Trial summary

This study compares the improvement of weight, fasting lipid profile (triglycerides, cholesterol, HDL, and LDL) and diabetes after gastric bypass surgery with an improvement in levels of an enzyme called glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD). Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Erythrocyte and Adipocyte G6PD Activity Levels Correlate With Differing Degrees of Dyslipidemia, Insulin Resistance and Obesity

This study compares the improvement of weight, fasting lipid profile (triglycerides, cholesterol, HDL, and LDL) and diabetes after gastric bypass surgery with an improvement in levels of an enzyme called glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD).

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Measure Erythrocyte G6PD Levels in Diabetic vs. Non-diabetic Morbidly Obese Patients Undergoing Laparoscopic Gastric Bypass.

    G6PD levels will be measured various time intervals. G6PD is the rate limiting enzyme of the pentose phosphate pathway that provides NADPH required for lipid synthesis. G6PD overexpression is implicated in insulin resistance, hyperlipidemia and increases in oxidative stress.

    Measured: G6PD levels will be measured at the following time intervals: Baseline(prior to gastric bypass surgery), 1 week, 6 weeks, and 12 weeks post surgery.

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Measure Adipocyte G6PD Levels in Diabetic vs. Non-diabetic Morbidly Obese Patients Undergoing Laparoscopic Gastric Bypass.

    G6PD levels will be measured various time intervals. G6PD is the rate limiting enzyme of the pentose phosphate pathway that provides NADPH required for lipid synthesis. G6PD overexpression is implicated in insulin resistance, hyperlipidemia and increases in oxidative stress.

    Measured: G6PD levels will be measured at the following time intervals: Baseline(prior to gastric bypass surgery), 1 week, 6 weeks, and 12 weeks post surgery.

  2. Measure Omentum G6PD Levels in Diabetic vs. Non-diabetic Morbidly Obese Patients Undergoing Laparoscopic Gastric Bypass.

    Measured: time of gastric bypass

  3. Measure Hepatocyte G6PD Levels in Diabetic vs. Non-diabetic Morbidly Obese Patients Undergoing Laparoscopic Gastric Bypass.

    Measured: time of gastric bypass

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Diabetes and Obesity, run by University of South Alabama at 2 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 May 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 16 May 2024). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Measure Erythrocyte G6PD Levels in Diabetic vs. Non-diabetic Morbidly Obese Patients Undergoing Laparoscopic Gastric Bypass. (time frame: G6PD levels will be measured at the following time intervals: Baseline(prior to gastric bypass surgery), 1 week, 6 weeks, and 12 weeks post surgery.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 16 May 2024.
