Folli F, Pontiroli AE, Zakaria AS, Centofanti L, Tagliabue E, La Sala L. Alanine transferase levels (ALT) and triglyceride-glucose index are risk factors for type 2 diabetes mellitus in obese patients. Acta Diabetol 2024; 61:435-440. [PMID: 38057389 DOI: 10.1007/s00592-023-02209-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/07/2023] [Accepted: 11/07/2023] [Indexed: 12/08/2023]
Abstract
AIMS The role of liver steatosis and increased liver enzymes (ALT) in increasing incident type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is debated, because of their differential effects on different ethnicities and populations. The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of elevated ALT in the development of T2DM in non-diabetic obese subjects receiving routine medical treatment. METHODS A total of 1005 subjects [296 men and 709 women, aged 45.7 ± 13.12 years, body mass index (BMI) 39.5 ± 4.86 kg/m2] were followed for a mean period of 14.3 ± 4.44 years. Subjects were evaluated for several metabolic variables, including the triglyceride-glucose index and the presence of metabolic syndrome (IDF 2005 definition), and were subdivided into ALT quartiles. RESULTS T2DM developed in 136 subjects, and the difference was significant between the first and the fourth ALT quartile (p = 0.048). Both at univariate analysis and at stepwise regression, ALT quartiles were associated with incident T2DM. Traditional risk factors for T2DM coexisted, with a somehow greater predictive value, such as triglyceride-glucose index, age, arterial hypertension, LDL-cholesterol, and metabolic syndrome. CONCLUSIONS These data suggest an association between elevated ALT levels and the risk of incident T2DM in obesity.

Roux-en-Y gastric bypass induces hepatic transcriptomic signatures and plasma metabolite changes indicative of improved cholesterol homeostasis. J Hepatol 2023; 79:898-909. [PMID: 37230231 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhep.2023.05.012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/03/2022] [Revised: 04/18/2023] [Accepted: 05/08/2023] [Indexed: 05/27/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), the most effective surgical procedure for weight loss, decreases obesity and ameliorates comorbidities, such as non-alcoholic fatty liver (NAFLD) and cardiovascular (CVD) diseases. Cholesterol is a major CVD risk factor and modulator of NAFLD development, and the liver tightly controls its metabolism. How RYGB surgery modulates systemic and hepatic cholesterol metabolism is still unclear. METHODS We studied the hepatic transcriptome of 26 patients with obesity but not diabetes before and 1 year after undergoing RYGB. In parallel, we measured quantitative changes in plasma cholesterol metabolites and bile acids (BAs). RESULTS RYGB surgery improved systemic cholesterol metabolism and increased plasma total and primary BA levels. Transcriptomic analysis revealed specific alterations in the liver after RYGB, with the downregulation of a module of genes implicated in inflammation and the upregulation of three modules, one associated with BA metabolism. A dedicated analysis of hepatic genes related to cholesterol homeostasis pointed towards increased biliary cholesterol elimination after RYGB, associated with enhancement of the alternate, but not the classical, BA synthesis pathway. In parallel, alterations in the expression of genes involved in cholesterol uptake and intracellular trafficking indicate improved hepatic free cholesterol handling. Finally, RYGB decreased plasma markers of cholesterol synthesis, which correlated with an improvement in liver disease status after surgery. CONCLUSIONS Our results identify specific regulatory effects of RYGB on inflammation and cholesterol metabolism. RYGB alters the hepatic transcriptome signature, likely improving liver cholesterol homeostasis. These gene regulatory effects are reflected by systemic post-surgery changes of cholesterol-related metabolites, corroborating the beneficial effects of RYGB on both hepatic and systemic cholesterol homeostasis. IMPACT AND IMPLICATIONS Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is a widely used bariatric surgery procedure with proven efficacy in body weight management, combatting cardiovascular disease (CVD) and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). RYGB exerts many beneficial metabolic effects, by lowering plasma cholesterol and improving atherogenic dyslipidemia. Using a cohort of patients undergoing RYGB, studied before and 1 year after surgery, we analyzed how RYGB modulates hepatic and systemic cholesterol and bile acid metabolism. The results of our study provide important insights on the regulation of cholesterol homeostasis after RYGB and open avenues that could guide future monitoring and treatment strategies targeting CVD and NAFLD in obesity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Obesity associated with a change in the quantity and quality of fat depots. Using computed tomography (CT), we analyzed abdominal fat depots in patients with obesity after bariatric surgery according to their metabolic health status. METHODS AND RESULTS We recruited 79 individuals with metabolically unhealthy obesity before bariatric surgery and compared them with age-sex matched healthy controls. The volume and fat attenuation index (FAI) of fat depots were measured using CT scans that were conducted prior to and a year after bariatric surgery. 'Metabolically healthy' was defined as having no hypertension, normal fasting glucose and a waist-to-hip ratio of <1.05 for men and <0.95 for women. Individuals who achieved a metabolic health status conversion (MHC) (n = 29, 37%)-from unhealthy to healthy-were younger (p < 0.001) as compared to individuals without MHC. Pre-surgery BMI and reduction of BMI did not differ between the two groups (p = 0.099, p = 0.5730). Bariatric surgery reduced the volume and increased the FAI of fat depots. Baseline lower abdominal periaortic adipose tissue (AT) volume (p = 0.014) and great percent reduction in renal sinus AT volume after surgery (p = 0.019) were associated with MHC after surgery. Increased intraperitoneal AT FAI (p = 0.031) was also associated with MHC. CONCLUSION MHC was not associated with improvement in general obesity, based on indicators such as reduction of BMI after surgery. Weight reduction induced specific abdominal fat depot changes measured by CT are positively associated with MHC.

Abstract
The effect of metabolically active bariatric surgery treatment on lipid metabolism is inconclusive. The authors of this study presume that initial vitamin D status may play a regulating role in influencing the beneficial post-effects of bariatric surgery, especially the lipid profile. The biochemical data obtained from 24 patients who had undergone laparoscopic one-anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) at baseline, 3 months before the surgery, at the time of surgery, and 6 months later, demonstrate that vitamin D status influenced the postoperative lipid profile. The baseline established the partition line which divided patients into two groups according to the stated calcidiol initial concentration level of 32 ng/mL. The data shows that OAGB induces a decrease in TG and hsCRP while increasing HDL. Conversely, in patients whose 25(OH)D3 was below 32 ng/mL TC significantly increased while those above this concentration remained in the normal physiological range. The changes induced by OAGB in TG, glucose, and hsCRP were similar in both groups. Unexpectedly, the surgery did not affect vitamin D metabolites. In conclusion, the results of the study suggest that a higher concentration of serum 25(OH)D3 may enhance the protective effects of OAGB.

Abstract
AIMS Bariatric surgeries induce profound weight loss (decrease in body mass index, BMI), through a decrease in fat mass (FM) and to a much lesser degree of fat-free mass (FFM). Some reports indicate that the weight which is lost after gastric bypass (RYGB) and sleeve gastrectomy (SG) is at least partially regained 2 years after surgery. Here we compare changes in BMI and body composition induced by four bariatric procedures in a 5 years follow-up study. METHODS We analyzed retrospectively modifications in BMI, FM and FFM obtained through Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), sleeve gastrectomy (SG), biliopancreatic diversion (BPD) and a long common limb revisional biliopancreatic diversion (reduction of the gastric pouch and long common limb; BPD + LCL-R). Patients were evaluated at baseline and yearly for 5 years. Of the whole cohort of 565 patients, a subset of 180 patients had all yearly evaluations, while the remaining had incomplete evaluations. Setting University Hospital. RESULTS In a total of 180 patients evaluated yearly for 5 years, decrease in BMI and FM up to 2 years was more rapid with RYGB and SG than BPD and BPD + LCL-R; with RYGB and SG both BMI and FM slightly increased in the years 3-5. At 5 years, the differences were not significant. When analysing the differences between 2 and 5 years, BPD + LCL-R showed a somewhat greater effect on BMI and FM than RYGB, BPD and SG. Superimposable results were obtained when the whole cohort of 565 patients with incomplete evaluation was considered. CONCLUSIONS All surgeries were highly effective in reducing BMI and fat mass at around 2 years; with RYGB and SG both BMI and FM slightly increased in the years 3-5, while BPD and BPD + LCL-R showed a slight further decreases in the same time interval.

How Does Fat Mass Change in the First Year After Bariatric Surgery? A Systemic Review and Meta-Analysis. Obes Surg 2021; 31:3799-3821.

Abstract
This systematic review and meta-analysis investigated the time-course effect of different type of bariatric surgeries (BS) up to 1 year post-surgery on fat mass (FM) and body fat percentage (BFP) in patients with morbid obesity. We searched PubMed, Scopus, EMBASE, ISI web of science, and Cochrane databases from October 2002 until May 2020 with no restriction in the English language, to find studies examining the effect of BS on FM (kg) and BFP (%) in morbid obese patients. Meta-analysis of 103 studies carried out on data of 18,166 and 14,575 morbid obese patients following BS, showed that BS was associated with a substantial decrease in FM and BFP, respectively, in 1 month (- 8.17 kg [95% CI - 9.07, - 7.27] and - 1.51% [95% CI - 2.56, - 0.46]), 3 months (- 15.75 [95% CI - 17.49, - 14.0] and - 4.90 [95% CI - 5.97, - 3.83]), 6 months (- 22.51 [95% CI - 23.93, - 21.09] and - 8.56% [95% CI - 9.63, - 7.49]), and 12 months (- 29.69 [95% CI - 31.3, - 28.09] and - 13.49% [95% CI - 14.52, - 12.40]) after the surgery. In conclusion, BS was associated with sustained declines in FM and BFP, from 1 to 12 months, with no indication of plateau phase post-surgery post-operatively. The present study emphasizes that post-bariatric care should have more focus on FM loss during 1-year post-surgery to identify the patients at risk for fat loss plateau.

Effect of one-anastomosis gastric bypass on cardiovascular risk factors in patients with vitamin D deficiency and morbid obesity: A secondary analysis. Nutr Metab Cardiovasc Dis 2020; 30:2379-2388. [PMID: 32981799 DOI: 10.1016/j.numecd.2020.08.011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/20/2020] [Revised: 08/07/2020] [Accepted: 08/10/2020] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Bariatric patients often suffer from vitamin D (VD) deficiency, and both, morbid obesity and VD deficiency, are related to an adverse effect on cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. Therefore, we assessed the change of known CVD risk factors and its associations during the first 12 months following one-anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB). METHODS AND RESULTS In this secondary analysis, CVD risk factors, medical history and anthropometric data were assessed in fifty VD deficient (25-hydroxy-vitamin D (25(OH)D) <75 nmol/l) patients, recruited for a randomized controlled trial of VD supplementation. Based on previous results regarding bone-mass loss and the association between VD and CVD risk, the study population was divided into patients with 25(OH)D ≥50 nmol/l (adequate VD group; AVD) and into those <50 nmol/l (inadequate VD group; IVD) at 6 and 12 months (T6/12) postoperatively. In the whole cohort, substantial remission rates for hypertension (38%), diabetes (30%), and dyslipidaemia (41%) and a significant reduction in CVD risk factors were observed at T12. Changes of insulin resistance markers were associated with changes of total body fat mass (TBF%), 25(OH)D, and ferritin. Moreover, significant differences in insulin resistance markers between AVD and IVD became evident at T12. CONCLUSION These findings show that OAGB leads to a significant reduction in CVD risk factors and amelioration of insulin resistance markers, which might be connected to reduced TBF%, change in 25(OH)D and ferritin levels, as an indicator for subclinical inflammation, and an adequate VD status.

Long-term effect of bariatric surgery on body composition in patients with morbid obesity: A systematic review and meta-analysis. Clin Nutr 2020; 40:1755-1766. [PMID: 33097305 DOI: 10.1016/j.clnu.2020.10.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/28/2020] [Revised: 09/15/2020] [Accepted: 10/01/2020] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
We performed a meta-analysis to provide quantitative estimates of fat mass (FM) and fat-free mass (FFM) changes in patients following bariatric surgery over 1 year. A systematic search of PubMed, SCOPUS and Web of Science databases was conducted; the pooled weighted mean difference (WMD) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated using a random-effects model. Thirty-four studies including Roux en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), sleeve gastrectomy (SG) biliopancreatic diversion (BPD) and gastric banding (GB) were analyzed. RYGB decreased in body FM (-28.99 kg [31.21, -26.77]) or FM% (-12.73% [-15.14, -10.32]) or FFM (-9.97 kg [-10.93, -9.03]), which were greater than SG and GB. Moreover, the FFM% in RYGB group (11.72% [7.33, 16.11]) was more than SG (5.7% [4.44, 6.95]) and GB (8.1% [6.15, 10.05]) groups. Bariatric surgeries, especially RYGB, might be effective for a decrease in FM and maintenance of FFM in patients with morbid obesity in over 1 year.

Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass Is More Effective than Sleeve Gastrectomy in Improving Postprandial Glycaemia and Lipaemia in Non-diabetic Morbidly Obese Patients: a Short-term Follow-up Analysis. Obes Surg 2019; 28:3997-4005. [PMID: 30112599 DOI: 10.1007/s11695-018-3454-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 01/06/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE We aimed to compare the effects of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and sleeve gastrectomy (SG) on postprandial glucose and lipid metabolism in addition to weight loss and fasting metabolic profile, in non-diabetic patients undergoing bariatric surgery. METHODS Seventy-one patients were consecutively recruited and studied preoperatively, 3 and 6 months after surgery. Of these, 28 underwent RYGB (7 males, age 38 ± 9 years, BMI 46.9 ± 5.0 kg/m2), and 43 SG (9 males, age 38 ± 9 years, BMI 50.2 ± 7.0 kg/m2). A semi-liquid mixed meal was consumed, and blood samples were taken before, and every 30 min after meal ingestion up to 180 min postprandially, for measurement of glucose, insulin, and lipids. The overall postprandial response was assessed as area under the concentration-time curve (AUC). RESULTS Baseline metabolic parameters were similar between RYGB and SG. Both groups experienced comparable weight loss, and a similar improvement in fasting glucose, insulin, and insulin resistance. Total and LDL cholesterol levels were lower at 6 months after RYGB compared to SG, while there was no difference in HDL cholesterol or triglycerides. Glucose AUC was lower after RYGB compared to SG at both 3 (p = 0.008) and 6 months (p = 0.016), without any difference in postprandial insulin response. Triglyceride AUC was also lower in RYGB vs. SG at 3 and 6 months (p ≤ 0.001). CONCLUSIONS RYGB is superior to SG in improving postprandial glycaemia and lipaemia and cholesterol profile 6 months postoperatively in non-diabetic, severely obese patients. These findings imply procedure-specific effects, such as the malabsorptive nature of RYGB, and less likely a different incretin postoperative response.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Changes in body composition after bariatric surgery such as a sustained loss of body fat are often associated with an inevitable loss of fat free mass. This can contribute to an undesirable disturbance in resting metabolic rate and weight maintenance. Our aim was to study changes in body composition in a multiethnic Asian cohort following bariatric surgery and to identify differences between laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy and laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. METHODS A retrospective review of prospectively collected data on 295 patients who underwent either laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (256 patients) or laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (39 patients) was performed. Body composition variables were measured with the analyzer, GAIA 359 PLUS, which included the parameters; total body weight, body mass index, excess weight, basal metabolic rate, fat-free mass, fat mass, and total body water. RESULTS There were no statistical differences in gender, ethnicity, age, weight, height, and body mass index between laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. At each time point (6, 12, 24, and 36 months) post-operation, there was no significant differences in % total body weight loss, basal metabolic rate, fat mass, fat percentage, and total body water between sleeve gastrectomy and bypass patients. There was significant difference (p < 0.05) in fat free mass only at 3 years post-operation, with sleeve gastrectomy patients having 9.79 kg less fat-free mass than bypass patients. However, after multivariate analysis, we found no statistically significant differences. CONCLUSION Sleeve gastrectomy and gastric bypass seemed to give similar changes to body composition.

Abstract
AIMS Long-term comparisons between bariatric surgical techniques have been performed for gastric bypass (RYGB), sleeve gastrectomy (LSG), and biliopancreatic diversion (BPD) vs gastric banding (LAGB), but short-term studies (6 months-4 years) have only compared biliointestinal bypass (BIBP) and LAGB. The participating institutions regularly perform both BIBP and LAGB with a common protocol, and the aim of this retrospective study was to compare long-term effects of the two procedures on body weight, on clinical and metabolic variables, and on resolution of obesity and of diabetes. METHODS All procedures performed between 01/01/1998 and 31/12/2005 were considered; 73 out of 91 patients undergoing BIBP, and 154 out of 249 patients undergoing LAGB were evaluable up to 9 years. RESULTS BIBP was significantly more effective than LAGB in terms of weight loss and of resolution of obesity (BMI < 30 kg/m2), in terms of decrease of systolic blood pressure and of serum cholesterol, and similar in terms of resolution of diabetes. In addition, the effect of BIBP was stable, while the effect of LAGB decreased with time. CONCLUSIONS Both BIBP and LAGB exert long-term effects on body weight, on blood pressure, and on resolution of diabetes mellitus; the effect of BIBP is significantly greater than the effect of LAGB in terms of weight loss, resolution of obesity, of control of systolic blood pressure and of serum cholesterol, but not in terms of resolution of diabetes.

Abstract
CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has been increasingly diagnosed worldwide and is now recognized as a source of public health concern. It comprises a wide spectrum of histological features that range from simple steatosis to severe forms of fibrosis, steatohepatitis and even cirrhosis. The impact of bariatric surgery on the course of NAFLD in individuals with obesity has been extensively studied. DESIGN AND SETTING: Narrative review; public university hospital. METHODS: A comprehensive review was conducted based on an online search on the electronic databases MEDLINE and LILACS using the MeSH terms "fatty liver" and "bariatric surgery". RESULTS: The exact mechanisms that lead to improvement in NAFLD following bariatric surgery are not completely understood. Since Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is the bariatric surgical procedure most performed worldwide, it is also the one from which the effects on NAFLD have been most studied, although there is also consistent evidence regarding the effects from gastric banding, sleeve gastrectomy and biliopancreatic diversions. CONCLUSION: According to the currently available evidence, bariatric surgery leads to significant improvement in NAFLD. Further research, especially by means of randomized controlled trials enrolling larger cohorts of individuals, is needed to determine the optimal procedure for this group of subjects.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although metabolic surgery was originally performed to treat hypercholesterolemia, the effects of contemporary bariatric surgery on serum lipids have not been systematically characterized. METHODS MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane databases were searched for studies with ≥ 20 obese adults undergoing bariatric surgery (Roux-en-Y gastric bypass [RYGBP], adjustable gastric banding, biliopancreatic diversion [BPD], or sleeve gastrectomy). The primary outcome was change in lipids from baseline to 1 year after surgery. The search yielded 178 studies with 25,189 subjects (preoperative body mass index 45.5 ± 4.8 kg/m(2)) and 47,779 patient-years of follow-up. RESULTS In patients undergoing any bariatric surgery, compared with baseline, there were significant reductions in total cholesterol (TC; -28.5mg/dL), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C; -22.0 mg/dL), triglycerides (-61.6 mg/dL), and a significant increase in high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (6.9 mg/dL) at 1 year (P < .00001 for all). The magnitude of this change was significantly greater than that seen in nonsurgical control patients (eg LDL-C; -22.0 mg/dL vs -4.3 mg/dL). When assessed separately, the magnitude of changes varied greatly by surgical type (Pinteraction < .00001; eg, LDL-C: BPD -42.5 mg/dL, RYGBP -24.7 mg/dL, adjustable gastric banding -8.8 mg/dL, sleeve gastrectomy -7.9 mg/dL). In the cases of adjustable gastric banding (TC and LDL-C) and sleeve gastrectomy (LDL-C), the response at 1 year following surgery was not significantly different from nonsurgical control patients. CONCLUSIONS Contemporary bariatric surgical techniques produce significant improvements in serum lipids, but changes vary widely, likely due to anatomic alterations unique to each procedure. These differences may be relevant in deciding the most appropriate technique for a given patient.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is becoming a leading cause of global liver disease that is associated with the rising prevalence of obesity worldwide. There is now increasing clinical and mechanistic evidence reporting on the metabolic and weight loss effects of bariatric surgery on improving NAFLD in obese patients. OBJECTIVES The aim of this paper was to quantify the effects of bariatric surgery on NAFLD by appraising the modulation between pre- and post-operative liver enzyme levels (as markers of liver injury) and liver histology. METHODS A systematic review of studies reporting pre-operative and post-operative liver enzymes or liver histology was done in obese patients with NAFLD undergoing bariatric surgery. Data were meta-analysed using random-effects modelling. Subgroup analysis, quality scoring and risk of bias were assessed. RESULTS Bariatric surgery is associated with a significant reduction in the weighted incidence of a number of histological features of NAFLD including steatosis (50.2 and 95 %CI of 35.5-65.0), fibrosis (11.9 and 95 %CI of 7.4-16.3 %), hepatocyte ballooning (67.7 and 95 %CI 56.9-78.5) and lobular inflammation (50.7 and 95 %CI 26.6-74.8 %). Surgery is also associated with a reduction in liver enzyme levels, with statistically significant reductions in ALT (11.36 u/l, 95 %CI 8.36-14.39), AST (3.91 u/l, 95 %CI 2.23-5.59), ALP (10.55 u/l, 95 %CI 4.40-16.70) and gamma-GT (18.39 u/l, 95 %CI 12.62-24.16). Heterogeneity in results was high. CONCLUSIONS Bariatric surgery is associated with a significant improvement in both histological and biochemical markers of NAFLD. Future studies must focus on higher levels of evidence to better identify the benefits of bariatric surgery on liver disease in order to enhance future treatment strategies in the management of NAFLD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Eligibility criteria for bariatric surgery (BS) are based on BMI and the presence of major comorbidities. Our aim was to analyze the usefulness of body adiposity determination in establishing the indication for BS. METHODS In order to analyze the cardiometabolic risk according to eligibility criteria for BS, four groups were studied. Morbidly obese patients with BMI ≥ 40 kg/m(2) (n = 360), and obese subjects with BMI ≥ 35 kg/m(2) and at least one comorbidity (n = 431), represented two groups of patients meeting original NIH criteria for BS. A third group included two cohorts of patients with a high body fat (BF)% that do not meet the original NIH eligibility criteria for BS: patients with either a BMI <35 kg/m(2) or a BMI ≥ 35 kg/m(2) without comorbidities (n = 266, NEHF). Lean subjects by BMI were the reference group (n = 140). BMI, BF% and markers of insulin sensitivity, lipid profile, and cardiovascular risk were measured. RESULTS Individuals from the NEHF group exhibited increased HbA1c (P < 0.05) and decreased insulin sensitivity evidenced by a significant reduction in QUICKI (P < 0.001). Triglyceride concentrations were similarly increased (P < 0.05) in the three groups of obese patients. Uric acid concentrations were significantly elevated (P < 0.01) to a similar extent in the obese groups. Levels of the inflammatory marker CRP and hepatic enzymes were significantly increased in the three obese groups. CONCLUSION The present study provides evidence for the existence of an adverse cardiometabolic profile in subjects currently considered to be outside traditional NIH guidelines but exhibiting a highly increased adiposity. It is concluded that body composition analysis yields valuable information to be incorporated into indication criteria for BS and that adiposity may be an independent indicator for BS.

Abstract
AIMS Obesity is associated with increased cardiovascular (CV) morbidity and mortality. Weight loss improves several risk factors for CV diseases, but anti-obesity medications and lifestyle interventions have failed to modify primary CV endpoints. This paper reviews bariatric surgery in prevention of CV diseases and CV mortality, and analyzes the possible mechanisms involved. DATA SYNTHESIS In morbidly obese patients bariatric surgery results in stable weight loss and in long-term reduction in the prevalence and incidence of obesity-related comorbidities; controlled trials have shown superiority of bariatric surgery over medical therapy in inducing significant weight loss and improvement of CV risk factors. Bariatric surgery induces several metabolic improvements (resolution of type 2 diabetes mellitus, improvement of lipid metabolism and of insulin resistance, reduction of visceral fat, of subclinical endothelial dysfunction and inflammation), and functional improvements (reduction of hypertension, of sympathetic overactivity, of left and right ventricular hypertrophy), which can explain the protective effect towards CV disease. CONCLUSIONS Reduction of CV diseases is mediated by the pleiotropic effects of weight loss through surgery. Available data do not allow conclusions on the comparative efficacy of different surgical techniques; the choice of the surgical technique for a single patient remains an open question, and it is likely that the degree of prevention of CV diseases depends, among other factors, on the baseline conditions of patients. Large prospective studies are needed to address this issue in morbidly obese patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bariatric (weight loss) surgery for obesity is considered when other treatments have failed. The effects of the available bariatric procedures compared with medical management and with each other are uncertain. This is an update of a Cochrane review first published in 2003 and most recently updated in 2009. OBJECTIVES To assess the effects of bariatric surgery for overweight and obesity, including the control of comorbidities. SEARCH METHODS Studies were obtained from searches of numerous databases, supplemented with searches of reference lists and consultation with experts in obesity research. Date of last search was November 2013. SELECTION CRITERIA Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) comparing surgical interventions with non-surgical management of obesity or overweight or comparing different surgical procedures. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS Data were extracted by one review author and checked by a second review author. Two review authors independently assessed risk of bias and evaluated overall study quality utilising the GRADE instrument. MAIN RESULTS Twenty-two trials with 1798 participants were included; sample sizes ranged from 15 to 250. Most studies followed participants for 12, 24 or 36 months; the longest follow-up was 10 years. The risk of bias across all domains of most trials was uncertain; just one was judged to have adequate allocation concealment.All seven RCTs comparing surgery with non-surgical interventions found benefits of surgery on measures of weight change at one to two years follow-up. Improvements for some aspects of health-related quality of life (QoL) (two RCTs) and diabetes (five RCTs) were also found. The overall quality of the evidence was moderate. Five studies reported data on mortality, no deaths occurred. Serious adverse events (SAEs) were reported in four studies and ranged from 0% to 37% in the surgery groups and 0% to 25% in the no surgery groups. Between 2% and 13% of participants required reoperations in the five studies that reported these data.Three RCTs found that laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (L)(RYGB) achieved significantly greater weight loss and body mass index (BMI) reduction up to five years after surgery compared with laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB). Mean end-of-study BMI was lower following LRYGB compared with LAGB: mean difference (MD) -5.2 kg/m² (95% confidence interval (CI) -6.4 to -4.0; P < 0.00001; 265 participants; 3 trials; moderate quality evidence). Evidence for QoL and comorbidities was very low quality. The LRGYB procedure resulted in greater duration of hospitalisation in two RCTs (4/3.1 versus 2/1.5 days) and a greater number of late major complications (26.1% versus 11.6%) in one RCT. In one RCT the LAGB required high rates of reoperation for band removal (9 patients, 40.9%).Open RYGB, LRYGB and laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) led to losses of weight and/or BMI but there was no consistent picture as to which procedure was better or worse in the seven included trials. MD was -0.2 kg/m² (95% CI -1.8 to 1.3); 353 participants; 6 trials; low quality evidence) in favour of LRYGB. No statistically significant differences in QoL were found (one RCT). Six RCTs reported mortality; one death occurred following LRYGB. SAEs were reported by one RCT and were higher in the LRYGB group (4.5%) than the LSG group (0.9%). Reoperations ranged from 6.7% to 24% in the LRYGB group and 3.3% to 34% in the LSG group. Effects on comorbidities, complications and additional surgical procedures were neutral, except gastro-oesophageal reflux disease improved following LRYGB (one RCT). One RCT of people with a BMI 25 to 35 and type 2 diabetes found laparoscopic mini-gastric bypass resulted in greater weight loss and improvement of diabetes compared with LSG, and had similar levels of complications.Two RCTs found that biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch (BDDS) resulted in greater weight loss than RYGB in morbidly obese patients. End-of-study mean BMI loss was greater following BDDS: MD -7.3 kg/m² (95% CI -9.3 to -5.4); P < 0.00001; 107 participants; 2 trials; moderate quality evidence). QoL was similar on most domains. In one study between 82% to 100% of participants with diabetes had a HbA1c of less than 5% three years after surgery. Reoperations were higher in the BDDS group (16.1% to 27.6%) than the LRYGB group (4.3% to 8.3%). One death occurred in the BDDS group.One RCT comparing laparoscopic duodenojejunal bypass with sleeve gastrectomy versus LRYGB found BMI, excess weight loss, and rates of remission of diabetes and hypertension were similar at 12 months follow-up (very low quality evidence). QoL, SAEs and reoperation rates were not reported. No deaths occurred in either group.One RCT comparing laparoscopic isolated sleeve gastrectomy (LISG) versus LAGB found greater improvement in weight-loss outcomes following LISG at three years follow-up (very low quality evidence). QoL, mortality and SAEs were not reported. Reoperations occurred in 20% of the LAGB group and in 10% of the LISG group.One RCT (unpublished) comparing laparoscopic gastric imbrication with LSG found no statistically significant difference in weight loss between groups (very low quality evidence). QoL and comorbidities were not reported. No deaths occurred. Two participants in the gastric imbrication group required reoperation. AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS Surgery results in greater improvement in weight loss outcomes and weight associated comorbidities compared with non-surgical interventions, regardless of the type of procedures used. When compared with each other, certain procedures resulted in greater weight loss and improvements in comorbidities than others. Outcomes were similar between RYGB and sleeve gastrectomy, and both of these procedures had better outcomes than adjustable gastric banding. For people with very high BMI, biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch resulted in greater weight loss than RYGB. Duodenojejunal bypass with sleeve gastrectomy and laparoscopic RYGB had similar outcomes, however this is based on one small trial. Isolated sleeve gastrectomy led to better weight-loss outcomes than adjustable gastric banding after three years follow-up. This was based on one trial only. Weight-related outcomes were similar between laparoscopic gastric imbrication and laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy in one trial. Across all studies adverse event rates and reoperation rates were generally poorly reported. Most trials followed participants for only one or two years, therefore the long-term effects of surgery remain unclear.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Increased plasma free fatty acids (FFAs) are considered one of the key elements in the pathogenesis of insulin resistance (IR) and type 2 diabetes (T2DM). We hypothesize that, in diabetic patients undergoing laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB), a postoperative decrease in FFA will correlate with improved insulin sensitivity (Si). METHODS A total of 30 obese [body mass index ((BMI) >35 kg/m(2)] patients with a diagnosis of T2DM were studied preoperatively and 12 months after LRYGB in a prospective cohort study. Collected data included intravenous glucose tolerance test (IVGTT), total body composition by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry and plasma levels of FFA. Si analysis from the IVGTT was estimated from minimal model analysis. Pre- and postoperative variables were compared using a paired sample t test. Relationships between changes in variables were determined with Pearson's correlation test. RESULTS Twelve months after LRYGB the study population showed a significant decrease in BMI (p = 0.001), FFA (p = 0.03), and total body fat (p = 0.03), with an increase in Si (p = 0.001). Postoperative changes in Si significantly correlated (Pearson's r = -0.53, p = 0.01) with change in total body fat, but not with changes in plasma FFA (Pearson's r = -0.22, p = 0.31). CONCLUSIONS Our study challenges the notion that IR is mediated to a significant degree by changes in plasma FFA concentration. Instead, changes in adiposity and consequently changes in adipokine release can be the key players in determining remission of T2DM after LRYGB.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Malabsorptive bariatric surgery (biliopancreatic diversion and biliointestinal bypass [BIBP]) reduces serum cholesterol levels more than restrictive surgery (adjustable gastric banding [AGB]), and this is thought to be due to greater weight loss. Our aim was to evaluate the changes of cholesterol metabolism induced by malabsorptive and restrictive surgery independent of weight loss. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS In a nonrandomized, self-selected, unblinded, active-comparator, bicenter, 6-month study, glucose metabolism (blood glucose and serum insulin levels and homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance [HOMA-IR] index) and cholesterol metabolism (absorption: serum campesterol and sitosterol levels; synthesis: serum lathosterol levels; catabolism: rate of appearance and serum concentrations of serum 7-α- and serum 27-OH-cholesterol after infusions of deuterated 7-α- and 27-OH-cholesterol in sequence) were assessed in grade 3 obesity subjects undergoing BIBP (n = 10) and AGB (n = 10). Evaluations were performed before and 6 months after surgery. RESULTS Subjects had similar values at baseline. Weight loss was similar in the two groups of subjects, and blood glucose, insulin levels, HOMA-IR, and triglycerides decreased in a similar way. In contrast, serum cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, non-HDL cholesterol, serum sitosterol, and campesterol levels decreased and lathosterol levels increased only in BIBP subjects, not in AGB subjects. A significant increase in 7-α-OH-cholesterol occurred only with BIBP; serum 27-OH-cholesterol decreased in both groups. CONCLUSIONS Malabsorptive surgery specifically affects cholesterol levels, independent of weight loss and independent of glucose metabolism and insulin resistance. Decreased sterol absorption leads to decreased cholesterol and LDL cholesterol levels, accompanied by enhanced cholesterol synthesis and enhanced cholesterol catabolism. Compared with AGB, BIBP provides greater cholesterol lowering.

Abstract
In a prospective study, indices of glucose homeostasis, lipid profile, and systemic inflammation were monitored after an aesthetic abdominoplasty, aiming to scrutinize the possible metabolic benefits for abdominal fat removal. Premenopausal females with substantial weight loss (N=40) undergoing circumferential abdominoplasty (index group, n=20) or augmentation mammoplasty with mastopexy (controls, n=20) were recruited. All of them originally underwent Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. Variables included BMI, white blood cell count, C-reactive protein, hemoglobin, total cholesterol and fractions, triglycerides, glucose, and HbA1c. Follow-up reached 20.3 ± 13.6 months for index cases and 29.5 ± 17.4 months for controls. The metabolic and inflammatory indices improved after the bariatric surgery. Subsequent monitoring indicated a stable body weight and biochemical profile in both groups. The exceptions were HDL cholesterol and C-reactive protein, which respectively increased and diminished after the abdominoplasty, consistent with an inflammatory and metabolic advantage for this operation. This is the first long-term study in a weight-stable population to point out such a pattern after abdominoplasty.

Abstract
The objective of this article is to systematically review the changes in insulin resistance after various types of bariatric surgical procedures. A Pubmed and EMBASE search for studies measuring insulin resistance before and after bariatric surgery was done and all original research articles from 1980 to present (2011) were included. Only the currently widely performed bariatric procedures were included. A meta-analysis of change in HOMA-IR was conducted, grouping studies with similar duration of follow-up. The percentage decrease in HOMA-IR at <=2 weeks, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months and >16-18 months was found to be (mean ± standard error) -33.48 ± 5.78, -46.43 ± 6.99, -38.79 ± 9.64, -58.62 ± 7.38, -44.91 ± 7.98 and -67.04 ± 10.78%, respectively. RYGB (gastric bypass) and BPD (biliopancreatic diversion) produced a significant decrease in insulin resistance at 2 weeks after surgery, while LSG (sleeve gastrectomy) was strongly trending. LSG produced an earlier decrease in insulin resistance when compared to LAGB (gastric banding). RYGB, BPD and LSG produce an early decrease in insulin resistance through yet unknown mechanisms.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Postprandial hyperlipidemia is a risk factor for atherosclerotic heart disease and is associated with the consumption of high-fat diets and obesity. Bariatric surgeries result in superior and more durable weight loss than dieting. These surgeries are also associated with multiple metabolic improvements, including reduced plasma lipid levels. We investigated whether the beneficial effects of vertical sleeve gastrectomy (VSG) on plasma lipid levels are weight independent. METHODS VSG was performed on Long-Evans rats with diet-induced obesity. Controls were sham-operated animals who were either pair-fed or ad libitum-fed. We measured fasting and postprandial levels of plasma lipid. To determine hepatic and intestinal triglyceride secretion, we injected the lipase inhibitor poloxamer 407 alone or before oral lipid gavage. (13)C-Triolein was used to estimate postprandial uptake of lipid in the intestine. RESULTS Rats that received VSG and high-fat diets had markedly lower fasting levels of plasma triglyceride, cholesterol, and phospholipid than obese and lean (pair-fed) controls that were fed high-fat diets. Rats that received VSG had a marked, weight-independent reduction in secretion of intestinal triglycerides. VSG did not alter total intestinal triglyceride levels or size of the cholesterol storage pool nor did it affect the expression of genes in the intestine that control triglyceride metabolism and synthesis. VSG did not affect fasting secretion of triglyceride, liver weight, hepatic lipid storage, or transcription of genes that regulate hepatic lipid processing. CONCLUSIONS VSG reduced postprandial levels of plasma lipid, independently of body weight. This resulted from reduced intestinal secretion of triglycerides following ingestion of a lipid meal and indicates that VSG has important effects on metabolism.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Questions about reliability of bioimpedance analysis (BIA) in morbidly obese subjects have curtailed its use in this setting, but metabolic implications might reignite the debate. In a prospective study, it was aimed to analyze anthropometric and clinical associations. METHODS Bariatric candidates (n = 94) with or without metabolic syndrome were consecutively investigated. Age was 34.9 ± 10.4 years (68.1% females), and BMI was 40.8 ± 4.6 kg m(-2) . Methods included single-frequency BIA, anthropometrics, inflammatory indices, and general biochemical profile. RESULTS Body composition results (water, fat) in females, but not in males, were entirely consistent with the literature. In both genders good association was observed with anthropometrics (BMI, waist circumference), inflammatory indices (ferritin, C-reactive protein) and general biochemical variables. Anthropometric measurements also displayed comparable associations. Multivariate tests including the two sets of measurements indicated no predominance of one method over the other, one complementing the other as metabolic marker. CONCLUSIONS BIA limitations were mostly relevant for males, not females. Despite such discrepancies, good associations with anthropometry were demonstrated for both genders. Correlations with liver enzymes, and indices of protein, carbohydrate, and lipid metabolism could be demonstrated. BIA deserves more investigations concerning liver steatosis and ongoing inflammation, and it could contribute as well, synergistically with anthropometry, to monitor weight loss, body fat shifts, and metabolic risk.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although bariatric surgery is known to exert favorable effects on dyslipidemia, few studies have systematically considered how the demographic variables might modulate the outcomes. The aim of the present study was to examine the interactive effects of gender, age, and surgery type on dyslipidimia in bariatric surgery patients at a tertiary hospital in the United States. METHODS In a retrospective review of 294 patients who had undergone laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) or laparoscopic adjustable gastric bypass (LAGB), we examined the changes in lipid profiles and antihyperlipidemic use for ≤4 years postoperatively. The data were analyzed using longitudinal mixed modeling methods, in which the effects on lipid concentrations and medication use were tested in models with gender, surgery type, age, postoperative duration, and all possible interactions entered as factors. RESULTS Significant 2-way interactions of surgery type*time were found for total cholesterol and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, gender*time for high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and age*time for triglycerides. A 3-way interaction of surgery type*age*time was noted for low-density lipoprotein cholesterol. For older patients, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol was reduced by 20% from baseline in the LRYGB group but did not lessen significantly in the LAGB group. In the younger patients, however, decreases from the preoperative concentrations were not evident in either surgery group. An interaction of surgery type*time on antihyperlipdemic medication use, in which values changed significantly from baseline was found in both groups. However, the pattern in the LRYGB patients opposed that in the LAGB patients. CONCLUSION Our results have demonstrated that bariatric surgery imparts a pronounced improvement in the blood lipid profile of recipients; however, these effects might be moderated by other factors, such as age and gender, independently of the baseline weight status of the patients.

Abstract
The differences in cholesterol metabolism after the 2 most common forms of obesity surgery, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and gastric banding (GB), have not been well characterized. In this study, effects of RYGB and GB on cholesterol absorption and synthesis were investigated. To this aim, 1-year follow-up of cholesterol metabolism in 2 nonrandomized cohorts undergoing either RYGB (n = 29; age, 45.2 +/- 7.7 years; body mass index [BMI], 46.0 +/- 6.1 kg/m(2)) or GB (n = 26; age, 45.9 +/- 8.6 years; BMI, 50.1 +/- 7.7 kg/m(2)) was performed in a university hospital center specializing in the treatment of morbid obesity. Serum markers of cholesterol synthesis (cholestenol, desmosterol, and lathosterol) and cholesterol absorption (campesterol, sitosterol, avenasterol, and cholestanol) were measured preoperatively and at follow-up and expressed as ratios to cholesterol. As expected based on observed weight loss (25% after RYGB and 17% after GB, P < .001 between groups), both operations decreased serum levels of cholesterol synthesis markers by 12% to 28% (all Ps < .001). A decrease in cholesterol absorption markers was only observed after RYGB (-26% for sitosterol) and not after GB (+16%, P = 2 x 10(-6) for difference between the groups). The difference in sitosterol ratio between the groups remained significant after adjustment for age, BMI, fasting insulin levels, and nutritional status (P = 2 x 10(-4)), indicating a specific effect related to RYGB. We conclude that decrease in cholesterol absorption is a novel beneficial effect of RYGB. Together with an improved control of blood glucose, this may contribute to a better cardiovascular risk profile after RYGB.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obesity is an increasing health problem and surgery seems to be the only treatment effective in achieving weight loss without relapse. Among bariatric techniques, many differences exist in terms of weight loss and resolution of comorbidities. Up to now, there are no prospective studies comparing long-term effects of malabsorptive vs restrictive techniques. OBJECTIVE In this study, cardiometabolic risk factors and body composition changes after malabsorptive biliointestinal bypass (BIBP) and restrictive laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) were compared during a 4-year follow-up. DESIGN Prospective, case-control and cohort study. PATIENTS In all, 80 obese subjects, matched for weight and age. Altogether, 40 patients underwent BIBP and 40 underwent LAGB. MEASUREMENTS Weight, body composition, fasting and post-loading plasma glucose and insulin, homeostatic model assessment index (HOMA-I), lipid profile, blood pressure (BP), erythrocyte sedimentation rate and fibrinogen were monitored at baseline, 12 and 48 months. RESULTS At 12 months after surgery, a significant reduction in body mass index, total fat mass (FM), trunk FM (trFM), trFM/legs FM (lFM) ratio (trFM/lFM), triglycerides, BP and inflammation markers was observed in both groups. BIBP patients showed a significant reduction in total cholesterol (Tot-C), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), whereas the LAGB group showed a significant increase of HDL-C. A further improvement of all the parameters evaluated was seen in the BIBP group at 48 months after surgery. CONCLUSIONS Both bariatric procedures exerted positive effects on cardiometabolic risk factors and on weight loss in the population studied, but on the long-term period, HOMA-I, Tot-C/HDL-C ratio and body composition improvements were more evident after BIBP. We conclude that malabsorptive BIBP seems to be more effective than LAGB in treating visceral obesity and its metabolic complications.

Abstract
Background Bariatric surgery is able to improve glucose and lipid metabolism, and cardiovascular function in morbid obesity. Aim of this study was to compare the long-term effects of malabsorptive (biliary pancreatic diversion, BPD), and restrictive (laparoscopic gastric banding, LAGB) procedures on metabolic and cardiovascular parameters, as well as on metabolic syndrome in morbidly obese patients. Methods 170 patients studied between 1989 and 2001 were called back after a mean period of 65 months. 138 patients undergoing BPD (n = 23) or LAGB (n = 78), and control patients (refusing surgery and treated with diet, n = 37) were analysed for body mass index (BMI), blood glucose, cholesterol, and triglycerides, blood pressure, heart rate, and ECG indexes (QTc, Cornell voltage-duration product, and rate-pressure-product). Results After a mean 65 months period, surgery was more effective than diet on all items under evaluation; diabetes, hypertension, and metabolic syndrome disappeared more in surgery than in control patients, and new cases appeared only in controls. BPD was more effective than LAGB on BMI, on almost all cardiovascular parameters, and on cholesterol, not on triglyceride and blood glucose. Disappearance of diabetes, hypertension, and metabolic syndrome was similar with BPD and with LAGB, and no new cases were observed. Conclusion These data indicate that BPD, likely due to a greater BMI decrease, is more effective than LAGB in improving cardiovascular parameters, and similar to LAGB on metabolic parameters, in obese patients. The greater effect on cholesterol levels is probably due to the different mechanism of action.
