison of the multidisciplinary programs with bariatric surgery regarding to weight loss showed that substantial and durable weight reduction have been achieved only with bariatric surgical treatments. However, the benefits of weight loss following bariatric procedures are still debated regarding the pro-inflammatory and metabolic profile of obesity.

Abstract
CONTEXT C1q/TNF-related protein-9 (CTRP9) is a novel adipokine that has beneficial metabolic and cardiovascular effects in various animal models. Alterations in circulating CTRP9 have also been observed in patients with cardiovascular disease and diabetes, but little is known about the impact of obesity and bariatric surgery on CTRP9 concentrations. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to compare CTRP9 levels in obese and lean subjects and to determine whether circulating CTRP9 levels in morbidly obese patients are altered by bariatric surgery. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS Fifty-nine obese bariatric surgical patients and 62 lean controls were recruited to participate in a cross-sectional study at an academic medical center. The obese patients were further invited to participate in a cohort study, and 21 returned for analysis at 3 and 6 months postsurgery. INTERVENTION Bariatric surgery (Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and vertical sleeve gastrectomy) was the intervention for this study. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Fasting serum was obtained from all subjects on entry to the study and was analyzed in the core laboratory for hemoglobin A1c, glucose, aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, total cholesterol, high- and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and triglycerides; CTRP9, insulin, adiponectin, and leptin were measured by ELISA. Serum from the patients in the cohort study was also analyzed at 3 and 6 months. RESULTS Serum CTRP9 was significantly higher in the obese group compared to the lean group. CTRP9 was associated with obesity, even after controlling for age, gender, and ethnicity. Following bariatric surgery, there was a significant decrease in weight at 3 and 6 months postprocedure, accompanied by decreases in CTRP9, hemoglobin A1c and leptin, and an increase in serum adiponectin. CONCLUSIONS CTRP9 levels are elevated in obesity and significantly decrease following weight loss surgery. Our data suggest that CTRP9 may play a compensatory role in obesity, similar to that of insulin, and is down-regulated following weight loss surgery.
