Abstract
Background:
The Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is a common bariatric surgery to treat obesity. Its metabolic consequences are favourable and long-term clinical corollaries beneficial. However, detailed assessments of various affected metabolic pathways and their mediating physiological factors are scarce.
Methods:
We performed a clinical study with 30 RYGB patients in preoperative and 6-month postoperative visits. NMR metabolomics was applied to profiling of systemic metabolism via 80 molecular traits, representing core cardiometabolic pathways. Glucose, glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c), insulin, and apolipoprotein B-48 were measured with standard assays. Logistic regression models of the surgery effect were used for each metabolic measure and assessed individually for multiple mediating physiological factors.
Results:
Changes in insulin concentrations reflected those of BMI with robust decreases due to the surgery. Six months after the surgery, triglycerides, remnant cholesterol, and apolipoprotein B-100 were decreased −24%, −18%, and −14%, respectively. Lactate and glycoprotein acetyls, a systemic inflammation biomarker, decreased −16% and −9%, respectively. The concentrations of branched-chain (BCAA; leucine, isoleucine, and valine) and aromatic (phenylalanine and tyrosine) amino acids decreased after the surgery between −17% for tyrosine and −23% for leucine. Except for the most prominent metabolic changes observed for the BCAAs, all changes were almost completely mediated by weight change and insulin. Glucose and type 2 diabetes had clearly weaker effects on the metabolic changes.
Conclusions:
The comprehensive metabolic analyses indicate that weight loss and improved insulin sensitivity during the 6 months after the RYGB surgery are the key physiological outcomes mediating the short-term advantageous metabolic effects of RYGB.
The clinical study was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov as NCT01330251.
