Abstract
Background An international panel of obesity medicine experts from multiple professional organizations examined patterns of obesity care and current obesity treatment guidelines to identify areas requiring updating in response to emerging science and clinical evidence. Aims The panel focused on multiple medical health and societal issues influencing effective treatment of obesity and identified several unmet needs in the definition, assessment, and care of obesity. Methods The panel was held in Leesburg, Virginia in September 2019. Results The panelists recommended addressing these unmet needs in obesity medicine through research, education, evaluation of delivery and payment of care, and updating clinical practice guidelines (CPG) to better reflect obesity's pathophysiological basis and heterogeneity, as well as the disease's health, sociocultural, and economic complications; effects on quality of life; need for standards for quantitative comparison of treatment benefits, risks, and costs; and the need to more effectively integrate obesity treatment guidelines into routine clinical practice and to facilitate more direct clinician participation to improve public understanding of obesity as a disease with a pathophysiological basis. The panel also recommended that professional organizations working to improve the care of people with obesity collaborate via a working group to develop an updated, patient-focused, comprehensive CPG establishing standards of care, addressing identified needs, and providing for routine, periodic review and updating. Conclusions Unmet needs in the definition, assessment and treatment of obesity were identified and a blueprint to address these needs developed via a clinical practice guideline that can be utilized worldwide to respond to the increasing prevalence of obesity.

Abstract
Background Obesity is a global health crisis with profound implications on various body systems, contributing to a series of comorbidities. Metabolic Bariatric Surgery (MBS) has emerged as an effective treatment option for severe obesity, with significant weight reduction and potential systemic physiological alterations. Objectives This narrative review aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of the long-term effects of MBS on a wide array of body systems, including the heart, liver, kidneys, reproductive system, skin, lungs, digestive tract, pancreas, and blood, as well as related cancers of these organs. Methods A systematic search was conducted in academic databases (PubMed, ISI Web of Science, and Scopus) for observational studies and reviews published between July 2000 and December 2023, investigating the association between MBS and the subsequent function of different organ systems. High-quality studies were prioritized to ensure reliable evidence synthesis. Results MBS has demonstrated favorable outcomes in reducing cardiovascular disease risk, improving cardiac function, and alleviating heart failure symptoms. It has also been associated with improved respiratory function, remission of obstructive sleep apnea, and reduced cancer incidence and mortality. Additionally, MBS has shown benefits in managing gastrointestinal disorders, enhancing glycemic control, and promoting pancreatic beta-cell regeneration in type 2 diabetes mellitus. However, some methods of MBS are associated with a higher risk of cholelithiasis, GERD, and pancreatic exocrine insufficiency. Conclusion MBS has far-reaching systemic effects beyond weight loss, offering potential long-term benefits for various organ systems and comorbidities associated with obesity. For many patients with severe obesity, the potential benefits of Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (MBS) can outweigh the associated risks. However, careful evaluation by a qualified healthcare professional is crucial to determine candidacy and ensure a successful outcome. Further research is needed to fully elucidate the long-term impacts and tailor personalized treatment approaches.

Ocul Surf 2024; 34:140-145. [PMID: 39053583 DOI: 10.1016/j.jtos.2024.07.006] [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: 02/22/2024] [Revised: 07/09/2024] [Accepted: 07/22/2024] [Indexed: 07/27/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE Diabetic peripheral neuropathy can be detected using non-invasive in vivo confocal microscopy of the cornea (IVCM) and such abnormalities may precede the development of clinical neuropathy. The current study aimed to assess any progression or remission of corneal and peripheral neuropathy in patients with type 2 diabetes undergoing bariatric surgery. METHODS People with known type 2 diabetes for at least five years and listed for bariatric surgery were recruited. Participants were assessed before, and 12, 26, and 52 weeks following bariatric surgery. IVCM and corneal sensitivity measurements were performed. A modified total neuropathy score (mTNS) was obtained from neuropathy questionnaire, clinical assessment and biothesiometry. RESULTS Twenty-nine participants (M:F, 11:18) with mean BMI of 44.7 ± 6.4 kg/m2, and 11 ± 7.6 years duration of diabetes, were assessed. Corneal sub-basal nerve fibre length (CNFL), displayed an increase from a baseline mean of 12.20 ± 1.00 to 17.48 ± 0.92 mm/mm2 at 52 weeks (p < 0.0001). Corneal sensitivity threshold displayed a decrease over time, thus corneal sensitivity improved, falling from a mean of 1.11 ±0 .15 to 0.62 ± 0.11 (mBAR) (p < 0.0001). Clinical neuropathy scores demonstrated significant improvements from baseline, displaying a decrease in average mTNS score from 3.29 ± 0.68 to 0.76 ± 0.30 (p < 0.0001). A significant inverse relationship was shown between CNFL and sensitivity (β coefficient = -0.047, p < 0.001), and CNFL and mTNS (β coefficient = -0.178, p < 0.001). CONCLUSION Bariatric surgery led to an improvement in metabolic control of diabetes and weight loss, along with improvement in corneal nerve microstructure, corneal sensitivity, and neuropathic symptoms, suggesting a reversal of both small and large fibre neuropathy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) demonstrates high rates of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) remission, a phenomenon hypothesized to be mediated mainly by weight loss. Compared with procedures that do not bypass the proximal small intestines, such as sleeve gastrectomy (SG), RYGB exhibits weight loss-independent intestinal mechanisms conducive to T2DM remission. We investigated continued diabetes remission (CDR) rates despite weight recurrence (WR) after RYGB compared with an SG cohort. STUDY DESIGN A retrospective review of patients who underwent successful primary RYGB or SG with a BMI value of 35 kg/m 2 or more and a preoperative diagnosis of T2DM was performed. Patients with less than 5 years of follow-up, absence of WR, or lack of T2DM remission at nadir weight were excluded. After selecting the optimal procedure for glycemic control, rates of CDR were then stratified into WR quartiles and compared. RESULTS A total of 224 RYGB and 46 SG patients were analyzed. The overall rate of CDR was significantly higher in the RYGB group (75%) compared with the SG group (34.8%; p < 0.001). The odds of T2DM recurrence were 5.5 times higher after SG compared with RYGB. Rates of CDR were stratified into WR quartiles (85.5%, <25%; 81.7%, 25% to 44.9%; 63.2%, 45% to 74.9%; and 60%, >75%). Baseline insulin use, higher preoperative glycosylated hemoglobin, and longer preoperative duration of T2DM were associated with T2DM recurrence, whereas WR was not. CONCLUSIONS T2DM remission rates after RYGB are maintained despite WR, arguing for a concurrent weight loss-independent metabolic benefit likely facilitated by bypassing the proximal small intestine.

Abstract
A systematic search was conducted in Medline Ovid, Embase, Scopus, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials up until March 2021 following PRISMA guidelines. Studies included evaluated ghrelin, GLP-1, PYY or appetite sensation via visual analogue scales (VASs) before and after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) in adults. A multilevel model with random effects for study and follow-up time points nested in study was fit to the data. The model included kcal consumption as a covariate and time points as moderators. Among the 2559 articles identified, k = 47 were included, among which k = 19 evaluated ghrelin, k = 40 GLP-1, k = 22 PYY, and k = 8 appetite sensation. Our results indicate that fasting ghrelin levels are decreased 2 weeks post-RYGB (p = 0.005) but do not differ from baseline from 6 weeks to 1-year post-RYGB. Postprandial ghrelin and fasting GLP-1 levels were not different from pre-surgical values. Postprandial levels of GLP-1 increased significantly from 1 week (p < 0.001) to 2 years post-RYGB (p < 0.01) compared with pre-RYGB. Fasting PYY increased at 6 months (p = 0.034) and 1 year (p = 0.029) post-surgery; also, postprandial levels increased up to 1 year (p < 0.01). Insufficient data on appetite sensation were available to be meta-analyzed.

Abstract
Traditional approaches to prevention of the complications of type 2 diabetes (T2D) and obesity have focused on reduction of blood glucose and body weight. The development of new classes of medications, together with evidence from dietary weight loss and bariatric surgery trials, provides new options for prevention of heart failure, chronic kidney disease, myocardial infarction, stroke, metabolic liver disease, cancer, T2D, and neurodegenerative disorders. Here I review evidence for use of lifestyle modification, SGLT-2 inhibitors, GLP-1 receptor agonists, selective mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists, and bariatric surgery, for prevention of cardiorenal and metabolic complications in people with T2D or obesity, highlighting the contributions of weight loss, as well as weight loss-independent mechanisms of action. Collectively, the evidence supports a tailored approach to selection of therapeutic interventions for T2D and obesity based on the likelihood of developing specific complications, rather than a stepwise approach focused exclusively on glycemic or weight control.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This observational study investigated metabolomic changes in individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D) after weight loss. We hypothesized that metabolite changes associated with T2D-relevant phenotypes are signatures of improved health. METHODS Fasting plasma samples from individuals undergoing bariatric surgery (n = 71 Roux-en-Y gastric bypass [RYGB], n = 22 gastric banding), lifestyle intervention (n = 66), or usual care (n = 14) were profiled for 139 metabolites before and 2 years after weight loss. Principal component analysis grouped correlated metabolites into factors. Association of preintervention metabolites was tested with preintervention clinical features and changes in T2D markers. Association between change in metabolites/metabolite factors and change in T2D remission markers, homeostasis model assessment of β-cell function, homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance, and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) was assessed. RESULTS Branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) were associated with preintervention adiposity. Changes in BCAAs (valine, leucine/isoleucine) and branched-chain ketoacids were positively associated with change in HbA1c (false discovery rate q value ≤ 0.001) that persisted after adjustment for percentage weight change and RYGB (p ≤ 0.02). In analyses stratified by RYGB or other weight loss method, some metabolites showed association with non-RYGB weight loss. CONCLUSIONS This study confirmed known metabolite associations with obesity/T2D and showed an association of BCAAs with HbA1c change after weight loss, independent of the method or magnitude of weight loss.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION As the rate of obesity increases, so does the incidence of obesity-related comorbidities. Metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) is the most effective treatment for obesity, yet this treatment is severely underused. MBS can improve, resolve, and prevent the development of obesity-related comorbidities; this improvement in health also results in lower healthcare costs. The studies that have examined these outcomes are often limited by small sample sizes, reliance on outdated data, inconsistent definitions of outcomes, and the use of simulated data. Using recent real-world data, we will identify characteristics of individuals who qualify for MBS but have not had MBS and address the gaps in knowledge around the impact of MBS on health outcomes and healthcare costs. METHODS AND ANALYSIS Using a large US employer-based retrospective claims database (Merative), we will identify all obese adults (21+) who have had a primary MBS from 2016 to 2021 and compare their characteristics and outcomes with obese adults who did not have an MBS from 2016 to 2021. Baseline demographics, health outcomes, and costs will be examined in the year before the index date, remission and new-onset comorbidities, and healthcare costs will be examined at 1 and 3 years after the index date. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION As this was an observational study of deidentified patients in the Merative database, Institutional Review Board approval and consent were exempt (in accordance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act Privacy Rule). An IRB exemption was approved by the wcg IRB (#13931684). Knowledge dissemination will include presenting results at national and international conferences, sharing findings with specialty societies, and publishing results in peer-reviewed journals. All data management and analytic code will be made available publicly to enable others to leverage our methods to verify and extend our findings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The causes for failure of metabolic improvement and inadequate weight loss after metabolic surgery (MS) in Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) have not been fully elucidated. The effect of insulin resistance (IR) on the outcome of T2D, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and obesity after MS in Chinese patients with T2D and a body mass index (BMI) of 25-32.5 kg/m2 warrants further study. OBJECTIVES Patients with T2D and a BMI of 25-32.5 kg/m2 who underwent MS between July 2019 and June 2021 were included. SETTING University hospital, China. METHODS IR levels were evaluated with the glucose disposal rate (GDR). Improvement of T2D, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia was assessed with the composite triple endpoint (CTEP), and weight loss was assessed with the percent of total weight loss (%TWL). Partial correlation analysis, binary logistic regression analysis, multiple linear regression analysis, receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) analysis, and subgroup analysis were used to analyze the relationship between the CTEP, %TWL at 1 year postoperative, and GDR preoperative. RESULTS This study analyzed the data of 51 patients with T2D and a BMI of 25-32.5 kg/m2 (30 men and 21 women) with a mean preoperative GDR of 3.72 ± 1.48 mg/kg/min. Partial correlation coefficients between CTEP, %TWL, and GDR were .303 (P = .041) and .449 (P = .001), respectively. The preoperative GDR was significantly positively correlated with CTEP (OR = 1.610, P = .024) and %TWL (β = 1.38, P = .003). The preoperative GDR predicted cutoff values of 4.36 and 5.35 mg/kg/min for CTEP attainment and %TWL ≥ 20%, respectively. CONCLUSION IR levels predicted metabolic improvement and weight loss 1 year after MS in Chinese patients with T2D and a BMI of 25-32.5 kg/m2.

[PMID: 37851285 PMCID: PMC10687155 DOI: 10.1007/s11695-023-06856-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/08/2023] [Revised: 09/11/2023] [Accepted: 09/24/2023] [Indexed: 10/19/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE Bariatric surgery is the most effective and durable treatment of obesity and can put type 2 diabetes (T2D) into remission. We aimed to examine remission rates after bariatric surgery and the impacts of post-surgical healthcare costs. MATERIALS AND METHODS Obese adults with T2D were identified in Merative™ (US employer-based retrospective claims database). Individuals who had bariatric surgery were matched 1:1 with those who did not with baseline demographic and health characteristics. Rates of remission and total healthcare costs were compared at 6-12 and 6-36 months after the index date. RESULTS Remission rates varied substantially by baseline T2D complexity; differences in rates at 1 year ranged from 41% for those with high-complexity T2D to 66% for those with low- to mid-complexity T2D. At 3 years, those who had bariatric surgery had 56% higher remission rates than those who did not have bariatric surgery, with differences of 73%, 59%, and 35% for those with low-, mid-, and high-complexity T2D at baseline. Healthcare costs were $3401 and $20,378 lower among those who had bariatric surgery in the 6 to 12 months and 6 to 36 months after the index date, respectively, than their matched controls. The biggest cost differences were seen among those with high-complexity T2D; those who had bariatric surgery had $26,879 lower healthcare costs in the 6 to 36 months after the index date than those who did not. CONCLUSION Individuals with T2D undergoing bariatric surgery have substantially higher rates of T2D remission and lower healthcare costs.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) are approved for the management of type 2 diabetes (T2D) and obesity, and some are recommended for cardiorenal risk reduction in T2D. To enhance the benefits with GLP-RA mono-agonist therapy, GLP-1/glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) receptor co-agonists are in development to capitalize on the synergism of GLP-1 and GIP agonism. We review the mechanisms of action and clinical data for GLP-1/GIP receptor co-agonists in T2D and obesity and their potential role in cardiovascular protection. RECENT FINDINGS Tirzepatide, a first-in-class unimolecular GLP-1/GIP receptor co-agonist, is approved for T2D and is awaiting approval for obesity management. Phase 3 trials in T2D cohorts revealed significant reductions in glycemia and body weight and superiority compared with GLP-1R mono-agonism with semaglutide. Tirzepatide has demonstrated significant body weight reductions in individuals with obesity but not diabetes. It enhances lipid metabolism, reduces blood pressure, and lowers liver fat content. Pooled phase 2/3 data showed cardiovascular safety in T2D while a post hoc analysis suggested tirzepatide slows the decline of kidney function in T2D. SUMMARY GLP-1/GIP receptor co-agonists are a novel addition to the diabetes and obesity armamentarium. The cardiorenal-metabolic benefits position them as promising multiprong tools for metabolically complex individuals with chronic vascular complications.

Abstract
Diabetes constitutes a world-wide pandemic that requires searching for new treatments to halt its progression. Cellular senescence of pancreatic beta cells has been described as a major contributor to development and worsening of diabetes. The concept of reversibility of cellular senescence is critical as is the timing to take actions against this "dormant" senescent state. The reversal of cellular senescence can be considered as rejuvenation of the specific cell if it returns to the original "healthy state" and doesn't behave aberrantly as seen in some cancer cells. In rodents, treatment with senolytics and senomorphics blunted or prevented disease progression, however their use carry drawbacks. Modulators of cellular senescence is a new area of research that seeks to reverse the senescence. More research in each of these modalities should lead to new treatments to stop diabetes development and progression.

Type 2 Diabetes Remission Through Intense Lifestyle Modification with Three-Year Follow-Up of an Elderly Male on High Insulin Dosage: A Case Report. Integr Med (Encinitas) 2023; 22:33-35.

Abstract
An elderly obese male patient (60 yrs.) diagnosed Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) presented to our clinic. He was on 94 units of insulin and oral hypoglycemic agents during his initial consultation visit. After obtaining informed consent, he was enrolled into intense lifestyle modification program for a duration of six months, with a three-year follow-up after the intervention. The patient underwent complete remission losing 13 kg of body weight and also successfully clearing oral glucose tolerance tests (OGTT) for three consecutive years. We present three unique features in the current case report: (1) Elderly age of the patient (2) OGTT clearance along with normalisation of HbA1c, and (3) High initial insulin dosage at baseline. A few of the common positive predictors of T2D remission documented in earlier studies include younger age and minimal or low doses of insulin. The current case study shows that older age and higher dosage of insulin, it is possible to undergo complete T2D remission along with OGTT clearance through intense holistic lifestyle modification. Future experimental studies with adequate sample sizes would help substantiate our observation.

Abstract
AIM To determine whether continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) can reduce hypoglycaemia in patients with post-bariatric hypoglycaemia (PBH). MATERIALS AND METHODS In an open-label, nonrandomized, pre-post design with sequential assignment, CGM data were collected in 22 individuals with PBH in two sequential phases: (i) masked (no access to sensor glucose or alarms); and (ii) unmasked (access to sensor glucose and alarms for low or rapidly declining sensor glucose). Twelve participants wore the Dexcom G4 device for a total of 28 days, while 10 wore the Dexcom G6 device for a total of 20 days. RESULTS Participants with PBH spent a lower percentage of time in hypoglycaemia over 24 hours with unmasked versus masked CGM (<3.3 mM/L, or <60 mg/dL: median [median absolute deviation {MAD}] 0.7 [0.8]% vs. 1.4 [1.7]%, P = 0.03; <3.9 mM/L, or <70 mg/dL: median [MAD] 2.9 [2.5]% vs. 4.7 [4.8]%; P = 0.04), with similar trends overnight. Sensor glucose data from the unmasked phase showed a greater percentage of time spent between 3.9 and 10 mM/L (70-180 mg/dL) (median [MAD] 94.8 [3.9]% vs. 90.8 [5.2]%; P = 0.004) and lower glycaemic variability over 24 hours (median [MAD] mean amplitude of glycaemic excursion 4.1 [0.98] vs. 4.4 [0.99] mM/L; P = 0.04). During the day, participants also spent a greater percentage of time in normoglycaemia with unmasked CGM (median [MAD] 94.2 [4.8]% vs. 90.9 [6.2]%; P = 0.005), largely due to a reduction in hyperglycaemia (>10 mM/L, or 180 mg/dL: median [MAD] 1.9 [2.2]% vs. 3.9 [3.6]%; P = 0.02). CONCLUSIONS Real-time CGM data and alarms are associated with reductions in low sensor glucose, elevated sensor glucose, and glycaemic variability. This suggests CGM allows patients to detect hyperglycaemic peaks and imminent hypoglycaemia, allowing dietary modification and self-treatment to reduce hypoglycaemia. The use of CGM devices may improve safety in PBH, particularly for patients with hypoglycaemia unawareness.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To assess the remission rate, metabolic changes, and quality of life after bariatric surgery among Saudi patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM). METHODS This cross-sectional study was conducted in 2 main centers in the Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The study included patients with T2DM who underwent either laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) or Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery from 2014 to 2018. The remission rate was defined based on the American Diabetes Association (ADA) and the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) criteria. Quality of life was assessed using the World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL)-BREF. RESULTS A total of 232 patients were included with a mean age of 44.3 ± 10.3 years. 93.4% of the patients had LSG, while only 6.6% had RYGB surgery. Among patients who underwent either LSG or RYGB surgery, there was a significant improvement in metabolic and glycemic markers compared to the baseline. According to the ADA criteria, 48.5% of the patients had complete remission, while 18.9% had partial remission. Overall, 7% of the patients met the IDF optimization criteria, while 5.7% met the IDF improvement criteria. The mean score for all the QOL domains exceeded 63 ± 13, with the environmental and physical health domains having the highest scores. CONCLUSION Among Saudi patients, bariatric surgery was associated with high remission rates and a better quality of life.

Abstract
As diabetes continues to grow as major health problem, there has been great progress in understanding the important role of pancreatic beta-cells in its pathogenesis. Diabetes develops when the normal interplay between insulin secretion and the insulin sensitivity of target tissues is disrupted. With type 2 diabetes (T2D), glucose levels start to rise when beta-cells are unable to meet the demands of insulin resistance. For type 1 diabetes (T1D) glucose levels rise as beta-cells are killed off by autoimmunity. In both cases the increased glucose levels have a toxic effect on beta-cells. This process, called glucose toxicity, has a major inhibitory effect on insulin secretion. This beta-cell dysfunction can be reversed by therapies that reduce glucose levels. Thus, it is becoming increasingly apparent that an opportunity exists to produce a complete or partial remission for T2D, both of which will provide health benefit.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Obesity is a global concern with several health-related complications. Bariatric surgeries are major treatment options in patients with obesity and other comorbidities. This study aims to investigate the effects of sleeve gastrectomy on metabolic indexes, hyperechogenic liver changes, inflammatory state, diabetes, and other obesity-related comorbidities remission after the sleeve gastrectomy. METHODS This prospective study was conducted on patients with obesity candidates for laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. Patients were followed for one year after the surgery. Comorbidities, metabolic and inflammatory parameters were assessed before and one- year after the surgery. RESULTS 137 patients (16 males, 44 in the DM group) underwent sleeve gastrectomy. One year after the study, obesity-related comorbidities improved significantly; diabetes had complete remission in 22.7% and partial remission in 63.6% of patients. Hyper-cholesterolemia, hyper-triglyceridemia, and hyper-uricemia also improved in 45.6%, 91.2%, and 69% of the patients. Metabolic syndrome indexes improved in 17.5% of the patients. Also, the prevalence of hyperechogenic changes in the liver has declined from 21% before the surgery to 1.5% after that. Based on logistic regression analysis, increased levels of HbA1C reduced the chance of diabetes remission by 0.9%. In comparison, every unit of increased BMI before the surgery improved the case of diabetes remission by 16%. CONCLUSION Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy is a safe and effective treatment option in patients with obesity and diabetes. Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy alleviates BMI and insulin resistance and effectively improves other obesity-related comorbidities such as Hypercholesterolemia, hyper-triglyceridemia, hyper-uricemia, and hyperechogenic changes of the liver. HbA1C and BMI before the surgery are notable predictors of diabetes remission within the first year after the surgery.

Abstract
Advances in the understanding of weight regulation provide the framework for the recognition of obesity as a chronic disease. Lifestyle approaches are foundational in the prevention of obesity and should be continued while weight management interventions, including antiobesity medications and metabolic-bariatric procedures, are offered to eligible patients. Clinical challenges remain, however, including overcoming obesity stigma and bias within the medical community toward medical and surgical approaches, ensuring insurance coverage for obesity management (including medications and surgery), and promoting policies that reverse the upward worldwide trend in obesity and adiposity complications in populations.

Abstract
Roux-en-Y gastric-bypass (RYGB) induced alterations in intestinal morphology and gut-cell hormone expression profile in the bypassed biliopancreatic-limb (BPL) versus the alimentary-limbs (AL) are poorly characterised. This pilot study has therefore explored effects following RYGB in high-fat-diet (HFD) and normal-diet (ND) rats. Female Wistar rats (4-week-old) were fed HFD or ND for 23-weeks prior to RYGB or sham surgeries. Immunohistochemical analysis of excised tissue was conducted three-weeks post-surgery. After RYGB, intestinal morphology of the BPL in both HFD and ND groups was unchanged with exception of a small decrease in villi width in the ND-RYGB and crypt depth in the HFD-RYGB group. However, in the AL, villi width was decreased in ND-RYGB rats but increased in the HFD-RYGB group. In addition, crypt depth decreased after RYGB in the AL of HFD rats. GIP positive cells in either limb of both groups of rats were unchanged by RYGB. Similarly, there was little change in GLP-1 positive cells, apart from a small decrease of numbers in the villi of the BPL in HFD rats. RYGB increased GLP-2 cell numbers in the AL of ND-RYGB rats, including in both crypts and villi. This was associated with decreased numbers of cells expressing PYY in the AL of ND-RYGB rats. The BPL appears to maintain normal morphology and unchanged enteroendocrine cell populations despite being bypassed in RYGB-surgery. In contrast, in the AL, villi area is generally enhanced post-RYGB in ND rats with increased numbers of GLP-2 positive cells and decreased expression of PYY.

Effects of bariatric surgery and dietary intervention on insulin resistance and appetite hormones over a 3 year period. Sci Rep 2023; 13:6032.

Abstract
To examine an impact of three types of bariatric surgery compared with dietary intervention (DIET), on concurrent changes in Homeostatic Model Assessment for Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR) and appetite hormones over 3 years. Fifty-five adults were studied during phase of weight loss (0-12 months) and during weight stability (12-36 months) post intervention. Measurements of HOMA-IR, fasting and postprandial PYY and GLP1, adiponectin, CRP, RBP4, FGF21 hormones and dual-Xray absorptiometry were performed throughout the study. All surgical groups achieved significant reductions in HOMA-IR with greatest difference between Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and DIET (- 3.7; 95% CI - 5.4, - 2.1; p = 0.001) at 12-36 months. Initial (0-12 months) HOMA-IR values were no different to DIET after adjustment for the lost weight. During 12-36 months, after controlling for treatment procedure and weight, for every twofold increase in postprandial PYY and adiponectin, HOMA-IR decreased by 0.91 (95% CI - 1.71, - 0.11; p = 0.030) and by 0.59 (95% CI - 1.10, - 0.10; p = 0.023) respectively. Initial, non-sustained changes in RBP4 and FGF21 were not associated with HOMA-IR values. While initial rapid weight loss reduces insulin resistance, the enhanced secretions of PYY and adiponectin may contribute to weight-independent improvements in HOMA-IR during weight stability.Clinical trial registration: Australian New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry (ANZCTR): ACTRN12613000188730.

Abstract
Obesity is a worldwide epidemic and is the second leading cause of preventable death. The approach to treating obesity involves a multidisciplinary approach including lifestyle interventions, pharmacological therapies, and bariatric surgery. Endoscopic interventions are emerging as important tools in the treatment of obesity with primary and revisional bariatric endoscopic therapies. These include intragastric balloons, aspiration therapy, suturing and plication, duodenal-jejunal bypass liners, endoscopic duodenal mucosal resurfacing, and incisionless magnetic anastomosis systems. Endoscopic interventions have also demonstrated efficacy in treating complications of bariatric surgery. Approaches include stenting, endoscopic internal drainage, and endoscopic vacuum-assisted closure. This review aimed to discuss the current endoscopic procedures used as primary and revisional bariatric therapy including those used for managing bariatric surgical complications.

Abstract
Long-term remission of type 2 diabetes following lifestyle intervention or pharmacotherapy, even in patients with mild disease, is rare. Long-term remission following metabolic surgery however, is common and occurs in 23% to 98% depending on disease severity and type of surgery. Remission after surgery is associated with excellent glycemic control without reliance on pharmacotherapy, improvements in quality of life, and major reductions in microvascular and macrovascular complications. For patients with type 2 diabetes, early intervention with metabolic surgery, when beta cell function still remains intact, provides the greatest probability of long-term remission as high as 90% or more.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Majority of the studies comparing Roux en Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and one anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) are non-randomized. Moreover, few randomized studies have focussed on weight loss as the primary outcome rather than the impact on type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This randomized trial compared OABG over RYGB with the hypothesis that OAGB is not inferior to RYGB in terms of remission of T2DM. METHODS This was an open-labelled, randomized trial in which patients having a BMI greater than 30 kg/m2 with T2DM were included. The primary outcome was the remission of T2DM. RESULTS In the study, 25 and 24 patients were recruited in OAGB and RYGB groups respectively. The remission rates of T2DM were similar at all timelines. The highest rate was achieved at 1 year (86.36% vs 85.71%) for both the groups and a 4-year remission rate of (72.22% vs 71.43%), for OAGB vs RYGB respectively. The % EWL was also comparable with the highest rate achieved again at 1 year (69.23% vs 66.67%) and a 4-year rate of (58.33% vs 53.33%), for OAGB vs RYGB respectively. Remission of other co-morbidities, major and minor complication rate, re-admission rate, and nutritional issues were similar in both groups. CONCLUSION OAGB is non-inferior to RYGB in terms of remission of type 2 diabetes mellitus, weight loss, and early and late complications with a shorter operating time.

Association of Baseline Triglyceride-Glucose Index with Poor Glycemic Control and Diabetes Remission After Metabolic Surgery. Obes Surg 2023; 33:164-172. [PMID: 36374378 DOI: 10.1007/s11695-022-06342-z] [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: 06/17/2022] [Revised: 10/14/2022] [Accepted: 10/25/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE The utility of insulin resistance (IR) as a predictor of diabetes remission after metabolic surgery is not well-defined. We assessed the association of baseline surrogate IR indices including triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index and homeostatic model assessment for IR (HOMA-IR) with glycemic control and diabetes remission after metabolic surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients with type 2 diabetes scheduled for metabolic surgery were recruited at a single-center (n = 149; age: 44 ± 10 years, 47.7% men, body mass index: 41.5 ± 7.5 kg/m2), and followed-up for 12 months postoperatively. The relationships between the IR indices and poor glycemic control (HbA1c ≥ 7%) at baseline or complete diabetes remission (HbA1c < 6% without glucose-lowering medications at 12 months) post-surgery were examined. RESULTS Elevated TyG index was associated with poor glycemic control cross-sectionally. Compared with non-remitters, lower baseline TyG index levels were observed in individuals with complete diabetes remission after surgery (P = 0.012); whereas HOMA-IR was not significantly different. Consistently, the proportion of diabetes non-remitters (compared to remitters) increased with increasing TyG tertiles from 1 to 3 (P = 0.015). Both TyG index (relative risk = 0.62, 95% CI = 0.42-0.91, P = 0.014) and TyG tertile 1 (relative risk = 1.99, 95% CI = 1.25-3.24, P = 0.003) independently predicted diabetes remission. The TyG index identified diabetes remission with an area under the curve of 0.68. The optimal TyG threshold was 9.41, yielding a sensitivity of 69.6%, specificity of 60.9%, positive predictive value of 64.0%, and negative predictive value of 66.7%. CONCLUSION TyG index, previously suggested to predominantly reflect muscle IR, outperforms HOMA-IR as an IR indicator associated with glycemic control and diabetes remission after metabolic surgery.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW This manuscript provides a review of post-bariatric hypoglycemia (PBH) with a special focus on the role of the registered dietitian-nutritionist (RDN) and medical nutrition therapy (MNT) recommendations as foundational for management. RECENT FINDINGS As the number of bariatric surgeries rises yearly, with 256,000 performed in 2019, PBH is an increasingly encountered late complication. Following Roux-en-Y (RYGB) or vertical sleeve gastrectomy (VSG), about 1/3 of patients report symptoms suggestive of at least mild postprandial hypoglycemia, with severe and/or medically confirmed hypoglycemia in 1-10%. Anatomical alterations, changes in GLP1 and other intestinally derived hormones, excessive insulin response, reduced insulin clearance, impaired counterregulatory hormone response to hypoglycemia, and other factors contribute to PBH. MNT is the cornerstone of multidisciplinary treatment, with utilization of personal continuous glucose monitoring to improve safety when possible. While many individuals require pharmacotherapy, there are no currently approved medications for PBH. Increasing awareness and identification of individuals at risk for or with PBH is critical given the potential impact on safety, nutrition, and quality of life. A team-based approach involving the individual, the RDN, and other clinicians is essential in providing ongoing assessment and individualization of MNT in the long-term management of PBH.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a complex and under-treated disorder closely intertwined with obesity. Adolescents with severe obesity and type 2 diabetes have a more aggressive disease compared to adults, with a rapid decline in pancreatic β cell function and increased incidence of comorbidities. Given the relative paucity of pharmacotherapies, bariatric surgery has become increasingly used as a therapeutic option. However, subsets of this population have sub-optimal outcomes with either inadequate weight loss or little improvement in disease. Predicting which patients will benefit from surgery is a difficult task and detailed physiological characteristics of patients who do not respond to treatment are generally unknown. Identifying physiological predictors of surgical response therefore has the potential to reveal both novel phenotypes of disease as well as therapeutic targets. We leverage data assimilation paired with mechanistic models of glucose metabolism to estimate pre-operative physiological states of bariatric surgery patients, thereby identifying latent phenotypes of impaired glucose metabolism. Specifically, maximal insulin secretion capacity, σ, and insulin sensitivity, SI, differentiate aberrations in glucose metabolism underlying an individual's disease. Using multivariable logistic regression, we combine clinical data with data assimilation to predict post-operative glycemic outcomes at 12 months. Models using data assimilation sans insulin had comparable performance to models using oral glucose tolerance test glucose and insulin. Our best performing models used data assimilation and had an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.77 (95% confidence interval 0.7665, 0.7734) and mean average precision of 0.6258 (0.6206, 0.6311). We show that data assimilation extracts knowledge from mechanistic models of glucose metabolism to infer future glycemic states from limited clinical data. This method can provide a pathway to predict long-term, post-surgical glycemic states by estimating the contributions of insulin resistance and limitations of insulin secretion to pre-operative glucose metabolism.

Abstract
Purpose In patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) leads to beneficial metabolic adaptations, including enhanced incretin secretion, beta-cell function, and systemic insulin sensitivity. We explored the impact of RYGB on pituitary, pancreatic, gut hormones, and cortisol responses to parenteral and enteral nutrient stimulation in patients with obesity and T2DM with repeated sampling up to 2 years after intervention. Methods We performed exploratory post hoc analyses in a previously reported randomized trial. Levels of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), cortisol, growth hormone (GH), glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1), glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide (GIP), peptide YY (PYY), ACTH, insulin, and glucagon were measured in 13 patients with T2DM and obesity at four different visits: before and 4, 24, and 104 weeks after RYGB; and in three sequential conditions on the same day: fasting, intravenous arginine challenge, and OGTT. Results RYGB surprisingly induced a rise in ACTH, cortisol, and GH levels upon an oral glucose load, together with enhanced GLP-1 and PYY responses. Fasting and post-arginine GH levels were higher after RYGB, whereas insulin, glucagon, GLP-1, GIP, and cortisol were lower. These endocrine adaptations were seen as early as 4 weeks after surgery and were maintained for up to 2 years. Conclusion These findings indicate adaptations of glucose sensing mechanisms and responses in multiple endocrine organs after RYGB, involving the gut, pancreatic islets, the pituitary gland, the adrenals, and the brain.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a complex progressive disease leading to chronic hyperglycemia due to insulin resistance and pancreatic beta-cell failure. Intensification of treatment regimens is often necessary due to the overall decline in insulin secretion. Unfortunately, many patients are unable to achieve optimal glycemic control despite the standard of care and thus may be classified as 'treatment resistant'. AREAS COVERED Newer pharmacotherapeutic agents, either injectable or oral, such as Glucagon-like-peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RA) and Sodium-glucose Cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are, herein, described. These agents can be used as single agents or fixed combinations that reduce glycemia while lessening the risk for hypoglycemia and renal and cardiovascular diseases. EXPERT OPINION If individualized target HbA1c is not obtained despite diet, lifestyle, and metformin therapy, then additional oral and injectable therapies should be considered. This may include newer agents such as GLP-1RA and SGLT2 inhibitors alone or in combination that provide renal protection and reduce cardiovascular and hypoglycemic risks. These newer agents have substantial potential for lowering HbA1c through differing but complementary mechanisms. Use of new insulin analogs with GLP-1RA preparations either alone or in fixed-ratio combinations, such as glargine/lixisenatide and degludec/liraglutide, can also reduce the multiple drug adherence burden while improving glycemic control.

Nutr Metab Cardiovasc Dis 2022; 32:1335-1342. [PMID: 35365370 DOI: 10.1016/j.numecd.2022.02.019] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/18/2022] [Revised: 02/21/2022] [Accepted: 02/27/2022] [Indexed: 10/18/2022]
Abstract
AIMS Long-term clinical trials evaluating the effects of metabolic-bariatric surgery (MBS) on type 2 diabetes (T2D) demonstrate that a significant proportion of patients either fail to achieve remission or experience T2D recurrence over time. Furthermore, patients with recurrent T2D might require reinstitution of pharmacotherapy to control comorbidities (hypertension, dyslipidemia). This paper reviews therapeutic options in patients with T2D relapse. DATA SYNTHESIS Although presently there is no recommended pharmacological strategy, the available data support GLP-1 analogues (GLP-1a) as the most suitable option to control hyperglycemia post-MBS. Beside their efficacy in lowering glycemia and body weight while preserving lean mass, GLP-1a exert cardiovascular/renal-protection and are also safe and well tolerated in surgical patients. In addition, the s.c. route of administration of these medications circumvents the problem of changes in oral drugs bioavailability following MBS. Of note, the available data refers to liraglutide and needs to be confirmed with weekly GLP-1a agents. Information regarding the impact of MBS on the pharmacokinetics of lipid lowering and anti-hypertensive drugs is scarce and inconclusive. The findings indicate that timing from intervention is particularly important because of adaptive intestinal mechanisms. CONCLUSIONS The recurrence of T2D following MBS is a clinically relevant issue. GLP-1a therapy represents the best option to improve glycemic and weight control with good tolerability. Long-term clinical trials will clarify the impact of these drugs on cardiovascular outcomes. A close monitoring of MBS patients is advised to guide drug dosage adjustments and ensure the control of cardiovascular risk factors.

Abstract
A durable normoglycemic state was observed in several studies that treated type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients through metabolic surgery, intensive therapeutic intervention, or significant lifestyle modification, and it was confirmed that the functional β-cell mass was also restored to a normal level. Therefore, expert consensus introduced the concept of remission as a common term to express this phenomenon in 2009. Throughout this article, we introduce the recently updated consensus statement on the remission of T2DM in 2021 and share our perspective on the remission of diabetes. There is a need for more research on remission in Korea as well as in Western countries. Remission appears to be prompted by proactive treatment for hyperglycemia and significant weight loss prior to irreversible β-cell changes. T2DM is not a diagnosis for vulnerable individuals to helplessly accept. We attempt to explain how remission of T2DM can be achieved through a personalized approach. It may be necessary to change the concept of T2DM towards that of an urgent condition that requires rapid intervention rather than a chronic, progressive disease. We must grasp this paradigm shift in our understanding of T2DM for the benefit of our patients as endocrine experts.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In 2017, the prevalence of obesity (BMI ≥= 30 kg/m2) in Germany was approximately 16%. Obesity increases an individual's risk of developing type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and arterial hypertension; it also increases overall mortality. Consequently, effective treatment is a necessity. Approximately 20 000 bariatric operations are performed in Germany each year. METHODS This review is based on pertinent publications retrieved by a selective search in the PubMed and Cochrane databases and on current German clinical practice guidelines. RESULTS The types of obesity surgery most commonly performed in Germany, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy, lead to an excess weight loss of 27-69% ≥= 10 years after the procedure. In obese patients with T2DM, the diabetes remission rate ≥= 10 years after these procedures ranges from 25% to 62%. Adjusted regression analyses of data from large registries have shown that the incidence of malignancies is 33% lower in persons who have undergone obesity surgery compared to control subjects with obesity (unadjusted incidence 5.6 versus 9.0 cases per 1000 person-years). The operation can cause vitamin deficiency, surgical complications, gastroesophageal reflux, and dumping syndrome. Therefore, lifelong follow-up is necessary. CONCLUSION In view of an increasing number of patients undergoing bariatric surgery, it will probably not be feasible in the future for lifelong follow-up to be provided exclusively in specialized centers.

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 complex metabolic condition considered a worldwide public health crisis, and a deeper mechanistic understanding of obesity-associated diseases is urgently needed. Obesity comorbidities include many associated cancers and are estimated to account for 20% of female cancer deaths in the USA. Breast cancer, in particular, is associated with obesity and is the focus of this review. The exact causal links between obesity and breast cancer remain unclear. Still, interactions have emerged between body mass index, tumor molecular subtype, genetic background, and environmental factors that strongly suggest obesity influences the risk and progression of certain breast cancers. Supportive preclinical research uses various diet-induced obesity models to demonstrate that weight loss, via dietary interventions or changes in energy expenditure, reduces the onset or progression of breast cancers. Ongoing and future studies are now aimed at elucidating the underpinning mechanisms behind weight-loss-driven observations to improve therapy and outcomes in patients with breast cancer and reduce risk. This review aims to summarize the rapidly emerging literature on obesity and weight loss strategies with a focused discussion of bariatric surgery in both clinical and preclinical studies detailing the complex interactions between metabolism, immune response, and immunotherapy in the setting of obesity and breast cancer.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Obesity is a chronic, multifactorial condition with devastating health consequences. It was thought that obesity could be controlled with discipline and lifestyle changes, but we now know that the underlying pathophysiology is a dysregulation of the body's energy balance system, controlled by a complex interplay of neural, hormonal, and metabolic pathways. Recognizing obesity as a chronic disease places a greater responsibility on all health care professionals to screen and identify patients at risk and develop long-term tailored treatment plans. AREAS COVERED This narrative review describes the central and peripheral pathways regulating obesity, the factors contributing to its development and how to effectively manage this disease. EXPERT OPINION Obesity is a disease with pathophysiologic mechanisms and should be treated accordingly to reduce the significant risk of morbidity and mortality. Lifestyle interventions remain the cornerstones of treatment; however, these measures alone are rarely enough for long-term maintenance of weight loss. Additional interventions, such as pharmacotherapy or bariatric surgery, are indicated for many patients and should be recommended. Treatment considerations should include assessment of comorbidities or risk factors, as many anti-obesity agents and bariatric surgeries also have beneficial effects on other weight-associated comorbidities.Plain language summary: This plain language summary highlights information from a recent scientific article about obesity. Obesity is a disease that leads to excess accumulation of body fat that may negatively affect health. People can check if they have obesity by measuring their body mass index (BMI for short). The BMI is a screening tool to see if you are at risk of obesity. Obesity is defined as a BMI of 30 kg/m2 or higher with lower cut-offs in Asian populations. Obesity is a chronic health condition that leads to a shorter life span. People with obesity have a higher chance of having other health conditions, such as type 2 diabetes, fatty liver disease, heart disease, kidney problems, osteoarthritis, and some types of cancer. It can be hard for people with obesity to lose weight for various reasons. The aim of this article is to help doctors who treat people with obesity understand more about the causes for obesity, as well as the available treatment options, which include lifestyle changes, medicines, and for some people, weight loss surgery.[Figure: see text][Figure: see text][Figure: see text][Figure: see text].
