Blood methylation pattern reflects epigenetic remodelling in adipose tissue after bariatric surgery. EBioMedicine 2024; 106:105242. [PMID: 39002385 DOI: 10.1016/j.ebiom.2024.105242] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/31/2024] [Revised: 06/27/2024] [Accepted: 06/28/2024] [Indexed: 07/15/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Studies on DNA methylation following bariatric surgery have primarily focused on blood cells, while it is unclear to which extend it may reflect DNA methylation profiles in specific metabolically relevant organs such as adipose tissue. Here, we investigated whether adipose tissue depots specific methylation changes after bariatric surgery are mirrored in blood. METHODS Using Illumina 850K EPIC technology, we analysed genome-wide DNA methylation in paired blood, subcutaneous and omental visceral AT (SAT/OVAT) samples from nine individuals (N = 6 female) with severe obesity pre- and post-surgery. FINDINGS The numbers and effect sizes of differentially methylated regions (DMRs) post-bariatric surgery were more pronounced in AT (SAT: 12,865 DMRs from -11.5 to 10.8%; OVAT: 14,632 DMRs from -13.7 to 12.8%) than in blood (9267 DMRs from -8.8 to 7.7%). Cross-tissue DMRs implicated immune-related genes. Among them, 49 regions could be validated with similar methylation changes in blood from independent individuals. Fourteen DMRs correlated with differentially expressed genes in AT post bariatric surgery, including downregulation of PIK3AP1 in both SAT and OVAT. DNA methylation age acceleration was significantly higher in AT compared to blood, but remained unaffected after surgery. INTERPRETATION Concurrent methylation pattern changes in blood and AT, particularly in immune-related genes, suggest blood DNA methylation mirrors AT's inflammatory state post-bariatric surgery.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene (DDE), an obesogen accumulating in adipose tissue, is released into circulation with weight loss, although its impact is underexplored among adolescents. We tested the association using an integrative translational approach of epidemiological analysis among adolescents with obesity and in vitro measures exploring the impact of DDE on adipogenesis via preadipocytes. METHODS We included 63 participants from the Teen-Longitudinal Assessment of Bariatric Surgery (Teen-LABS) cohort. We assessed 4,4'-DDE in visceral adipose tissue at surgery and BMI and waist circumference at surgery and 0.5, 1, 3, and 5 years after. We conducted longitudinal analysis to estimate the interaction on weight loss between DDE and time since surgery. In vitro analysis quantified adipogenic differentiation in commercial human preadipocytes exposed to 4,4'-DDE via fluorescent staining and imaging. RESULTS A dose-response relationship was observed, with the low-exposure group having a greater reduction in BMI during the first year compared to higher-exposure groups and showing smaller regains compared to higher-exposure groups after the first year. In vitro analysis of preadipocytes treated with 4,4'-DDE during adipogenic differentiation for 12 days showed a concentration-dependent increase in lipid accumulation. CONCLUSIONS DDE could contribute to weight trajectory among adolescents undergoing bariatric surgery, potentially mediated via promoted adipogenesis in preadipocytes.

Abstract
The effects of bile acids (BAs) on liver, enteroendocrine function, small intestine, and brown adipose tissue have been described extensively. Outside the liver, BAs in the peripheral circulation system represent a specific but underappreciated physiological compartment. We discuss how systemic BAs can be regarded as specific steroidal hormones that act on white adipocytes, and suggest the name 'bilokines' ('bile hormones') for the specific FXR/TGR5 receptor interaction in adipocytes. Some BAs and their agonists regulate adipocyte differentiation, lipid accumulation, hypoxia, autophagy, adipokine and cytokine secretion, insulin signaling, and glucose uptake. BA signaling could provide a new therapeutic avenue for adipoflammation and metaflammation in visceral obesity, the causal mechanisms underlying insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D).

Abstract
Obesity is a complex, multifactorial and chronic disease. Bariatric surgery is a safe and effective treatment intervention for obesity and obesity-related diseases. However, weight loss after surgery can be highly heterogeneous and is not entirely predictable, particularly in the long-term after intervention. In this review, we present and discuss the available data on patient-related and procedure-related factors that were previously appointed as putative predictors of bariatric surgery outcomes. In addition, we present a critical appraisal of the available evidence on which factors could be taken into account when recommending and deciding which bariatric procedure to perform. Several patient-related features were identified as having a potential impact on weight loss after bariatric surgery, including age, gender, anthropometrics, obesity co-morbidities, eating behavior, genetic background, circulating biomarkers (microRNAs, metabolites and hormones), psychological and socioeconomic factors. However, none of these factors are sufficiently robust to be used as predictive factors. Overall, there is no doubt that before we long for precision medicine, there is the unmet need for a better understanding of the socio-biological drivers of weight gain, weight loss failure and weight-regain after bariatric interventions. Machine learning models targeting preoperative factors and effectiveness measurements of specific bariatric surgery interventions, would enable a more precise identification of the causal links between determinants of weight gain and weight loss. Artificial intelligence algorithms to be used in clinical practice to predict the response to bariatric surgery interventions could then be created, which would ultimately allow to move forward into precision medicine in bariatric surgery prescription.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Observational studies have shown that visceral adipose tissue (VAT) can increase the risk of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). However, the causality of this association remains unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the causal association between VAT and NAFLD. DESIGN We obtained single-nucleotide polymorphisms strongly associated with VAT (n = 325,153) from large-scale genome-wide association studies. Summary-level data for NAFLD (2275 cases and 375,002 controls) was available from the FinnGen consortium. We applied two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) to determine the causal association between VAT and NAFLD. The random-effects inverse-variance weighted (IVW) method was used as the main MR approach, with alternate methods including the weighted median (WM) approach and MR-Egger regression. In addition, we conducted sensitivity analyses to assess the robustness of MR analyses. RESULTS Genetically predicted higher VAT mass is causally associated with a higher risk of NAFLD. The three analysis results of MR were as follows: IVW (β = 0.665, odds ratio [OR] = 1.944, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.482-2.550, p = 1.58e-06], WM (β = 0.615, OR = 1.849, 95% CI = 1.272-2.689, p = 1.29e-03), and MR-Egger (β = 1.250, OR = 3.490, 95% CI = 1.522-7.998, p = 3.52e-03). In the sensitivity analysis, the data showed heterogeneity (p < 0.05) but no pleiotropy (p = 0.145). CONCLUSION This study provided genetic evidence that higher VAT mass causally associated with a higher risk of NAFLD. The amount of VAT could be reduced using a therapeutic strategy for managing NAFLD.

Abstract
The ketogenic diet (KD) is, nowadays, considered an interesting nutritional approach for weight loss and improvement in insulin resistance. Nevertheless, most of the studies available in the literature do not allow a clear distinction between its effects on insulin sensitivity per se, and the effects of weight loss induced by KDs on insulin sensitivity. In this review, we discuss the scientific evidence on the direct and weight loss mediated effects of KDs on glycemic status in humans, describing the KD's biochemical background and the underlying mechanisms.

Abstract
Obesity and associated metabolic dysfunction are on the rise in the United States and around the world. Metabolic dysfunction often leads to chronic disease, including cancer. Recent evidence suggests that weight loss among individuals with obesity may decrease cancer risk. Metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) leads to greater maximum and sustained weight loss than nonsurgical dietary strategies and demonstrates the most convincing evidence that weight loss lowers cancer risk. Caloric restriction diets combined with GLP-1 receptor agonists demonstrate weight loss intermediate between MBS and other nonsurgical diet strategies so long as individuals consistently take the medication. Weight regain after initial loss is a major problem with all weight loss strategies. To better prevent cancer in individuals with obesity, we need to individualize weight loss strategies, determining what strategy works for a given individual and how to implement it. We need to learn (1) what an individual's impediments to initial and sustained weight loss are; (2) what the optimal weight loss strategy, be it diet modification, diet modification + medication, or MBS followed by diet modification, is; (3) how exercise(s) should be incorporated into weight loss strategies; (4) where medications fit into the treatment strategy of individuals with obesity; and (5) what the mechanisms driving the influence of MBS on cancer risk are. We also need to (6) explore expanding the eligibility of MBS to individuals with a body mass index <35 kg/m2. Answers to these questions require a better understanding of how MBS impacts cancer risk, including in which groups (women versus men, which racial and ethnic groups, which cancers, which MBS procedure) MBS works best to reduce risk. The National Cancer Institute, through new funding opportunities, hopes to advance our understanding of how obesity drives cancer risk and how individuals with obesity can prevent cancer development and, among those with cancer, prevent disease recurrence.

Abstract
The comprehensive anabolic effects of insulin throughout the body, in addition to the control of glycemia, include ensuring lipid homeostasis and anti-inflammatory modulation, especially in adipose tissue (AT). The prevalence of obesity, defined as a body mass index (BMI) ≥ 30 kg/m2, has been increasing worldwide on a pandemic scale with accompanying syndemic health problems, including glucose intolerance, insulin resistance (IR), and diabetes. Impaired tissue sensitivity to insulin or IR paradoxically leads to diseases with an inflammatory component despite hyperinsulinemia. Therefore, an excess of visceral AT in obesity initiates chronic low-grade inflammatory conditions that interfere with insulin signaling via insulin receptors (INSRs). Moreover, in response to IR, hyperglycemia itself stimulates a primarily defensive inflammatory response associated with the subsequent release of numerous inflammatory cytokines and a real threat of organ function deterioration. In this review, all components of this vicious cycle are characterized with particular emphasis on the interplay between insulin signaling and both the innate and adaptive immune responses related to obesity. Increased visceral AT accumulation in obesity should be considered the main environmental factor responsible for the disruption in the epigenetic regulatory mechanisms in the immune system, resulting in autoimmunity and inflammation.

Abstract
PURPOSE In the last 20 years, bariatric surgery has achieved an important role in translational and clinical research because of obesity comorbidities. Initially, a tool to lose weight, bariatric surgery now has been shown to be involved in several metabolic pathways. METHODS We conducted a narrative review discussing the underlying mechanisms that could explain the impact of bariatric surgery and the relationship between obesity and adipose tissue, T2D, gut microbiota, and NAFLD. RESULTS Bariatric surgery has an impact in the relation between obesity and type 2 diabetes, but in addition it induces the white-to-brown adipocyte trans-differentiation, by enhancing thermogenesis. Another issue is the connection of bariatric surgery with the gut microbiota and its role in the complex mechanism underlying weight gain. CONCLUSION Bariatric surgery modifies gut microbiota, and these modifications influence lipid metabolism, leading to improvement of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.

Abstract
The main roles of adipose tissue include triglycerides storage and adipokine secretion, which regulate energy balance and inflammation status. In obesity, adipocyte dysfunction leads to proinflammatory cytokine production and insulin resistance. Bariatric surgery is the most effective treatment for obesity, the gold-standard technique being Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). Since metabolic improvements after RYGB are clear, a better understanding of adipose tissue molecular modifications could be derived from this study. Thus, the aim of this systematic review was to find differentially expressed genes in subcutaneous adipose tissue of lean, obese and post-RYGB (distinct timepoints). To address this objective, publications from 2015-2022 reporting gene expression (candidate genes or transcriptomic approach) of subcutaneous adipose tissue from lean and obese individuals before and after RGYB were searched in PubMed, Elsevier, and Springer Link. Excluded publications were reviews, studies analyzing serum, other types of tissues, or bariatric procedures. A risk-of-bias summary was created for each paper using Robvis, to finally include 17 studies. Differentially expressed genes in post-RYGB vs. obese and lean vs. obese were obtained and the intersection among these groups was used for analysis and gene classification by metabolic pathway. Results showed that the lean state as well as the post-RYGB is similar in terms of increased expression of insulin-sensitizing molecules, inducing lipogenesis over lipolysis and downregulating leukocyte activation, cytokine production and other factors that promote inflammation. Thus, massive weight loss and metabolic improvements after RYGB are accompanied by gene expression modifications reverting the "adipocyte dysfunction" phenomenon observed in obesity conditions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Both obesity and chronic diverticular disease (DD) are on the rise. Understanding surgical outcomes for patients with obesity undergoing colectomy for DD is imperative to improve care and minimize complications. Our objective was to investigate the impact of obesity on outcomes after elective colectomy specifically for chronic DD. METHODS Using the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database from 2012 to 2018, patients who underwent elective colectomy for chronic DD were grouped into four body mass index categories. Baseline characteristics, surgical approach and procedure, and 30-day morbidity and mortality were assessed. RESULTS Of 24,559 patients, 21.7% were of normal weight, 35.8% were overweight, 35.9% were obese, and 6.6% were severely obese. Patients with severe obesity were younger, more functionally dependent, and had more comorbidities (all P [Formula: see text] 0.0001). Patients with severe obesity were more likely to have unplanned conversion to open surgery from laparoscopic and robotic approaches (AOR 2.15, 95% CI 1.24-3.70). Obesity class did not significantly affect the type of surgical procedure patients underwent (Hartmann's, colectomy with anastomosis and diversion, or colectomy with primary anastomosis). There were increased odds of any perioperative complications (AOR 1.43, 95% CI 1.19-1.71) and non-home discharge (AOR 2.39, 95% CI 1.59-3.57) in patients with severe obesity compared to normal weight patients. CONCLUSIONS Obesity is associated with poorer outcomes in patients undergoing elective colectomy for chronic DD. Futures studies to examine the impact of preemptive weight loss to improve outcomes after elective colectomy for chronic sequelae of DD are needed.

Abstract
Gut microbes share a symbiotic relationship with humans and perform several metabolic and physiological functions essential for human survival. It has been established in several scientific studies that obesity and other metabolic complications are always associated with disturbed gut microbiota profile, also called gut dysbiosis. In recent years, bariatric surgery has become a treatment of choice for weight loss, and it forms an important part of obesity management strategies across the globe. Interestingly, bariatric surgery has been shown to alter gut microbiota profile and synthesize short-chain fatty acids by gut microbes. In other words, gut microbes play a crucial role in better clinical outcomes associated with bariatric surgery. In addition, gut microbes are important in reducing weight and lowering the adverse events post-bariatric surgery. Therefore, several prebiotics, probiotics and postbiotics are recommended for patients who underwent bariatric surgery procedures for better clinical outcomes. The present review aims to understand the possible association between gut microbes and bariatric surgery and present scientific evidence showing the beneficial role of gut microbes in improving therapeutic outcomes of bariatric surgery.

Changes in mechanical properties of adipose tissue after bariatric surgery driven by extracellular matrix remodelling and neovascularization are associated with metabolic improvements. Acta Biomater 2022; 141:264-279.

Abstract
Biomechanical properties of adipose tissue (AT) are closely involved in the development of obesity-associated comorbidities. Bariatric surgery (BS) constitutes the most effective option for a sustained weight loss in addition to improving obesity-associated metabolic diseases including type 2 diabetes (T2D). We aimed to determine the impact of weight loss achieved by BS and caloric restriction (CR) on the biomechanical properties of AT. BS but not CR changed the biomechanical properties of epididymal white AT (EWAT) from a diet-induced obesity rat model, which were associated with metabolic improvements. We found decreased gene expression levels of collagens and Lox together with increased elastin and Mmps mRNA levels in EWAT after BS, which were also associated with the biomechanical properties. Moreover, an increased blood vessel density was observed in EWAT after surgery, confirmed by an upregulation of Acta2 and Antxr1 gene expression levels, which was also correlated with the biomechanical properties. Visceral AT from patients with obesity showed increased stiffness after tensile tests compared to the EWAT from the animal model. This study uncovers new insights into EWAT adaptation after BS with decreased collagen crosslink and synthesis as well as an increased degradation together with enhanced blood vessel density providing, simultaneously, higher stiffness and more ductility. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Biomechanical properties of the adipose tissue (AT) are closely involved in the development of obesity-associated comorbidities. In this study, we show for the first time that biomechanical properties of AT determined by E, UTS and strain at UTS are decreased in obesity, being increased after bariatric surgery by the promotion of ECM remodelling and neovascularization. Moreover, these changes in biomechanical properties are associated with improvements in metabolic homeostasis. Consistently, a better characterization of the plasticity and biomechanical properties of the AT after bariatric surgery opens up a new field for the development of innovative strategies for the reduction of fibrosis and inflammation in AT as well as to better understand obesity and its associated comorbidities.

Abstract
PURPOSE Obesity, a low-grade systemic inflammatory disease, causes inflammation in metabolic tissues. Galectin-3(Gal-3) is one of the lectin molecules involved in inflammatory processes. We evaluated the possible relationship between Gal-3 level and the metabolic inflammatory process before and after obesity surgery. METHODS One hundred participants were included in the study and classified as normal weight, overweight, Class I, II, and III obese. Class III obese group underwent bariatric surgery and evaluated in the 3rd and 6th months after surgery. Glucose, insulin, glycated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP), Gal-3, interleukin (IL)-6, IL-10, adiponectin, and leptin levels were determined. RESULTS Gal-3 levels were higher in Class III obese compared to the normal weight group. Postoperative leptin and hsCRP levels were decreased significantly, but the decrease in IL-6 and Gal-3 levels were not significant. Postoperative increased adiponectin and IL-10 levels were significant. Gal-3 was found significantly higher in insulin resistant group. The correlation between Gal-3 with BMI, adiponectin, leptin, hsCRP levels, and HOMA-IR was found weak. CONCLUSION These findings might support the fact that Gal-3 is one of the molecules involved in the linkage between insulin resistance and meta-inflammation in morbid obese.

Abstract
Metabolic surgery results in diverse glycemic status in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D), including hyperglycemia without remission, significant amelioration of hyperglycemia with partial remission, complete restoration of euglycemia, or with prolonged remission, hyperglycemia recurrence in relapses after remission, or post-bariatric hypoglycemia. Unfortunately, it is not known how metabolic surgery leads to this diverse consequence. Here, we discuss the diversity of glycemic status associated with metabolic surgery and the potential mechanisms of T2D remission. We also highlight the relationship between the change in low-grade inflammation and T2D remission after metabolic surgery. We hypothesize that the level of inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines controls the efficacy of metabolic surgery in patients with T2D. This hypothesis may provide further insight into the mechanism of the beneficial effects of metabolic surgery patients with T2D.

Abstract
Obesity is a feature of metabolic syndrome with chronic inflammation in obese subjects, characterized by adipose tissue (AT) expansion, proinflammatory factor overexpression, and macrophage infiltration. Autophagy modulates inflammation in the enlargement of AT as an essential step for maintaining the balance in energy metabolism and waste elimination. Signaling originating from dysfunctional AT, such as AT containing hypertrophic adipocytes and surrounding macrophages, activates NOD-like receptor family 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome. There are interactions about altered autophagy and NLRP3 inflammasome activation during the progress in obesity. We summarize the current studies and potential mechanisms associated with autophagy and NLRP3 inflammasome in AT inflammation and aim to provide further evidence for research on obesity and obesity-related complications.

Abstract
Bariatric surgery (BS) procedures are actually the most effective intervention to help subjects with severe obesity achieve significant and sustained weight loss. White adipose tissue (WAT) is increasingly recognized as the largest endocrine organ. Unhealthy WAT expansion through adipocyte hypertrophy has pleiotropic effects on adipocyte function and promotes obesity-associated metabolic complications. WAT dysfunction in obesity encompasses an altered adipokine secretome, unresolved inflammation, dysregulated autophagy, inappropriate extracellular matrix remodeling and insufficient angiogenic potential. In the last 10 years, accumulating evidence suggests that BS can improve the WAT function beyond reducing the fat depot sizes. The causal relationships between improved WAT function and the health benefits of BS merits further investigation. This review summarizes the current knowledge on the short-, medium- and long-term outcomes of BS on the WAT composition and function.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Following bariatric and metabolic surgery (BMS), patients may develop persistent cytopenia(s) despite adequate micronutrient levels. A comprehensive analysis of laboratory and hematopathologic findings in BMS patients with unexplained cytopenia(s) has not been previously described. METHODS We reviewed the clinical and laboratory data, bone marrow histology, and used ancillary testing to characterize patients with a history of BMS who had subsequent bone marrow biopsies due to unexplained cytopenia(s). RESULTS All patients had anemia and 59% (23/39) had additional cytopenias. Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and clonal cytopenia of unknown significance (CCUS) were diagnosed in 8% (3/39) and 10% (4/39), respectively. Remaining cases were classified as idiopathic cytopenia of unknown significance (ICUS) with anemia alone (ICUS-A) in 47% (15/32) or multiple cytopenias (ICUS-PAN) in 53% (17/32). Time since surgery, age, or amount of weight loss was not associated with a specific diagnosis. No patient was vitamin B12 or folate deficient. However, vitamin B6 and zinc were decreased in 47% (5/11) and 29% (9/29), respectively. Examination of bone marrow aspirates revealed slight erythroid dyspoiesis affecting <10% of precursors in 60% (9/15) ICUS-A and 59% (10/17) ICUS-PAN. CONCLUSION Bone marrow findings in patients with unexplained cytopenia(s) after BMS are not specific in the majority of cases, and caution is advised when interpreting dyserythropoiesis. Levels of micronutrients and vitamins other than iron, folate and vitamin B12 are frequently disturbed in this patient cohort and warrant correction and close clinical follow-up.

Abstract
CONTEXT Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery (RYGB) markedly improves glycemia in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D), but underlying mechanisms and changes over time are incompletely understood. OBJECTIVE Integrated assessment of neuroendocrine and metabolic changes over time in T2D patients undergoing RYGB. DESIGN AND SETTING Follow-up of single-center randomized study. PATIENTS Thirteen patients with obesity and T2D compared to 22 healthy subjects. INTERVENTIONS Blood chemistry, adipose biopsies, and heart rate variability were obtained before and 4, 24, and 104 weeks post-RYGB. RESULTS After RYGB, glucose-lowering drugs were discontinued and hemoglobin A1c fell from mean 55 to 41 mmol/mol by 104 weeks (P < 0.001). At 4 weeks, morning cortisol (P < 0.05) and adrenocorticotropin (P = 0.09) were reduced by 20%. Parasympathetic nerve activity (heart rate variability derived) increased at 4 weeks (P < 0.05) and peaked at 24 weeks (P < 0.01). C-reactive protein (CRP) and white blood cells were rapidly reduced (P < 0.01). At 104 weeks, basal and insulin-stimulated adipocyte glucose uptake increased by 3-fold vs baseline and expression of genes involved in glucose transport, fatty acid oxidation, and adipogenesis was upregulated (P < 0.01). Adipocyte volume was reduced by 4 weeks and more markedly at 104 weeks, by about 40% vs baseline (P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS We propose this order of events: (1) rapid glucose lowering (days); (2) attenuated cortisol axis activity and inflammation and increased parasympathetic tone (weeks); and (3) body fat and weight loss, increased adipose glucose uptake, and whole-body insulin sensitivity (months-years; similar to healthy controls). Thus, neuroendocrine pathways can partly mediate early glycemic improvement after RYGB, and adipose factors may promote long-term insulin sensitivity and normoglycemia.

Abstract
The prevalence of obesity and metabolic diseases such as type 2 diabetes and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has risen dramatically over the past decades. At present, bariatric surgery is the most effective treatment for this global health problem, through effects on food intake, gut hormone secretion, metabolic signaling pathways, and adipose tissue dysfunction. The liver occupies a central role in carbohydrate, protein, and lipid metabolism. Notably, a reduction in hepatic fat content and an improvement in hepatic insulin resistance are among the earliest beneficial effects of bariatric surgery, which has therefore emerged as an attractive treatment option for NAFLD. However, as the scope and popularity of weight loss surgery have expanded, new questions have arisen regarding its safety in patients with liver cirrhosis, the outcome of liver transplantation in patients with a history of bariatric surgery, and over incidental reports of liver failure following surgery. Studies in humans and rodents have also linked bariatric surgery to an increased risk of developing alcohol use disorder, a major risk factor for liver disease. This review integrates data from clinical and translational research to delineate both the beneficial impact of bariatric surgery on the liver and the potential risks involved.

Abstract
Pronounced weight loss was shown to improve adipocyte dysfunction and insulin sensitivity in obese subjects. While bariatric surgery is frequently accompanied by adverse side effects, weight loss due to caloric restriction is often followed by weight regain. Here we aimed to determine whether switching the diet from a metabolically harmful Western type diet to a balanced standard diet is sufficient to reverse adipocyte dysfunction in diet-induced obese mice. Male C57BL/6 mice were fed a Western diet for 10 weeks and afterwards switched to a standard diet for eight more weeks (WD/SD mice) or continued to be fed a Western diet (WD/WD mice) ad libitum. Mice fed SD for 18 weeks served as control group (SD/SD). Insulin sensitivity was similar in WD/SD and SD/SD mice despite increased body weight in WD/SD mice. Beiging markers Ucp-1, Cidea and Cox8b were drastically reduced in subcutaneous adipose tissue of WD/SD mice when compared with SD/SD mice. Also, in brown adipose tissue morphologic features and markers of thermogenesis were still altered in both WD/SD and WD/WD mice. However, adipocyte size, Hif1α and macrophage infiltration were significantly lower in both, brown and white adipose tissues of WD/SD compared to WD/WD mice and additionally, a shift toward anti-inflammatory M2 phenotype was found in WD/SD mice only. In conclusion our data suggest that switching the diet is sufficient to improve adipose tissue inflammation, while western diet negatively affects thermogenic capacity of brown adipose tissue, and inhibits beiging of white adipose tissue in the long-term.

Abstract
Bariatric surgery (BS) results in metabolic pathway recalibration. We have identified potential biomarkers in plasma of people achieving type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) remission after BS. Longitudinal analysis was performed on plasma from 10 individuals following Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (n = 7) or sleeve gastrectomy (n = 3). Sequential window acquisition of all theoretical fragment ion spectra mass spectrometry (SWATH-MS) was done on samples taken at 4 months before (baseline) and 6 and 12 months after BS. Four hundred sixty-seven proteins were quantified by SWATH-MS. Principal component analysis resolved samples from distinct time points after selection of key discriminatory proteins: 25 proteins were differentially expressed between baseline and 6 months post-surgery; 39 proteins between baseline and 12 months. Eight proteins (SHBG, TF, PRG4, APOA4, LRG1, HSPA4, EPHX2 and PGLYRP) were significantly different to baseline at both 6 and 12 months post-surgery. The panel of proteins identified as consistently different included peptides related to insulin sensitivity (SHBG increase), systemic inflammation (TF and HSPA4-both decreased) and lipid metabolism (APOA4 decreased). We found significant changes in the proteome for eight proteins at 6- and 12-months post-BS, and several of these are key components in metabolic and inflammatory pathways. These may represent potential biomarkers of remission of T2DM.

Whole-body electrical stimulation as a strategy to improve functional capacity and preserver lean mass after bariatric surgery: a randomized triple-blind controlled trial. Int J Obes (Lond) 2021; 45:1476-1487. [PMID: 33927333 DOI: 10.1038/s41366-021-00812-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/26/2020] [Revised: 03/10/2021] [Accepted: 04/09/2021] [Indexed: 02/03/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES Bariatric surgery (BS) is a successful, long-lasting treatment option for obese. The early postoperative (PO) period is followed by dietary restriction and physical inactivity, leading to declines in muscle mass and functional capacity. Whole-body electromyostimulation (WB-EMS) may be a feasible and potential early rehabilitation strategy post BS. The aim was to evaluate the effects of WB-EMS with exercise training (Fe) on functional capacity, body composition, blood biomarkers, muscle strength, and endurance post BS. SUBJECTS/METHODS This is a randomized, triple-blind, sham-controlled trial. Thirty-five volunteers underwent a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and were randomized into a WB-EMS (WB-EMSG) or control group (ShamG). Preoperative evaluations consisted of maximal and submaximal exercise testing, body composition, blood biomarkers, quadriceps strength, and endurance. After discharge, functional capacity and body composition were obtained. Exercise training protocols in both groups consisted of 14 dynamic exercises, 5 days per week, completing 30 sessions. The WB-EMSG also underwent an electrical stimulation protocol (Endurance: 85 Hz, 350 ms, 6 s of strain, 4 f of rest; Strength: 30 Hz, 350 ms, 4 s of strain, 10 seconds of rest, with bipolar electrical pulse). After intervention, subjects were reevaluated. RESULTS The protocol started on average 6.7 ± 3.7 days after discharge. Both groups presented with a decline in functional capacity after BS (p < 0.05) and a reduction in all body composition measurements (p < 0.05). The exercise training program led to significant improvements in functional capacity (ShamG - PO: 453.8 ± 66.1 m, Post: 519.2 ± 62.8 m; WB-EMSG- PO: 435.9 ± 74.5, Post: 562.5 ± 66.4 m, p < 0.05), however, only the WB-EMSG demonstrated significant changes of distance walked (interaction time vs group effect, p < 0.05). In addition, adiponectin significantly increased only in the WB-EMSG (p < 0.05). The WB-EMSG was also able to preserve muscle strength, endurance, and fatigue index, while the ShamG demonstrated significant decline (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION WB-EMS + Fe can be an attractive and feasible method following BS to enhance functional capacity and prevent deterioration of muscle function in the early PO.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The effect of bariatric surgery on postoperative thyroid function remains incompletely understood. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the changes in thyroid functions after gastric sleeve operation for morbidly obese Egyptian patients. METHODS This was a prospective study that recruited 128 patients who underwent sleeve gastrectomy through the period from December 2016 to April 2020. We measured thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), free thyroxin (FT4), and free triiodothyronine. Subclinical hypothyroidism was defined by a TSH level > 4.5 mIU/L but a normal FT4 level. All patients were followed for 12 months after the procedure. RESULTS Preoperatively, 30 (23.4%) patients had subclinical hypothyroidism. The prevalence of subclinical hypothyroidism decreased significantly to reach 7.8% at the end of follow-up (p < 0.001). None of the patients developed de novo hypothyroidism at the end of follow-up. Patients with subclinical hypothyroidism were more likely to be females (p = 0.037) and had significantly higher waist circumference (p < 0.001), DBP (p = 0.02), serum cholesterol (p < 0.001), and serum triglyceride (p < 0.001). However, patients with subclinical hypothyroidism at the end of follow-up had significantly higher BMI at the end of the sixth month (p = 0.048). Similarly, patients with subclinical hypothyroidism at the end of follow-up had significantly higher serum cholesterol (p = 0.002), LDL, (p = 0.038), and serum triglyceride (p < 0.001) at the end of the sixth months of follow-up. A similar trend was noted at the end of the 12th month. The preoperative value of serum TSH correlated significantly with serum cholesterol and triglyceride levels. CONCLUSION The positive effect of the LSG procedure on the hypothyroid bariatric population, including enhanced thyroid function, was demonstrated.

Abstract
Simple Summary Metabolic (bariatric) surgery (MBS) provides the greatest maximum and sustained weight loss among individuals who are morbidly obese. It is more effective than lifestyle interventions in improving or eliminating type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and in decreasing cardiovascular (CV) risk. Preclinical studies have been conducted to investigate the mechanisms by which MBS leads to the benefits in T2DM and CV risk. In this review, we describe the emerging evidence that MBS may also impact cancer risk and mortality, and whom may benefit most. We describe the long term involvement and commitment of the National Institutes of Health in obesity research in general and MBS in particular. We outline the need for additional research to understand the mechanism(s) by which MBS may influence cancer, since these mechanism(s) are currently unknown. Abstract Metabolic (bariatric) surgery (MBS) is recommended for individuals with a BMI > 40 kg/m2 or those with a BMI 35–40 kg/m2 who have one or more obesity related comorbidities. MBS leads to greater initial and sustained weight loss than nonsurgical weight loss approaches. MBS provides dramatic improvement in metabolic function, associated with a reduction in type 2 diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular risk. While the number of MBS procedures performed in the U.S. and worldwide continues to increase, they are still only performed on one percent of the affected population. MBS also appears to reduce the risk of certain obesity related cancers, although which cancers are favorably impacted vary by study, who benefits most is uncertain, and the mechanism(s) driving this risk reduction are mostly speculative. The goal of this manuscript is to highlight (1) emerging evidence that MBS influences cancer risk, and that the potential benefit appears to vary based on cancer, gender, surgical procedure, and likely other variables; (2) the role of the NIH in MBS research in T2DM and CV risk for many years, and more recently in cancer; and (3) the opportunity for research to understand the mechanism(s) by which MBS influences cancer. There is evidence that women benefit more from MBS than men, that MBS may actually increase the risk of colorectal cancer in both women and men, and there is speculation that the benefit in cancer risk reduction may vary according to which MBS procedure an individual undergoes. Herein, we review what is currently known, the historical role of government, especially the National Institutes of Health (NIH), in driving this research, and provide suggestions that we believe could lead to a better understanding of whether and how MBS impacts cancer risk, which cancers are impacted either favorably or unfavorably, the role of the NIH and other research agencies, and key questions to address that will help us to move the science forward.

Abstract
With increasing adiposity in obesity, adipose tissue macrophages contribute to adipose tissue malfunction and increased circulating proinflammatory cytokines. The chronic low-grade inflammation that occurs in obesity ultimately gives rise to a state of metainflammation that increases the risk of metabolic disease. To date, only lifestyle and surgical interventions have been shown to be somewhat effective at reversing the negative consequences of obesity and restoring adipose tissue homeostasis. Exercise, dietary interventions, and bariatric surgery result in immunomodulation, and for some individuals their effects are significant with or without weight loss. Robust evidence suggests that these interventions reduce chronic inflammation, in part, by affecting macrophage infiltration and promoting a phenotypic switch from the M1- to M2-like macrophages. The purpose of this review is to discuss the impact of dietary fatty acids, exercise, and bariatric surgery on cellular characteristics affecting adipose tissue macrophage presence and phenotypes in obesity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Owing to the "obesity-pandemic", an increasing number of individuals are in need of treatment for obesity and obesity-related disorders. For patients with severe disease, results with conventional treatment modalities such as diet regimens, physical activity, and pharmacologic agents most often lack satisfactory efficacy and/or sustainability. In contrast, bariatric surgery has been demonstrated to be associated with marked, long-term weight loss as well as resolution or improvement of co-morbid disease, in particular metabolic aberrations such as insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. The underlying mechanisms for the effects of surgery-induced weight loss on such morbidity are incompletely understood. METHODS This article gives an updated overview of some aspects on the mechanisms involved in the improvement in metabolism in obese individuals submitted to surgery-induced weight loss. Patients undergoing Roux en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB) were studied before and at various times after the operation. Weight, body composition with determination of distribution of adipose tissue (DEXA), and insulin sensitivity (hyperinsulinemic clamp) was determined. In vitro; lipolytic activity and adipose morphology (fat cell size) was assessed. RESULTS Low calorie intake, rerouting of nutrients as well as loss of fat mass are all associated with improved insulin sensitivity after RYGB. In obese individuals, an increase in lipolytic activity in visceral adipose tissue might contribute to the association with cardiometabolic disease. However, selective reduction (omentectomy) seems not to improve insulin sensitivity or cardiometabolic risk. Adipose hyperplasia (many small cells) might be protective against metabolic abnormalities compared to hypertrophy (large cells). Preoperative fat cell size is related to improvement in insulin sensitivity after RYGB. Two years after weight loss, a change in adipose morphology to a more metabolically benign phenotype (remodeling) is seen, with a reduction of fat cell size which is correlated to the improvement in insulin sensitivity. Patients with weight regain 5 years after RYGB, still display a more benign metabolic profile compared to weight-matched controls. CONCLUSIONS Several factors contribute to the improvements in insulin sensitivity and cardiometabolic disease after surgery-induced weight loss, including low calorie intake rerouting of nutrients and loss of adipose tissue mass. Increased lipolytic activity in visceral adipose tissue as well as adipose hypertrophy relates to increased metabolic risk. RYGB-induced weight loss is associated with redistribution of adipose tissue as well as remodeling of fat cells to a more benign profile. Reduction of fat cell size might be a possible target to improve insulin sensitivity in patients with obesity in the future.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obesity is associated with chronic low-grade inflammation, which has been linked to increased morbidity. However, inflammation variably and unpredictably improves after bariatric surgery. This study aimed at (1) evaluating the relationship between amplitude of weight loss and variation of inflammatory parameters after bariatric surgery, and (2) identifying, among clinical and biological baseline parameters, predictive factors of variation in inflammatory parameters. METHODS In a prospective cohort of patients who underwent bariatric surgery, serum concentrations of interleukin (IL)-6, IL-10, resistin, leptin, adiponectin chemerin, and C-reactive protein (CRP) were measured preoperatively and 1 year after surgery, and routine clinical and biochemical parameters were retrieved. Univariate and multivariate analyses (partial least square method) were performed to assess how parameters were associated with weight loss and to predict improvement of inflammatory parameters. RESULTS Eighty-seven patients were included (mean weight ± SD 136.3 ± 3.2 kg, 35 gastric bypasses, 52 sleeve gastrectomies). In parallel with weight loss (39.5 ± 13.8 kg), pro-inflammatory markers (IL-6, CRP, leptin, resistin) significantly decreased, and anti-inflammatory markers (IL-10, adiponectin) increased. Multivariate analysis revealed a significant association between weight loss and improvement in inflammatory parameters. Among all the clinical and biological preoperative parameters, baseline chemerin level was the only parameter that was significantly associated with global improvement of the inflammatory status after surgery. CONCLUSION The amplitude of weight loss 1 year after bariatric surgery was strongly correlated with improvement of inflammatory profile, which could be predicted by baseline plasma level of chemerin. This suggests a key role of chemerin in obesity-driven inflammation, and a potential use as a biomarker.

Abstract
Bariatric and metabolic surgery has evolved from simple experimental procedures for a chronic problem associated with significant morbidity into a sophisticated multidisciplinary treatment modality rooted in biology and physiology. Although the complete mechanistic narrative of bariatric surgery cannot yet be written, significant advance in knowledge has been made in the past 2 decades. This article provides a brief overview of the most studied hypotheses and their supporting evidence. Ongoing research, especially in frontier areas, such as the microbiome, will continue to refine, and perhaps even revise, current mechanistic understanding.

Abstract
Obesity is an ever-growing public health crisis, and bariatric surgery (BS) has become a valuable tool in ameliorating obesity, along with comorbid conditions such as diabetes, dyslipidemia and hypertension. BS techniques have come a long way, leading to impressive improvements in the health of the majority of patients. Unfortunately, not every patient responds optimally to BS and there is no method that is sufficient to pre-operatively predict who will receive maximum benefit from this surgical intervention. This review focuses on the adipose tissue characteristics and related parameters that may affect outcomes, as well as the potential influences of insulin resistance, BMI, age, psychologic and genetic factors. Understanding the role of these factors may help predict who will benefit the most from BS.

Abstract
Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is the most efficient intervention in morbid obesity and promotes metabolic improvements in several peripheral tissues. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms are still poorly understood. To further understand the effects of RYGB on peripheral tissues transcriptomes, we determined transcriptome signatures in pancreatic islets, adipose and liver tissue from diet-induced obese (DIO) rats model following RYGB. Whereas RYGB led to discrete gene expression changes in pancreatic islets, substantial transcriptome changes were observed in metabolic and immune signaling pathways in adipose tissue and the liver, indicating major gene adaptive responses in fat-storing tissues. Compared to RYGB DIO rats, peripheral tissue transcriptome signatures were markedly different in caloric restricted weight matching DIO rats, implying that caloric restriction paradigms do not reflect transcriptomic regulations of RYGB induced weight loss. The present gene expression study may serve as a basis for further investigations into molecular regulatory effects in peripheral tissues following RYGB-induced weight loss.

Abstract
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) and their endogenous inhibitor, the tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases (TIMP), are expressed in many different cell types and play an important role in physiologic and pathological degradation of extracellular matrix (ECM). Starting from these observations and considering the activation state of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) in obesity, we investigated the gene expression of metalloproteinases before and after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYBG). The study was performed in the Ribeirão Preto Medical School University Hospital. Seventy-three women were divided into a study group (SG), composed of 53 individuals with severe obesity before and after 6 months of RYGB, and a control group (CG), composed of 20 normal-weight individuals. Anthropometric and body composition data were collected, and peripheral blood for ribonucleic acid (RNA) extraction. The biological samples were submitted to a quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction to evaluate the expression of MMP2 and TIMP2 genes. Alterations in weight loss, body mass index (BMI), and fat mass (FM) were observed after 6 months of RYGB (p < 0.05). A reduction of gene expression of TIMP2 was observed after 6 months of RYGB, contributing positively to the weight loss (R 2 = 0.33 p = 0.04). The enrichment analyses highlighted the interaction between TIMP2 and MMP2 genes and the molecular pathways involving the ECM remodeling in the obesity condition. RYGB contributes significantly to weight loss, improved BMI, reduced FM, and reduced TIMP2 expression in PBMCs, which might contribute to the ECM remodeling in the obesity and could be useful as a circulating biomarker.

Abstract
White adipose tissue (WAT) is a cellularly heterogeneous endocrine organ that not only serves as an energy reservoir, but also actively participates in metabolic homeostasis. Among the main constituents of adipose tissue are adipocytes, which arise from adipose stem and progenitor cells (ASPCs). While it is well known that these ASPCs reside in the stromal vascular fraction (SVF) of adipose tissue, their molecular heterogeneity and functional diversity is still poorly understood. Driven by the resolving power of single-cell transcriptomics, several recent studies provided new insights into the cellular complexity of ASPCs among different mammalian fat depots. In this review, we present current knowledge on ASPCs, their population structure, hierarchy, fat depot-specific nature, function, and regulatory mechanisms, and discuss not only the similarities, but also the differences between mouse and human ASPC biology.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bariatric surgery induces weight loss, but changes in glucose metabolism, gut peptides, and inflammatory biomarkers still have conflicting results. SETTINGS University hospital. OBJECTIVES We investigated glucose metabolism, gut hormones, and inflammatory profile after bariatric surgery and medical treatment. METHODS Forty patients with obesity were recruited and were subjected to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (n = 15; Bariatric Surgery Group - BSG) or received medical care (n = 20; MG). Sleeve gastrectomy was performed in five patients who were excluded from analysis. Glucose, insulin, homeostatic model for the assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide (GIP), glucagon, ghrelin, dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) activity, circulating lipopolysaccharide (LPS), LPS-binding protein (LPB) and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) were evaluated before and three months after each treatment. Except for HOMA-IR, hs-CRP, and LBP, all variables were assessed at fasting and 30- and 60-minutes after a standard meal. RESULTS After 3 months, both groups lost weight. However, BSG had a more extensive reduction than MG (respectively, 17.6% vs. 4.25%; P < 0.01). Except for LPS levels, higher on BSG than MG (1.38 ± 0.96 vs. 0.83 ± 0.60 EU/ml, P < 0.01), groups were similar before treatment. In respect to metabolic/hormonal changes, the BSG showed higher glucose, insulin, GLP-1, and GIP levels at 30-min and also GLP-1 at 30- and 60-minutes. DPP-4 activity, HOMA-IR, and fasting LBP did not change. LPS levels at 60-minutes decreased after surgery in the BSG. hs-CRP decreased on BSG compared to MG. CONCLUSIONS Bariatric surgery resulted in more extensive effects on glucose metabolism, gut hormones, and inflammation.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Bariatric surgery is an effective therapy for morbid obesity that also improves weight-related metabolic parameters and reduces morbidity and mortality. The purpose of this review is to consolidate our current understanding of metabolic, macrovascular and microvascular benefits of bariatric surgery and to provide an update. RECENT FINDINGS Early resolution of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) varies by type of bariatric surgery and appears to be mediated by changes in secretion of gut hormones, metabolism of bile acids, expression of glucose transporters and the gut microbiome. Dyslipidaemia, atherosclerosis, microvascular complications of obesity and diabetes, systemic and tissue-level inflammation show evidence of regression and hypertension improves significantly after bariatric surgery. SUMMARY Bariatric surgery leads to improvements in obesity-related metabolic comorbidities such as dyslipidaemia, HDL functionality, hypertension, T2DM, insulin resistance and inflammation. It slows the atherosclerotic process and reduces cardiovascular and all-cause mortality. Recent data have demonstrated regression of the microvascular complications of obesity and diabetes including the regeneration of small nerve fibres. The magnitude of change in short-term metabolic effects depends on the surgical procedure whilst longer term effects are related to the amount of sustained excess weight loss.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bariatric surgery is well established as a treatment for obesity and associated complications. This procedure improves metabolic homeostasis through changes in energy expenditure. We hypothesized that sleeve gastrectomy (SG) improves metabolic homeostasis by modulating energy expenditure and enhancing thermogenesis through increasing the expression level of meteorin-like protein (METRNL) and fibronectin type III domain-containing protein 5 (FNDC5/Irisin) through uncoupling proteins 1/2/3 (UCP1, UCP2, and UCP3). OBJECTIVES To study the effect of SG on the levels of proteins involved in thermogenesis process. SETTING Laboratory rats at Kuwait University. METHODS Male Sprague-Dawley rats, aged 4 to 5 weeks, were divided into 2 groups, control (n = 11) and diet-induced obesity (DIO) (n = 22). The control group was fed regular rat chow ad libitum, whereas the DIO group was fed cafeteria diet "high-fat/carbohydrate diet" ad libitum. At 21 weeks, rats in the DIO group that weighed 20% more than the control group animals underwent surgery. These rats were randomly subdivided into Sham and SG operation groups. Gene expression was evaluated, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays were employed to assess the changes in gene and protein levels in tissue and circulation. RESULTS The protein expression data revealed an increase in METRNL levels in the muscles and white adipose tissue of SG animals. METRNL level in circulation in SG animals was reduced compared with control and Sham rats. The level of Irisin increased in the muscle of SG animals compared with the control and Sham group animals; however, a decrease in Irisin level was observed in the white adipose tissue and brown adipose tissue of SG animals compared with controls. Gene expression analysis revealed decreased METRNL levels in muscle tissues in the SG group compared with the control group animals. Increased expression of FNDC5 (Irisin), UCP2, and UCP3 in the muscle tissue of SG animals was also observed. Furthermore, the levels of UCP1, UCP2, UCP3, and METRNL in the brown adipose tissue of SG animals were upregulated. No significant alteration in the gene expression of Irisin was observed in brown adipose tissue. CONCLUSIONS Sleeve gastrectomy induces weight loss through complex mechanisms that may include browning of fat.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW To give an updated review on the underlying mechanisms and clinical effects of improved glucose control after bariatric surgery. RECENT FINDINGS The basic principles of the mechanism for the metabolic effects of bariatric surgery can be categorized into calorie restriction, deviation of nutrients, and reduced amounts of adipose tissue. Recent findings suggest the importance of early changes following deviation of nutrients to more distal parts of the small bowel resulting in altered release of gastrointestinal hormones, altered gut microbiota, and weight-reduction. In the long-term, loss of adipose tissue results in reduced inflammation and improved insulin sensitivity. From a clinical perspective these changes are associated with remission of diabetes in patients with morbid obesity and type 2 diabetes, prevention of diabetes in patients with insulin resistance without overt type 2 diabetes and prevention of both microvascular and macrovascular complications for all patients with morbid obesity. SUMMARY At present, bariatric surgery remains the most effective treatment option to improve glucose control and long-term complications associated with hyperglycemia in patients with obesity.Although the mechanisms behind these metabolic effects remain only partially understood, further knowledge on these complex mechanisms may help identifying durable treatment options for morbid obesity and important metabolic comorbidities.

Abstract
Adipose tissue is an active endocrine and immune organ that controls systemic immunometabolism via multiple pathways. Diverse immune cell populations reside in adipose tissue, and their composition and immune responses vary with nutritional and environmental conditions. Adipose tissue dysfunction, characterized by sterile low-grade chronic inflammation and excessive immune cell infiltration, is a hallmark of obesity, as well as an important link to cardiometabolic diseases. Amongst the pro-inflammatory factors secreted by the dysfunctional adipose tissue, interleukin (IL)-1β, induced by the NLR family pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome, not only impairs peripheral insulin sensitivity, but it also interferes with the endocrine and immune functions of adipose tissue in a paracrine manner. Human studies indicated that NLRP3 activity in adipose tissues positively correlates with obesity and its metabolic complications, and treatment with the IL-1β antibody improves glycaemia control in type 2 diabetic patients. In mouse models, genetic or pharmacological inhibition of NLRP3 activation pathways or IL-1β prevents adipose tissue dysfunction, including inflammation, fibrosis, defective lipid handling and adipogenesis, which in turn alleviates obesity and its related metabolic disorders. In this review, we summarize both the negative and positive regulators of NLRP3 inflammasome activation, and its pathophysiological consequences on immunometabolism. We also discuss the potential therapeutic approaches to targeting adipose tissue inflammasome for the treatment of obesity and its related metabolic disorders.

Abstract
Adipose tissue plays essential roles in maintaining lipid and glucose homeostasis. To date several types of adipose tissue have been identified, namely white, brown, and beige, that reside in various specific anatomical locations throughout the body. The cellular composition, secretome, and location of these adipose depots define their function in health and metabolic disease. In obesity, adipose tissue becomes dysfunctional, promoting a pro-inflammatory, hyperlipidemic and insulin resistant environment that contributes to type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Concurrently, similar features that result from adipose tissue dysfunction also promote cardiovascular disease (CVD) by mechanisms that can be augmented by T2DM. The mechanisms by which dysfunctional adipose tissue simultaneously promote T2DM and CVD, focusing on adipose tissue depot-specific adipokines, inflammatory profiles, and metabolism, will be the focus of this review. The impact that various T2DM and CVD treatment strategies have on adipose tissue function and body weight also will be discussed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Severe obesity is a growing, worldwide burden and conventional therapies including radical change of diet and/or increased physical activity have limited results. Bariatric surgery has been proposed as an alternative therapy showing promising results. It leads to substantial weight loss and improvement of comorbidities such as type 2 diabetes. Increased adiposity is associated with changes in epigenetic profile, including DNA methylation. We investigated the effect of bariatric surgery on clinical profile, DNA methylation, and biological age estimated using Horvath's epigenetic clock. RESULTS To determine the impact of bariatric surgery and subsequent weight loss on clinical traits, a cohort of 40 severely obese individuals (BMI = 30-73 kg/m2) was examined at the time of surgery and at three follow-up visits, i.e., 3, 6, and 12 months after surgery. The majority of the individuals were women (65%) and the mean age at surgery was 45.1 ± 8.1 years. We observed a significant decrease over time in BMI, fasting glucose, HbA1c, HOMA-IR, insulin, total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL and free fatty acids levels, and a significant small increase in HDL levels (all p values < 0.05). Epigenome-wide association analysis revealed 4857 differentially methylated CpG sites 12 months after surgery (at Bonferroni-corrected p value < 1.09 × 10-7). Including BMI change in the model decreased the number of significantly differentially methylated CpG sites by 51%. Gene set enrichment analysis identified overrepresentation of multiple processes including regulation of transcription, RNA metabolic, and biosynthetic processes in the cell. Bariatric surgery in severely obese patients resulted in a decrease in both biological age and epigenetic age acceleration (EAA) (mean = - 0.92, p value = 0.039). CONCLUSIONS Our study shows that bariatric surgery leads to substantial BMI decrease and improvement of clinical outcomes observed 12 months after surgery. These changes explained part of the association between bariatric surgery and DNA methylation. We also observed a small, but significant improvement of biological age. These epigenetic changes may be modifiable by environmental lifestyle factors and could be used as potential biomarkers for obesity and in the future for obesity related comorbidities.

Abstract
Bariatric surgery (BS) is the most effective treatment for obesity and has a positive impact on cardiometabolic risk and in the remission of type 2 diabetes. Following BS, the majority of fat mass is lost from the subcutaneous adipose tissue depot (SAT). However, the changes in this depot and functions and as well as its relative contribution to the beneficial effects of this surgery are still controversial. With the aim of studying altered proteins and molecular pathways in abdominal SAT (aSAT) after body weight normalization induced by BS, we carried out a proteomic approach sequential window acquisition of all theoretical mass spectra (SWATH-MS) analysis. These results were complemented by Western blot, electron microscopy and RT-qPCR. With all of the working tools mentioned, we confirmed that after BS, up-regulated proteins were associated with metabolism, the citric acid cycle and respiratory electron transport, triglyceride catabolism and metabolism, formation of ATP, pyruvate metabolism, glycolysis/gluconeogenesis and thermogenesis among others. In contrast, proteins with decreased values are part of the biological pathways related to the immune system. We also confirmed that obesity caused a significant decrease in mitochondrial density and coverage, which was corrected by BS. Together, these findings reveal specific molecular mechanisms, genes and proteins that improve adipose tissue function after BS characterized by lower inflammation, increased glucose uptake, higher insulin sensitivity, higher de novo lipogenesis, increased mitochondrial function and decreased adipocyte size.

Abstract
In recent decades there has been an alarming increase in the prevalence of obesity in patients with type 1 diabetes leading to the development of insulin resistance and cardiometabolic complications, with mechanisms poorly clarified. While bariatric surgery has long been considered an effective treatment option for patients with type 2 diabetes, the evidence regarding its benefits on weight loss and the prevention of complications in T1DM patients is scarce, with controversial outcomes. Bariatric surgery has been associated with a significant reduction in daily insulin requirement, along with a considerable reduction in body mass index, results which were sustained in the long term. Furthermore, studies suggest that bariatric surgery in type 1 diabetes results in the improvement of comorbidities related to obesity including hypertension and dyslipidemia. However, regarding glycemic control, the reduction of mean glycosylated hemoglobin was modest or statistically insignificant in most studies. The reasons for these results are yet to be elucidated; possible explanations include preservation of beta cell mass and increased residual function post-surgery, improvement in insulin action, altered GLP-1 function, timing of surgery, and association with residual islet cell mass. A number of concerns regarding safety issues have arisen due to the reporting of peri-operative and post-operative adverse events. The most significant complications are metabolic and include diabetic ketoacidosis, severe hypoglycemia and glucose fluctuations. Further prospective clinical studies are required to provide evidence for the effect of bariatric surgery on T1DM patients. The results may offer a better knowledge for the selection of people living with diabetes who will benefit more from a metabolic surgery.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Bariatric surgery may modulate the hormones and elements which maintain thyroid and calcium homeostasis. These adaptations in hormonal and elemental aspects have previously been determined via some studies with variations in their findings. Thyroid volume and 24-h urinary calcium are two parameters which have not been investigated regarding whether they change during the bariatric postsurgical period. This study planned to examine the changes in calcium metabolism and thyroid gland functioning after sleeve gastrectomy (SG) and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). MATERIALS AND METHODS Seventy-three morbidly obese patients with planned bariatric surgery were enrolled in the study. Before and 12 months after the operation, parathormone (PTH), 25-OH-vitamin D3(25vitD3), TSH, free triiodothyronine (fT3), free thyroxine (fT4), calcium (Ca), 24-h urinary Ca and ultrasonography-guided thyroid volume were measured. RESULTS In the beginning, 73 patients were examined and 12 months after surgery out of 25 patients continuing follow-up, 20 (80%) had undergone sleeve gastrectomy (SG) while five (20%) had undergone Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). Accompanied by significant BMI decrease, 24-h urinary Ca and thyroid volume did not significantly increase in RYGB, SG, and the whole group after 12 months. The SG group showed a significant drop in TSH (p 0.03) level, while the RYGB group showed significant decreases in fT4 (p 0.00) and fT3 (p 0.00); and significant fT3 decrease (p 0.01) was recorded for the whole group. CONCLUSION Bariatric surgery may modify Ca homeostasis and thyroid gland functional status. We documented that these were not statistically significant increases in 24-h urinary Ca level and thyroid volume after 1 year. Further studies are needed to understand the issue, enrolling more patients who underwent the same bariatric procedure and after accounting for the inhibition of supplementary vitamin and mineral effects.

Abstract
Background Obesity is considered to be a major comorbidity. Obese patients suffer from an increased proinflammatory state associated with a premature aging phenotype including increased secretion of senescence-associated secretory proteins (SASP) and reduced telomere length. Micro-ribonucleic acids (miRNAs) are non-coding RNA molecules that could modify the post-transcriptional process. Several studies have reported associations between miRNAs and metabolic unhealthy conditions. Aim To determine if bariatric surgery and the resulting weight loss could reverse the premature aging phenotype. Methods We enrolled 58 morbidly obese patients undergoing bariatric surgery. Markers of premature aging including the SASP IL-6, CRP and PAI-1, 7 miRNAs, as well as telomere length and telomere oxidation in mononuclear cells were evaluated. Results Patients showed a significant drop of body mass index (BMI; 43.98 ± 3.5 versus 28.02 ± 4.1, p < 0.001). We observed a significant reduction in SASP including a reduction of 55% of plasma IL-6 levels (p = 0 < 0.001), 83% of CRP levels (p = 0.001) and 15% of plasma PAI-1 levels (p < 0.001). Telomere length doubled in the patient cohort (p < 0.001) and was accompanied by a reduction in the telomere oxidation index by 70% (p < 0.001). Telomere length was inversely correlated with telomere oxidation. The aging-associated miRNA miR10a_5p was upregulated significantly (p = 0.039), while the other tested miRNAs showed no difference. Conclusion Our data indicate a significant reduction of the proinflammatory SASP after bariatric surgery. We observed an increase in telomere length and reduced oxidative stress at telomeres. miR10a_5p which is downregulated during aging was upregulated after surgery. Overall, bariatric surgery ameliorated the premature aging phenotype.
