Project description:In this study we sought to characterize the acute response to RYGB surgery using diet induced obese mice. Controls were sham operated mice. Mice were age, sex, weight and diet matched.

Project description:We investigated the effects of RYGB compared to a sham surgery or caloric restriction on hepatic function. For that, the goals of this study is to identify changes in the liver transcriptome profiling (RNA-seq) that could explain improvements in liver health and function with RYGB compared to other treatment methods.
Project description:4 Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats (275-350 g) were anesthetized and subjected to hepatectomy sham surgery (abdominal cavity was opened, liver was handled, but no tissue resection was made). 1 hour after the surgery rats were killed and liver samples were harvested. This study was conducted to analyzes the effects of surgical stress on gene expression levels in rat liver. It provides additional data to 1-6 h partial hepatectomy study (Series GSE7415). Keywords: 1h hepatectomy sham surgery
Project description:Profiling of N-linked glycoproteomes in rat lymph before and after gastric bypass surgery. The cohort consisted of 68 lymph samples originating from rats before and after gastric bypass surgery (RYGB) or placebo surgery (SHAM). Samples were collected from rats before, 5 days, 10 days and 21 days after the operation. The samples for this study were processed using a Versette automated liquid handling system (ThermoFisher Scientific) in a 96-well plate format. The samples were measured in label free DDA mode and glycopeptides were quantified using Progenesis (Nonlinear Dynamics).
Project description:We used gene expression microarray to understand the gene expression changes in skeletal muscle one year follow RYGB weight loss surgery.
Project description:Objective: Roux-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery is a last treatment resort to induce substantial and sustained weight loss in severe obesity. The anatomical rearrangement affects the intestinal microbiota but so far, little information is available how it interferes with microbial functionality and microbial-host interaction independent from weight loss. Design: A RYGB rat model was utilized and compared to sham-operated controls which were kept at matched body weight as RYGB animals by food restriction. We assessed microbial taxonomy by 16S rRNA gene sequencing and functional activity by metaproteomics and metabolomics on microbiota samples collected separately from the ileum, the cecum as well as the colon and separately analysed the lumen and mucus associated microbiota. Results: Altered gut architecture in RYGB strongly affected the occurrence of Actinobacteria, especially Bifidobacteriaceae and Proteobacteria which were increased, whereas Firmicutes were decreased, although Streptococcaceae and Clostridium perfringens were observed at higher abundances. A decrease of conjugated as well as secondary bile acids was observed in the RYGB-gut lumen. In addition the arginine biosynthesis pathway in the microbiota was altered, indicated by the changes in abundance of upstream metabolites and enzymes, resulting in lower levels of arginine and higher levels of aspartate in the colon after RYGB. Conclusion: The anatomical rearrangement in RYGB affects microbiota composition and functionality by changes in amino acid and bile acid metabolism, independent of weight loss. The shift in microbiota taxonomic structure after RYGB may be mediated by the resulting change in composition of the bile acid pool in the gut lumen.
Project description:We reported that skeletal muscle insulin sensitivity was restored to a lean phenotype with exercise training in patients undergoing RYGB surgery. For that, the goals of this study is to identify changes in the skeletal muscle transcriptome profiling (RNA-seq) that could explain the insulin sensitivity improvement of RYGB + exercise training group.
