Abstract

Multiple studies carried out on patients with obesity who underwent bariatric surgery, either with gastric bypass, biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch or vertical gastrectomy (gastric sleeve) have proven diabetes remission. The reasons to justify said beneficial changes include postoperative GLP1 and GIP increase, weight decrease with reduction of adipose tissue with proinflammatory cytokines, ghrelin reduction, increased insulin sensitivity and bile acid impact.

Considering the main role of beta cells to maintain normoglycemia, a randomized study was carried out exposing serum samples from obesity and diabetes patients undergoing bariatric surgery (vertical gastrectomy) into beta cells culture and comparing it with sera of conventionally treated patients.

Cells exposed to sera from LSG-treated participants exhibited increased viability and proliferation, diminished levels of ROS and p53, enhanced protein expression of autophagy-related SIRT1 and p62/SQSTM1, significantly decreased transcript levels of ER stress markers, and augmented insulin expression. At 6-month follow-up, patients undergoing surgery achieved adequate glycemic control, whereas conventionally treated patients did not. This implies that circulating factors in patients with improved diabetes after bariatric surgery exerted favorable effects on beta cell function and survival.
