Trial summary

The prevalence of obesity is steadily growing in many parts of the world in order to reach epidemic proportions. Changes in signaling pathways state of hunger and satiety contribute to the increase in obesity and metabolic syndrome. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Analysis of Neuroendocrine Regulation of Balance Energy and Inflammatory Factors in Obese Adults Submitted to Bariatric Surgery

The prevalence of obesity is steadily growing in many parts of the world in order to reach epidemic proportions. Changes in signaling pathways state of hunger and satiety contribute to the increase in obesity and metabolic syndrome. Currently, the white adipose tissue, also is considered a secretory tissue by producing numerous adipokines involved in a chronic state of inflammation, which may interfere with the neuroendocrine regulation of energy balance that affect the weight loss process. The bariatric surgery is recommended as the most effective tool in the treatment and control of morbid obesity. The study population will consist of patients undergoing bariatric surgery of type Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. The study was performed in Clinical Hospital of the Federal University of Paraná (UFPR). This is a prospective cohort study with follow up of 6 and 24 months. The aim of this study is to assess the effects of weight loss after bariatric surgery associated anthropometric characteristic, metabolic changes (glucose, cholesterol profile,hepatic enzymes, Fibroblast growth factor- 21(FGF-21), blood pressure), the profile of adipokines pro/anti-inflammatory (adiponectin, interleukin-6 (IL-6),interleukin-10 (IL-10), C reactive protein (CRP), plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), resistin, frizzled-related protein 5 (SFrp5) and neuroendocrine regulation of energy balance (leptin, neuropeptide Y (NPY) , alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH), melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) and agouti-related peptide (AgRP), as well as the quality of life in obese adults.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (bariatric surgery) in people with Obesity and Morbid Obesity, run by Federal University of São Paulo at 1 site in Brazil.

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 9 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Apr 2014. 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 Brazil. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Change from baseline in anthropometric, metabolic, energy balance parameters and inflammatory profile at 6 months (time frame: 6 months). 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 Apr 2014.
