About this study

Official title: The Effects of Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass on Mitochondrial Dysfunction and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

The focus of this proposal is to define the mechanism by which bariatric surgery acutely improves insulin sensitivity. Our central hypothesis is that drastically reduced caloric intake early after Bariatric surgery improves the pro-inflammatory profile of macrophages, which in turn improves insulin sensitivity and glucose homeostasis.

Read the detailed description

Bariatric surgery quickly improves tissue specific insulin sensitivity. Changes in glucose metabolism are seen within days after surgery, prior to any significant weight loss--raising the question of a difference between dietary restriction and early food intake after surgery. A major factor in the development of insulin resistance is obesity. It has been noted that by 3 months following Roux-en Y gastric bypass surgery in obese patients with (T2DM), fasting glucose and insulin levels are improved independent of weight loss, insulin resistance in muscle is lowered, and that the pro-inflammatory profile of resident microphages is lowered improving insulin sensitivity.

The focus of this proposal is to define the mechanism by which bariatric surgery improves impacts insulin sensitivity. Our long-term goal is to correlate these changes with direct measures of adipose tissue insulin resistance to develop novel immunotherapies towards reducing insulin resistance without surgery.

Our central hypothesis is that gastrointestinal rearrangement by various mechanisms impacts adipose tissue and improves the pro-inflammatory profile of macrophages improving insulin sensitivity and glucose homeostasis. To test this hypothesis we propose the following aims:

Specific Aim 1. Recruit a patient population and measure insulin sensitivity using homeostatic model assessment (HOMA) to measure insulin resistance (IR), cytokines, incretins, and serum adipokines in morbidly obese patients • prior to and 7-10 days following bariatric surgery while on a hypocaloric diet (surgery group) and •prior to and 7-10 days while following hypocaloric diet similar to bariatric surgery (diet group). Subjects will be assigned to the two arms; subjects assigned to the hypocaloric diet may be offered bariatric surgery after completion of the diet.

Specific Aim 2.

  • Profile inflammatory macrophages, T cells and secreted factors in subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissue of patients prior to and following RYGB and hypocaloric diet treatments. • prior to and 7-10 days following surgery
  • prior to and 7-10 days following hypocaloric diet similar to bariatric surgery

Specific Aim 3.

Assess the effects of bariatric surgery on ROS (reactive oxygen species) production, expression of transcription factors and enzymes of mitochondrial biogenesis, tissue FABP4, and biomarkers of oxidative stress and protein carbonylation in patients prior to and following surgery and in control diet subjects maintained on hypocaloric diet.

Specific Aim 4.

Determine the impact of bariatric surgery on lipolysis and the role of TLQP-21 (a genetically derived peptide that increases energy expenditure and prevents the early phase of diet-induced obesity).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Gastric Bypass w/ matched hypocaloric diet and Hypocaloric diet in people with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Insulin Resistance, run by University of Minnesota at 1 site 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 5 inclusion and 7 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 14 Feb 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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 homeostasis model assessment i.e. estimated change in insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) index (time frame: Seven days before and 10 days following RYGB or hypocaloric diet similar to RYGB patients). 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 14 Feb 2023.
