Abstract

Background & aims: Sleeve gastrectomy (SG) and gastric plication (GP) are two widely performed bariatric techniques reducing the size of the stomach. The improvements observed following these procedures are not fully explained only by caloric restriction. Thus, we aimed at the analysis of adiposity and metabolism modifications in diet-induced obesity (DIO) rats submitted to SG or GP and correlate the changes with total ghrelin concentrations and its two different ghrelin isoforms.

Materials and methods: Adiposity, lipolysis and circulating ghrelin isoforms were determined in 191 male Wistar rats submitted to surgery: sham (SO), SG, or GP. Results were compared with pair-fed (PF) controls fed either a normal diet (ND) or a high-fat diet (HFD).

Results: DIO rats submitted to SG had significantly lower (p < .05) levels of desacyl ghrelin (DAG) and total ghrelin compared with SO and PF ones. Furthermore, they achieved a greater weight loss, adiposity and improvement in glucose and lipid metabolism, as well as brown adipose tissue mitochondrial morphology. No decrease in ghrelin concentrations was observed in GP.

Conclusions: The differential effect on circulating ghrelin concentrations of SG and GP, despite both procedures reducing actual stomach size, probably underlies the better outcomes on weight control and lipolysis of the SG due to the fundus removal, the main site of ghrelin-producing cells.

期刊介绍： EJCI considers any original contribution from the most sophisticated basic molecular sciences to applied clinical and translational research and evidence-based medicine across a broad range of subspecialties. The EJCI publishes reports of high-quality research that pertain to the genetic, molecular, cellular, or physiological basis of human biology and disease, as well as research that addresses prevalence, diagnosis, course, treatment, and prevention of disease. We are primarily interested in studies directly pertinent to humans, but submission of robust in vitro and animal work is also encouraged. Interdisciplinary work and research using innovative methods and combinations of laboratory, clinical, and epidemiological methodologies and techniques is of great interest to the journal. Several categories of manuscripts (for detailed description see below) are considered: editorials, original articles (also including randomized clinical trials, systematic reviews and meta-analyses), reviews (narrative reviews), opinion articles (including debates, perspectives and commentaries); and letters to the Editor.
