Association of Metabolomic Biomarkers with Sleeve Gastrectomy Weight Loss Outcomes.

ABSTRACT: This prospective observational study aimed to evaluate the association of metabolomic alterations with weight loss outcomes following sleeve gastrectomy (SG). We evaluated the metabolomic profile of serum and feces prior to SG and three months post-SG, along with weight loss outcomes in 45 adults with obesity. The percent total weight loss for the highest versus the lowest weight loss tertiles (T3 vs. T1) was 17.0 ± 1.3% and 11.1 ± 0.8%, p < 0.001. Serum metabolite alterations specific to T3 at three months included a decrease in methionine sulfoxide concentration as well as alterations to tryptophan and methionine metabolism (p < 0.03). Fecal metabolite changes specific to T3 included a decrease in taurine concentration and perturbations to arachidonic acid metabolism, and t
