Abstract

The objective of the study was to assess Roux-en-Y independent-to-weight metabolic effects on an obese Gottingen minipig. Eleven castrated Göttingen minipigs were enrolled. Minipigs became obese after a 9-month period of experimental diet. The animals were then subjected to a laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (period P1) followed by 4 months of follow-up (period P2). During this last period, they were fed to maintain similar body weight to that observed at the day of surgery. Registered parameters during each period included biometric variables; abdominal adipose tissue (AT) distribution; lipid profile; HOMA-IR; and fasting plasma leptin, adiponectin, glucose, insulin and fructosamine. Two pigs were unable to complete the study due to postoperative complications. Four months after surgery, the body weight (kg) was maintained (P1 51.90 ± 5.78 vs P2 51.47 ± 5.68). On the contrary, intraperitoneal AT (p < 0.0001), glucose (mmol/L) (P1: 5.53 ± 0.37 vs 4.66 ± 0.72, p = 0.019), fructosamine (μmol/L) (p = 0.0001) and insulin (pmol/L) (P1: 36.66 ± 13.94 vs P2: 21.42 ± 12.62, p = 0.001) significantly decreased after surgery. Lipid profile showed a significant increase after high-fat feeding period and a slight reduction at P2, which continued increasing. At the end of the study, leptin plasma levels (ng/mL) showed a significant reduction compared to basal value (p = 0.001). The improvement in glucose metabolism seems to occur by means of the redistribution of body fat. In order to fully confirm this hypothesis, more studies including the evaluation of incretins and inflammatory molecules, as well as a glycaemia control study against glucose load, are needed.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 25 May 2016.
All research outputs
#15,374,585
of 22,873,031 outputs
Outputs from Obesity Surgery
#2,065
of 3,375 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#198,884
of 323,288 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Obesity Surgery
#43
of 85 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,873,031 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 22nd percentile – i.e., 22% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,375 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.7. This one is in the 28th percentile – i.e., 28% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 323,288 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 30th percentile – i.e., 30% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 85 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 38th percentile – i.e., 38% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
