Abstract
(1) Background: studies have shown that some patients experience mental deterioration after bariatric surgery. (2) Methods: We examined whether the use of probiotics and improved eating habits can improve the mental health of people who suffered from mood disorders after bariatric surgery. We also analyzed patients' mental states, eating habits and microbiota. (3) Results: Depressive symptoms were observed in 45% of 200 bariatric patients. After 5 weeks, we noted an improvement in patients' mental functioning (reduction in BDI and HRSD), but it was not related to the probiotic used. The consumption of vegetables and whole grain cereals increased (DQI-I adequacy), the consumption of simple sugars and SFA decreased (moderation DQI-I), and the consumption of monounsaturated fatty acids increased it. In the feces of patients after RYGB, there was a significantly higher abundance of two members of the Muribaculaceae family, namely Veillonella and Roseburia, while those after SG had more Christensenellaceae R-7 group, Subdoligranulum, Oscillibacter, and UCG-005. (4) Conclusions: the noted differences in the composition of the gut microbiota (RYGB vs. SG) may be one of the determinants of the proper functioning of the gut-brain microbiota axis, although there is currently a need for further research into this topic using a larger group of patients and different probiotic doses.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The FUT2 gene (Se gene) encoding the enzyme α-1,2-L-fucosyltransferase 2 seems to have a significant effect on the number and type of bacteria colonizing the intestines. METHODS In a group of 19 patients after bariatric surgery, the polymorphism (rs601338) of FUT2 gene was analyzed in combination with body mass reduction, intestinal microbiome (16S RNA sequencing), and short chain fatty acids (SCFA) measurements in stools. RESULTS Among the secretors (Se/Se polymorphism of the FUT2 gene rs601338, carriers of GG variant), correlations between waist-hip ratio (WHR) and propionate content and an increase in Prevotella, Escherichia, Shigella, and Bacteroides were observed. On the other hand-in non-secretors (carriers of GA and AA variants)-higher abundance of Enterobacteriaceae, Ruminococcaceae, Enterobacteriaceae, Clostridiales was recorded. CONCLUSIONS The increased concentrations of propionate observed among the GG variants of FUT 2 may be used as an additional source of energy for the patient and may have a higher risk of increasing the WHR than carriers of the other variants (GA and AA).

Abstract
Background The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of sleeve gastrectomy (SG) and Roux-en-Y-bypass (RYGB) on anthropometric and biochemical parameters, including changes in glucose levels, lipid profile and liver function. Drastic decrease in all lipid fractions a few weeks or months after the surgery could be regarded as favourable, but low level of HDL is an independent risk factor for heart diseases. Extreme load on the liver without preparation of the patient to the surgery can have negative consequences. Methods The test group comprised of 40 female patients at the age of 42.96 with average body weight of 131.56 kg and BMI 46.49. Biochemical analyses were performed using calorimetric method. Results No statistically significant differences were observed in glucose levels between the two types of procedures. The highest differences were noted for triglycerides levels, which decreased, as well as all cholesterol fractions, after RYGB, but were increasing during the first months after SG procedure. Changes in lipid profile, caused by the reduction of all lipid fractions, were more visible after RYGB. The decrease in total cholesterol directly and activity of liver enzymes after the procedure was as higher after RYGB as after SG. Increased activity of transaminases indicates significant liver overload. Conclusions With the selection of groups of patients with similar initial parameters, it is not clear whether the differences between the two procedures when assessing the improvement of glycaemia are significant. However, due to invasive character of RYGB, liver overload lasting several months and lifelong limited absorption of nutrients, the possibility of SG procedure should be considered as a first option.

Abstract
The degree of insulin receptor kinase activation by in situ stimulation was studied in isolated human adipocytes. Although maximal in situ stimulation increased the kinase activity approximately 10-fold, this activity could again be doubled by subsequent activation in a cell-free system. To investigate how in situ stimulation resulted in incomplete activation, receptors binding or not binding to anti-phosphotyrosine antibody (alpha-PY) were studied separately. Even after maximal insulin stimulation of the cells, approximately 50% of the receptors did not bind to alpha-PY and had low kinase activity. In the cell-free system, however, these receptors reached activity levels similar to the other receptors, suggesting that they were intact and that factors in their cellular environment had prevented their activation. The activity of the alpha-PY-binding receptors could only be slightly increased in the cell-free system, suggesting that almost complete activation had been attained in situ. In situ stimulation with increasing insulin concentrations increased the number of activated receptors rather than their individual activity. We conclude that factors in the in situ environment prevent insulin activation of approximately 50% of the insulin receptors in human adipocytes and might therefore be important regulators of insulin signaling.

Abstract
A sensitive microtiter well-based assay for the measurement of insulin activation of insulin receptor kinase in intact human circulating mononuclear cells has been developed and characterized. Mononuclear cells from 100-150 ml blood were incubated with various insulin concentrations to activate the receptor kinase. The cells were then solubilized in the presence of phosphatase and kinase inhibitors and the receptors immobilized to microwells coated with anti-insulin receptor antibody (efficiency of receptor immobilization > 85%). Receptor kinase activity and binding activity were then consecutively measured in the same wells. Insulin incubation of the cells increased the kinase activity three- to fourfold with a half-maximal effect at 5 nM and a maximal effect at 87 nM. In mononuclear cells from 16 subjects with NIDDM, the insulin effect on receptor kinase activation was significantly reduced compared with 16 nondiabetic control subjects (0.135 +/- 0.016 vs. 0.195 +/- 0.024 fmol P.fmol binding activity-1 x min-1, respectively; P < 0.05). We conclude that; 1) it is possible to determine insulin activation of receptor kinase in intact cells in this easily accessible human tissue; 2) insulin activation of insulin receptor kinase is impaired in intact mononuclear cells from patients with NIDDM; and 3) the finding that kinase activation in NIDDM is reduced in a tissue that, according to the literature, contains only the A isoform of the insulin receptor, suggests that mechanisms other than a different abundance of the A and B insulin receptor isoforms must exist that contribute to the decreased kinase activity in NIDDM.
