Intervention(s)
Group 1: 20-30 obese patients (BMI = 40 kg/m2) undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy are included in the study. Before and six months after surgery the intestinal permeability is investigated by means of a sugar resorption test. Furthermore, the microbial composition of the colon, the eating behaviour (7 day dietary protocol), blood parameters (glucose, insulin, inflammatory parameters, electrolytes, blood lipids) and anthrompometric data (weight, waist and hip circumference) are analysed. During operation, visceral and subcutaneous fat tissue probes are taken for determination of the inflammatory status in the fat tissue.
Group 2: 20-30 normal weight to moderately overweight control subjects (BMI < 30 kg/m2) are included in the study. In the control group the same paramters are analyses as in the bariatric surgery group. Control patients with or without an abdominal surgery procedure (for access of fat tissue) are recruited.
Primary Outcome(s)
intestinal permeability: sugar resorption test;
change in microbial composition of the colon: faecal sample, metagenomic sequencing of faecal microbiota;
inflammatory parameters in blood: blood samples, CRP;
marker of intestinal permeability in blood: blood samples, zonulin and LPS-binding protein;
all parameters are measured before as well as six months after sugery in the obese patients and once in the control patients
Secondary Outcome(s)
anthropometry: body weight as well as waist-to-hip ratio;
eating habits: 7 day dietary protocol;
fasting insulin, fasting glucose, HbA1c: blood samples, laboratory analysis
all parameters are measured before as well as six months after sugery in the obese patients and once in the control patients
