Abstract
Obesity remains a significant global health challenge, with bariatric surgery remaining as one of the most effective treatments for severe obesity and its related comorbidities. This review highlights the multifaceted impact of bariatric surgery beyond mere physical restriction or nutrient malabsorption, underscoring the importance of the gut microbiome and neurohormonal signals in mediating the profound effects on weight loss and behavior modification. The various bariatric surgery procedures, such as Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and sleeve gastrectomy (SG), act through distinct mechanisms to alter the gut microbiome, subsequently impacting metabolic health, energy balance, and food reward behaviors. Emerging evidence has shown that bariatric surgery induces profound changes in the composition of the gut microbiome, notably altering the Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio and enhancing populations of beneficial bacteria such as Akkermansia. These microbiota shifts have far-reaching effects beyond gut health, influencing dopamine-mediated reward pathways in the brain and modulating the secretion and action of key gut hormones including ghrelin, leptin, GLP-1, PYY, and CCK. The resultant changes in dopamine signaling and hormone levels contribute to reduced hedonic eating, enhanced satiety, and improved metabolic outcomes. Further, post-bariatric surgical effects on satiation targets are in part mediated by metabolic byproducts of gut microbiota like short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) and bile acids, which play a pivotal role in modulating metabolism and energy expenditure and reducing obesity-associated inflammation, as well as influencing food reward pathways, potentially contributing to the regulation of body weight and reduction in hedonic eating behaviors. Overall, a better understanding of these mechanisms opens the door to developing non-surgical interventions that replicate the beneficial effects of bariatric surgery on the gut microbiome, dopamine signaling, and gut hormone regulation, offering new avenues for obesity treatment.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in patients with morbid obesity: the gut microbiota axis as a potential pathophysiology mechanism. J Gastroenterol 2024; 59:329-341. [PMID: 38265508 PMCID: PMC10959783 DOI: 10.1007/s00535-023-02075-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/09/2023] [Accepted: 12/27/2023] [Indexed: 01/25/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM Alterations in gut microbiota are associated with the pathogenesis of metabolic diseases, including metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD). The aim of this study was to evaluate gut microbiota composition and functionality in patients with morbid obesity with different degrees of MAFLD, as assessed by biopsy. SUBJECTS/METHODS 110 patients with morbid obesity were evaluated by biopsy obtained during bariatric surgery for MAFLD. Stool samples were collected prior to surgery for microbiota analysis. RESULTS Gut microbiota from patients with steatosis and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) were characterized by an enrichment in Enterobacteriaceae (an ethanol-producing bacteria), Acidaminococcus and Megasphaera and the depletion of Eggerthellaceae and Ruminococcaceae (SCFA-producing bacteria). MAFLD was also associated with enrichment of pathways related to proteinogenic amino acid degradation, succinate production, menaquinol-7 (K2-vitamin) biosynthesis, and saccharolytic and proteolytic fermentation. Basic histological hepatic alterations (steatosis, necroinflammatory activity, or fibrosis) were associated with specific changes in microbiota patterns. Overall, the core microbiome related to basic histological alterations in MAFLD showed an increase in Enterobacteriaceae and a decrease in Ruminococcaceae. Specifically, Escherichia coli was associated with steatosis and necroinflammatory activity, whilst Escherichia-shigella was associated with fibrosis and necroinflammatory activity. CONCLUSIONS We established a link between gut microbiota alterations and histological injury in liver diagnosis using biopsy. Harmful products such as ethanol or succinate may be involved in the pathogenesis and progression of MAFLD. Thus, these alterations in gut microbiota patterns and their possible metabolic pathways could add information to the classical predictors of MAFLD severity and suggest novel metabolic targets.

Abstract
Aims We aimed to investigate changes of fecal short chain fatty acids (SCFAs) and their association with metabolic benefits after sleeve gastrectomy (SG). Specifically, whether pre-surgery SCFAs modify surgical therapeutic effects was determined. Methods 62 participants with measurements of fecal SCFAs and metabolic indices before and 1, 3, 6 months after SG were included. Changes of fecal SCFAs and their association with post-surgery metabolic benefits were calculated. Then, participants were stratified by medians of pre-surgery fecal SCFAs and modification effects of pre-surgery fecal SCFAs on surgical therapeutic effects were investigated, through calculating interaction of group by surgery. Results Fecal SCFAs were markedly changed by SG. Changes of propionate and acetate were positively correlated with serum triglycerides and total cholesterol, respectively. Notably, high pre-surgery fecal hexanoate group showed a better effect of SG treatment on lowering body weight (P=0.01), BMI (P=0.041) and serum triglycerides (P=0.031), and low pre-surgery fecal butyrate had a better effect of SG on lowering ALT (P=0.003) and AST (P=0.019). Conclusion Fecal SCFAs were changed and correlated with lipid profiles improvement after SG. Pre-surgery fecal hexanoate and butyrate were potential modifiers impacting metabolic benefits of SG.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The intestinal microbiota plays an important role in the etiology of obesity. Sleeve gastrectomy (SG) is a frequently performed and effective therapy for morbid obesity. OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of sleeve gastrectomy on the fecal microbiota of individuals with morbid obesity and to examine whether shifts in microbiota composition are associated with markers of inflammation and intestinal barrier function. METHODS Fecal and blood samples of healthy individuals (n = 27) and morbidly obese individuals pre-SG (n = 24), and at 2 months (n = 13) and 6 months post-SG (n = 9) were collected. The 16SrRNA gene was sequenced to assess microbiota composition. Fecal calprotectin, plasma inflammatory markers and intestinal permeability markers (multi-sugar test) were determined. RESULTS Fecal microbiota composition between morbidly obese and lean individuals was significantly different. The fecal microbiota composition changed significantly 2 and 6 months post-SG (p = 0.008) compared to pre-SG but not towards a more lean profile. The post-SG microbiota profile was characterized by an increase in facultative anaerobic bacteria, characteristic for the upper gastrointestinal tract. No correlations were found between inflammatory markers, intestinal permeability and microbial profile changes. CONCLUSIONS Fecal microbiota composition in morbidly obese individuals changed significantly following SG. This change might be explained by functional changes induced by the SG procedure.

Abstract
PURPOSE Suboptimal response is one of the major problems for bariatric surgery, and constructing an individualized model for predicting outcomes of bariatric surgery is essential. Thus, the aim of this study is to develop a nomogram to predict the response to bariatric surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS 509 patients who underwent bariatric surgery between 2019 to 2020 from 6 centers were retrieved and assessed. Multiple Imputation was used to replace missing data. Patients with %TWL ≥ 20% 1 year after bariatric surgery were classified as patients with optimal response, while the others were patients with suboptimal response. A web-based nomogram was constructed and validated. ROC curve and calibration curve were used to determine the predictive ability of our model. RESULTS 56 (11.0%) patients were classified as patients with suboptimal response, and they showed advanced age, lower pre-operative BMI, smaller waist circumference, higher fasting glucose, higher HbA1c and lower fasting insulin compared to patients with optimal response. A forward likelihood ratio logistic regression analysis indicated that age (OR = 0.943, 95% CI: 0.915-0.971, p < 0.001), pre-operative BMI (OR = 1.109, 95% CI: 1.002-1.228, p = 0.046) and waist circumference (OR = 1.043, 95% CI: 1.000-1.088, p = 0.048) were essential factors contributing to the response to bariatric surgery. Lastly, a web-based nomogram was constructed to predict the response to bariatric surgery and demonstrated an AUC of 0.829 and 0.798 upon internal and external validation. CONCLUSION Age, BMI and fasting glucose were proved to be essential factors influencing the response to bariatric surgery. The nomogram constructed in this study demonstrated good adaptivity.

Abstract
The complex and multifactorial etiology of obesity creates challenges for its effective long-term management. Increasingly, the gut microbiome is reported to play a key role in the maintenance of host health and wellbeing, with its dysregulation associated with chronic diseases such as obesity. The gut microbiome is hypothesized to contribute to obesity development and pathogenesis via several pathways involving food digestion, energy harvest and storage, production of metabolites influencing satiety, maintenance of gut barrier integrity, and bile acid metabolism. Moreover, the gut microbiome likely contributes to the metabolic, inflammatory, and satiety benefits and sustained weight-loss effects following bariatric procedures such as sleeve gastrectomy. While the field of gut microbiome research in relation to obesity and sleeve gastrectomy outcomes is largely in its infancy, the gut microbiome nonetheless holds great potential for understanding some of the mechanisms behind sleeve gastrectomy outcomes as well as for optimizing post-surgery benefits. This review will explore the current literature within the field as well as discuss the current limitations, including the small sample size, variability in methodological approaches, and lack of associative data, which need to be addressed in future studies.

Abstract
Obesity is a multifactorial disease that continues to increase in prevalence worldwide. Emerging evidence has shown that the development of obesity may be influenced by taxonomic shifts in gut microbiota in response to the consumption of dietary fats. Further, these alterations in gut microbiota have been shown to promote important changes in satiation signals including gut hormones (leptin, ghrelin, GLP-1, peptide YY and CCK) and orexigenic and anorexigenic neuropeptides (AgRP, NPY, POMC, CART) that influence hyperphagia and therefore obesity. In this review, we highlight mechanisms by which gut microbiota can influence these satiation signals both locally in the gastrointestinal tract and via microbiota-gut-brain communication. Then, we describe the effects of dietary interventions and associated changes in gut microbiota on satiety signals through microbiota-dependent mechanisms. Lastly, we present microbiota optimizing therapies including prebiotics, probiotics, synbiotics and weight loss surgery that can help restore beneficial gut microbiota by enhancing satiety signals to reduce hyperphagia and subsequent obesity. Overall, a better understanding of the mechanisms by which dietary fats induce taxonomical shifts in gut microbiota and their impact on satiation signaling pathways will help develop more targeted therapeutic interventions in delaying the onset of obesity and in furthering its treatment.

Abstract
Convincing evidence has suggested the health potentials of oolong tea (OT) on gut microbiota homeostasis; however, limited population-based studies exist regarding the effect of OT consumption on human gut microbial and metabolic profile. This pilot study explored gut microbial and metabolic changes in healthy adults with a 3-week oolong tea intake. Our findings showed that OT treatment significantly altered gut microbial diversity (Shannon index, 5.4±0.1 vs. 5.7±0.1 pre- and post-OT treatment), reorganized gut microbiota composition, enriched Bacteroides and Prevotella, decreased Megamonas, and improved gastrointestinal function. Also, gut microbes from overweight subjects with BMI >23.9 exhibited greater responses to OT treatment compared with normal-weight counterparts. Metabolomic analysis identified OT intake-induced 23 differential metabolites and 10 enriched metabolic pathways. This study may provide new insights into the association among OT intervention, host gut microbiome and metabolic profile, and improve the knowledge of clinical strategies and personalized nutrition.

The impact of Hafnia alvei HA4597™ on weight loss and glycaemic control after bariatric surgery - study protocol for a triple-blinded, blocked randomized, 12-month, parallel-group, placebo-controlled clinical trial. Trials 2023; 24:362. [PMID: 37248499 PMCID: PMC10226263 DOI: 10.1186/s13063-023-07383-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/31/2022] [Accepted: 05/16/2023] [Indexed: 05/31/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Subjects with obesity exhibit changes in gut microbiota composition and function (i.e. dysbiosis) that contribute to metabolic dysfunction, including appetite impairment. Although bariatric surgery is an effective treatment for obesity with a great impact on weight loss, some subjects show weight regain due to increased energy intake after the surgery. This surgery involves gut microbiota changes that promote appetite control, but it seems insufficient to completely restore the obesity-associated dysbiosis - a possible contributor for weight regain. Thus, modulating gut microbiota with probiotics that could improve appetite regulation as a complementary approach to post-operative diet (i.e. Hafnia alvei HA4597™), may accentuate post-surgery weight loss and insulin sensitivity. METHODS This is a protocol of a triple-blinded, blocked-randomized, parallel-group, placebo-controlled clinical trial designed to determine the effect of Hafnia alvei HA4597™ supplementation on weight loss and glycaemic control 1 year after bariatric surgery. Patients of Hospital CUF Tejo, Lisbon, that undergo Roux-en-Y gastric bypass are invited to participate in this study. Men and women between 18 and 65 years old, with a BMI ≥ 35 kg/m2 and at least one severe obesity-related comorbidity, or with a BMI ≥ 40 kg/m2, and who are willing to take 2 capsules of Hafnia alvei HA4597™ probiotic supplements (equivalent to 5 × 107 CFU) vs. placebo per day for 90 days are included in this study. Assessments are carried out at baseline, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months after the surgery. Loss of weight in excess and glycated haemoglobin are considered primary outcomes. In addition, changes in other metabolic and inflammatory outcomes, gut microbiota composition and metabolites, as well as gastrointestinal quality of life are also being assessed during the trial. DISCUSSION The evidence obtained in this study will provide relevant information regarding the profile of the intestinal microbiota of individuals with severe obesity and the identification of the risk/benefit ratio of the use of Hafnia alvei HA4597™ as an adjunctive treatment in the maintenance of metabolic and weight control one year after the surgical intervention. TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov NCT05170867. Registered on 28 December 2021.

Abstract
Ruminococcus gnavus was first identified in 1974 as a strict anaerobe in the gut of healthy individuals, and for several decades, its study has been limited to specific enzymes or bacteriocins. With the advent of metagenomics, R. gnavus has been associated both positively and negatively with an increasing number of intestinal and extraintestinal diseases from inflammatory bowel diseases to neurological disorders. This prompted renewed interest in understanding the adaptation mechanisms of R. gnavus to the gut, and the molecular mediators affecting its association with health and disease. From ca. 250 publications citing R. gnavus since 1990, 94% were published in the last 10 years. In this review, we describe the biological characterization of R. gnavus, its occurrence in the infant and adult gut microbiota and the factors influencing its colonization of the gastrointestinal tract; we also discuss the current state of our knowledge on its role in host health and disease. We highlight gaps in knowledge and discuss the hypothesis that differential health outcomes associated with R. gnavus in the gut are strain and niche specific.

Abstract
Obesity is caused by a long-term difference between energy intake and expenditure - an imbalance that is seemingly easily restored by increasing exercise and reducing caloric consumption. However, as simple as this solution appears, for many people, losing excess weight is difficult to achieve and even more difficult to maintain. The reason for this difficulty is that energy intake and expenditure, and by extension body weight, are regulated through complex hormonal, neural and metabolic mechanisms that are under the influence of many environmental factors and internal responses. Adding to this complexity, the microorganisms (microbes) that comprise the gut microbiota exert direct effects on the digestion, absorption and metabolism of food. Furthermore, the gut microbiota exerts a miscellany of protective, structural and metabolic effects both on the intestinal milieu and peripheral tissues, thus affecting body weight by modulating metabolism, appetite, bile acid metabolism, and the hormonal and immune systems. In this Review, we outline historical and recent advances in understanding how the gut microbiota is involved in regulating body weight homeostasis. We also discuss the opportunities, limitations and challenges of using gut microbiota-related approaches as a means to achieve and maintain a healthy body weight.

Abstract
Obesity has reached epidemic proportions in the United States, but little is known about the mechanisms of weight gain and weight loss. Integration of omics data is becoming a popular tool to increase understanding in such complex phenotypes. Biomarkers come in abundance, but small sample size remains a serious limitation in clinical trials. In the present study, we developed a strategy to screen predictors from a multiomics, high-dimensional, and longitudinal dataset from a small cohort of 10 women with obesity who were provided an identical very-low calorie diet. Our proposal explores the combinatorial space of potential predictors from transcriptomics, microbiome, metabolome, fecal bile acids, and clinical data with the application of the first-order Spearman partial correlation coefficient. Two statistics are proposed for screening predictors, the partial association score, and the persistent significance. We applied our strategy to predict rates of weight loss in our sample of participants in a hospital metabolic facility. Our method reduced an initial set of 42,000 biomarker candidates to 61 robust predictors. The results show baseline fecal bile acids and regulation in RT-polymerase chain reaction as the most predictive data sources in forecasting the rate of weight-loss. In summary, the present study proposes a strategy based on nonparametric statistics for ranking and screening predictors of weight loss from a multiomics study. The proposed biomarker screening strategy warrants further translational clinical investigation in obesity and other complex clinical phenotypes.
