The diet protocol for all patients who undergo bariatric surgery were explained during the regular visits after the surgery. The first two days: clear liquid diet, the second to the fourteenth day: Full liquid diet, the 14th to 28th day: soft diet, the 28th day to 1.5 months after the ...
The wells containing a single 16S rRNA gene were further enlarged and cultured by inoculation in tubes containing 5 ml of liquid medium and streaking on agar plates for further purification, preservation, and characterization either anaerobically or aerobically. During the taxonomic characterization and ...
Effect of bariatric surgery on transcriptional profile, epigenetic landscape and cell functions.aBody weight (BW) and biochemical values distribution across the four studied groups: obese (dark green); lipodystrophy (blue); blood donors (BD) (light red); and post-bariatric surgery patients (light ...
sympathetic activation [30,31], to mimic thermoregulatory conditions for equivalent metabolic activity in humans [32]. All animals had access to food (5053 Purina diet) and waterab libitum. Upon receipt from the vendor (Jackson Laboratories), 8-week-old male and nulliparous female C57BL/6 J...
Then, two-dimensional ultra-high pressure liquid chromatography was done using a Waters system (Waltham, MA, USA). Tandem mass spectrometry was carried out using an Q Exactive™ high-resolution mass spectrometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) for the separation and detection of ...
Animal studies show that high fat (HF) diet-induced gut microbiota contributes to the development of obesity. Oil composition of high-fat diet affects metabolic inflammation differently with deleterious effects by saturated fat. The aim of the present st
The methods of preoperative weight loss differed among reported studies but generally included a nutritional component under the direction of a registered dietician and an exercise plan. Several studies demonstrated a positive effect of preoperative weight loss with a low calorie liquid diet, and most ...
The present study was designed to compare the effects of consuming solid and liquid forms of a fruit preload on energy balance, body weight and composition, and cardiometabolic risk factors in free-living obese adults who were prescribed caloric restriction. We chose grapefruit as the preload becau...
However, it has previously been shown that food preferences were unchanged 6 months after metabolic surgery in a study-population similar to ours [28]. Studies of intense lifestyle interventions with weight loss following 12 weeks or 12 months diet restriction with or without exercise have ...
Modern bariatric procedures therefore represent 'super system' surgery that seeks to alter the microbiome as part of the surgical procedure for the benefit of human health. If the intestinal microbiota are involved in this mechanism in some way, and it is highly likely that they are, then the ...
