Abstract
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), the most common chronic hepatic disease, has become a leading health problem worldwide. The present review summarized the methods and mechanisms to treat NAFLD, including the Mediterranean diet, physical activity and exercise, bariatric surgery and specific therapeutic agents, including statins, peroxisome proliferator‑activated receptor agonists, cenicriviroc and farnesoid X receptor agonists. Biologically active substances, such as peptides, alkaloids, polyphenolic compounds, silymarin, antibiotics, fatty acids, vitamins, probiotics, synbiotics and lamiaceae have also demonstrated actions that combat NAFLD. Considering their different mechanisms of action, combining some of them may prove an efficacious treatment for NAFLD. In this light, the present review describes recent progress and future prospects in treating NAFLD.

Consequences of the exposome to gestational diabetes mellitus. Biochim Biophys Acta Gen Subj 2023; 1867:130282.

Abstract
The exposome is the cumulative measure of environmental influences and associated biological responses throughout the lifespan, including those from the environment, diet, behaviour, and endogenous processes. The exposome concept and the 2030 Agenda for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) from the United Nations are the basis for understanding the aetiology and consequences of non-communicable diseases, including gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Pregnancy may be developed in an environment with adverse factors part of the immediate internal medium for fetus development and the external medium to which the pregnant woman is exposed. The placenta is the interface between maternal and fetal compartments and acts as a protective barrier or easing agent to transfer exposome from mother to fetus. Under and over-nutrition in utero, exposure to adverse environmental pollutants such as heavy metals, endocrine-disrupting chemicals, pesticides, drugs, pharmaceuticals, lifestyle, air pollutants, and tobacco smoke plays a determinant role in the development of GDM. This phenomenon is worsened by metabolic stress postnatally, such as obesity which increases the risk of GDM and other diseases. Clinical risk factors for GDM development include its aetiology. It is proposed that knowledge-based interventions to change the potential interdependent ecto-exposome and endo-exposome could avoid the occurrence and consequences of GDM.

Abstract
Weight loss is a therapeutic solution for many metabolic disorders, such as obesity and its complications. Bariatric surgery aims to achieve lasting weight loss in all patients who have failed after multiple dietary attempts. Among its many benefits, it has been associated with the regression of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), which is often associated with obesity, with evidence of substantial improvement in tissue inflammation and fibrosis. These benefits are mediated not only by weight loss, but also by favorable changes in systemic inflammation and in the composition of the gut microbiota. Changes in microbial metabolites such as short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), capable of acting as endocrine mediators, and bile acids (BAs) as well as modifications of the gut-brain axis, are among the involved mechanisms. However, not all bariatric surgeries show beneficial effects on the liver; those leading to malabsorption can cause liver failure or a marked worsening of fibrosis and the development of cirrhosis. Nevertheless, there are still many unclear aspects, including the extent of the benefits and the magnitude of the risks of bariatric surgery in cirrhotic patients. In addition, the usefulness and the safety of these procedures in patients who are candidates to or who have undergone liver transplant need solid supporting evidence. This paper aims to review literature data on the use of bariatric surgery in the setting of chronic liver disease.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a metabolic liver disorder commonly attributed to fatty acid deposition that can induce hepatic necroinflammation, defined as nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). It is strongly associated with obesity. Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is a favorable surgical modality for the treatment of morbid obesity. AIM Our study evaluated the impact of LSG on patients with NAFLD and morbid obesity, 3 months after the operation, through clinical and biochemical characteristics, clinico-biochemical indices, and imaging parameters. PATIENTS AND METHODS Morbidly obese patients with NAFLD±NASH underwent LSG. They were thoroughly evaluated clinically (body weight, body mass index, waist circumference) and biochemically (transaminases and triglycerides), as well as through the fatty liver index (FLI), the hepatic steatosis index (HSI), and ultrasound elastography imaging studies (liver stiffness measurement [LSM] and the controlled attenuation parameter [CAP]), before and 3 months after the LSG. RESULTS Twenty-six obese patients with NAFLD underwent LSG that resulted in a significantly high reduction in all the parameters analyzed, except for liver transaminases. CONCLUSION LSG is considered an efficient surgical modality for the treatment of morbidly obese patients with NAFLD.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is viewed as the hepatic manifestation of the metabolic syndrome with hepatic fatty infiltration is the common liver pathology. NAFLD can lead to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), liver cirrhosis, liver cell failure, and liver malignancy.The present work aims to prospectively study the histological changes that occur in NAFLD obese patients 1-year post-laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) based on standardized NAS (NAFLD activity score). PATIENTS This prospective study included 94 obese patients who underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. Intraoperative wedge liver biopsy was taken from all patients with a follow-up liver biopsy at 12 months after the operation. RESULTS LSG produced a marked reduction in body weight with a mean reduction in BMI from 44.54 + 5.45 to 34.23 + 2.66 kg/m2 at 12 months. There were statistically highly significant improvements regarding metabolic comorbidities, blood pressure, lipid profile, and HbA1C at 12-month post-LSG (P < 0.001). The current study showed a highly statistically significant improvement at 1-year post LSG regarding steatosis grade, hepatocyte ballooning, lobular inflammation as well as fibrosis stage (P < 0.001). Moreover, the present study showed that NAS score significantly decreased from 5.20 + 1.96 at baseline to 2.63 + 1.55 at 1-year follow-up (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION Our relatively large patient cohort shows a significant improvement of steatosis, steatohepatitis, and fibrosis at a 1-year follow-up. LSG can lead to resolution of NAFLD, and it may be in the near future another routine indication for bariatric surgery.

Abstract
Background
: Bariatric surgery promotes significant weight loss and
improvement of associated comorbidities; however, nutrients deficiencies and
weight regain may occur in the middle-late postoperative period.
Aim:
To investigate nutritional status in 10 years follow-up.
Methods
: Longitudinal retrospective study in which anthropometric,
biochemical indicators and nutritional intake were assessed before and after
one, two, three, four, five and ten years of Roux-en Y gastric bypass
through analysis of medical records.
Results
: After ten years there was a reduction of 29.2% of initial
weight; however, 87.1% of patients had significant weight regain. Moreover,
there was an increase of incidence of iron (9.2% to 18.5%), vitamin B12
(4.2% to 11.1%) and magnesium deficiency (14.1% to 14.8%). Folic acid
concentrations increased and the percentage of individuals with glucose
(40.4% to 3.7%), triglycerides (38% to 7.4%), HDL cholesterol (31 % to 7.4%)
and uric acid (70.5% to 11.1%) abnormalities reduced. Also, there is a
reduction of food intake at first year postoperative. After 10 years, there
was an increase in energy, protein and lipid intake, also a reduction in
folid acid intake.
Conclusions
: Roux-en Y gastric bypass is an effective procedure to
promote weight loss and improve comorbidities associated with obesity.
However, comparison between postoperative period of five and 10 years showed
a high prevalence of minerals deficiency and a significant weight regain,
evidencing the need for nutritional follow-up in the postoperative
period.

Body weight-dependent and independent improvement in lipid metabolism after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass in ApoE*3Leiden.CETP mice. Int J Obes (Lond) 2019; 43:2394-2406.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES The incidence of obesity and metabolic syndrome (MetS) has rapidly increased worldwide. Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) achieves long-term weight loss and improves MetS-associated comorbidities. Using a mouse model with a humanized lipoprotein metabolism, we elucidated whether improvements in lipid and glucose metabolism after RYGB surgery are body weight loss-dependent or not. SUBJECTS/METHODS Male ApoE*3Leiden.CETP (ApoE3L.CETP) mice fed Western type diet for 6 weeks underwent RYGB or Sham surgery. Sham groups were either fed ad libitum or were body weight-matched (BWm) to the RYGB mice to discriminate surgical effects from body weight loss-associated effects. Before and after surgery, plasma was collected to assess the metabolic profile, and glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity were tested. Twenty days after surgery, mice were sacrificed, and liver was collected to assess metabolic, histological and global gene expression changes after surgery. RESULTS RYGB induced a marked reduction in body weight, which was also achieved by severe food restriction in BWm mice, and total fat mass compared to Sham ad libitum mice (Sham AL). Total cholesterol, non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C) and ceramide were strongly reduced 20 days after surgery in RYGB compared to BWm mice. Glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity improved 13 days after surgery similarly in RYGB and BWm mice. Liver histology confirmed lipid reduction in RYGB and BWm mice while the transcriptomics data indicated altered genes expression in lipid metabolism. CONCLUSIONS RYGB surgery improves glucose metabolism and greatly ameliorates lipid metabolism in part in a body weight-dependent manner. Given that ApoE3L.CETP mice were extensively studied to describe the MetS, and given that RYGB improved ceramide after surgery, our data confirmed the usefulness of ApoE3L.CETP mice after RYGB in deciphering the metabolic improvements to treat the MetS.

Abstract
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common cause of liver injury and seriously affects human health. In the present study, we aimed to investigate whether adipose tissue-derived stem cell (ADSC) transplantation in combination with dietary modification was capable of reversing the progression of NAFLD. After establishing a rat model of NAFLD by feeding them a high-fat diet (HFD), ADSCs were transplanted via the portal vein into rats with HFD-induced NAFLD, and simultaneously fed a modified diet. Thereafter, gross liver morphology, the hepatosomatic (HSI) index and indicators of liver function, including alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and total bilirubin (TBIL) were evaluated. Subsequently, the serum levels of total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TGs) and fatty acids (FAs) were also assayed. Furthermore, H&E and oil red O staining were used to confirm the pathological effects of NAFLD in the rat livers. Although dietary modification alone caused liver function to recover, ADSC transplantation in combination with dietary modification further decreased the HSI index, the serum levels of ALT, TBIL, TC, TGs, FAs, reduced lipid accumulation to normal levels, and reversed the hepatic pathological changes in the rat livers. Taken together, these findings suggest that ADSC transplantation assists in the reversion of NAFLD by improving liver function and promoting lipid metabolism, thereby exerting hepatoprotective effects. Thus, we suggest that ADSC transplantation is a promising, potential therapeutic strategy for NAFLD treatment.

Abstract
Background: Elevated serum aminotransferase levels are commonly associated with obesity and with a progression to chronic liver disease. Bariatric surgery is the most effective strategy to achieve weight loss. Methods: We conducted the present study with the aim of evaluating the influence of biliopancreatic diversion (BPD) on liver enzymes levels during 4 years in morbid obese patients with normal aminotransferase (n = 65) and in morbid obese patients with high aminotransferase basal levels (n = 50). Results: A decrease in alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase activities was significant after biliopancreatic diversion. The basal percentage of high aminotransferase levels and percentage of ratio ALT/AST <1 also decreased significantly at 1-, 2-, 3- and 4-years of follow-up in both groups. ALT (52 to 20%), AST (42 to 10%) and ALT/AST (80 to 22%) in patients with normal aminotransferase. ALT (82 to 20%), AST (70 to 6%) and ALT/AST (90 to 20%) in patients with elevated transaminase basal levels. Bariatric surgery was associated with a significant and sustained decrease in body weight in both groups. Serum trasnaminases level changes were positively correlated to body weight changes during follow-up. Conclusion: BPD is an effective method of achieving sustainable weight loss and reduced aminotransferase levels and enzyme ratios of liver damage.

Abstract
This corrects the article DOI: 10.4103/1319-3767.141684. In the article, “The Effect of Bariatric Surgeries on Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease”, which appeared in the pages 270-278, Issue 5, Vol 20 of The Saudi Journal of Gastroenterology,[1] the name of the author and her affiliation is missing. The name of the author is “Tamader A. Aldoheyan” and her institute is “Department of Surgery, College of Medicine, King Khalid University Hospital, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia”. Therefore the author name sequence should be as “Mazen Hassanian, Amnah Al‑Mulhim, Atheer Al‑Sabhan, Shaden Al‑Amro, Fahad Bamehriz, Ayman Abdo1, Hisham Al Khalidi, Tamader A. Aldoheyan” and their respective affiliation should be as following: Department of Surgery, College of Medicine, King Khalid University Hospital, 1Liver Disease Research Center, King Saud University, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The correct “How to cite this article” section should read as “Hassanian M, Al-Mulhim A, Al-Sabhan A, Al-Amro S, Bamehriz F, Abdo A, Al Khalidi H, Aldoheyan TA. The effect of bariatric surgeries on nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. Saudi J Gastroenterol 2014;20:270-8.” These have now been corrected and reposted online.
