- The prevalence of diabetes is increasing worldwide, and most of the cases are type 2 diabetes mellitus. The relationship between type 2 diabetes mellitus and obesity is well established, and surgical treatment is widely used for obese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The aim was to present current knowledge about the possible mechanisms responsible for glucose control after surgical procedures and to review the surgical treatment results.

- Background: Gut-kidney signaling is implicated in sodium homeostasis and thus blood pressure regulation. Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery for morbid obesity confers a pronounced and long-lasting blood pressure lowering effect in addition to significant weight loss. Objectives: We set out to establish whether RYGB is associated with an intrinsic change in urinary sodium excretion that may contribute to the reported blood pressure lowering effects of the procedure. Methods: Five female patients (age range: 28-50 yr) without metabolic or hypertensive co-morbidities were included in a study involving four 24-hour residential visits: once before surgery and 10 days, 3 months, and 20 months after surgery. Creatinine and sodium were measured in fasting plasma samples and 24-hour urine samples and creatinine clearance, estimated glomerular filtration rate, and indices of urinary sodium excretion were calculated. Fasting and 60-minute postprandial blood samples from each study day were assayed for pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP). Results: Increases in weight-normalized urinary sodium excretion of up to 2.3-fold in magnitude occurred at 20 months after surgery. Median fractional excretion of sodium at 20 months was double that seen before surgery. Fasting NT-proBNP levels were stable or increased (1.5- to 5-fold). Moreover, a small postprandial increase in NT-proBNP was observed after surgery. Conclusions: Renal fractional excretion of sodium is increased after RYGB. A shift toward increased postoperative basal and meal associated levels of NT-proBNP coincides with increased urinary sodium excretion. The data support a working hypothesis that an enhanced natriuretic gut kidney signal after RYGB may be of mechanistic importance in the blood pressure lowering effects of this procedure.

- OBJECTIVE: To investigate the involvement of intestinal angiotensin II type 2 receptors in the outcome of acute severe hypovolemia as well as systemic and regional mesenteric hemodynamics and intestinal mucosal functions in anesthetized pigs. DESIGN AND SETTING: Prospective, interventional animal study in a university research laboratory. SUBJECTS: 53 landrace pigs, 28-35 kg. INTERVENTIONS: 30+30% or 20+20% hemorrhage of estimated total blood volume followed by retransfusion performed in untreated controls, in animals treated with the angiotensin II type 1 receptor blocker candesartan or with a combination of candesartan and the angiotensin II type 2 receptor blocker PD123319. MEASUREMENTS AND RESULTS: Following 30+30% hemorrhage the candesartan-treated animals attained a significantly higher survival rate than controls and animals treated with PD123319 in combination with candesartan. Less pronounced hemorrhage (20+20%) resulted in no mortality and functional variables were assessed. A significantly higher output of jejunal intraluminal nitric oxide occurred during hypovolemia in the candesartan treated group than in controls and animals that received PD123319 in combination with candesartan. Jejunal transmucosal potential difference was significantly better preserved after retransfusion in candesartan-treated animals than in controls. Expression of angiotensin II type 2 receptors in intestinal tissue was significantly higher in animals surviving the 30+30% hemorrhage than in nonsurvivors. CONCLUSIONS: Lethal circulatory failure is possibly influenced by use of angiotensin receptor ligands, and activation of intestinal angiotensin II type 2 receptors may play a significant role in improving the outcome of severe hypovolemia.

- In the Microvascular Outcomes after Metabolic Surgery randomised clinical trial (MOMS RCT, NCT01821508), combined metabolic surgery (gastric bypass) plus medical therapy (CSM) was superior to medical therapy alone (MTA) as a means of achieving albuminuria remission at 2‐year follow‐up in patients with obesity and early diabetic kidney disease (DKD). In the present study, we assessed the urinary1H‐NMR metabolome in a subgroup of patients from both arms of the MOMS RCT at baseline and 6‐month follow‐up. Whilst CSM and MTA both reduced the urinary excretion of sugars, CSM generated a distinctive urinary metabolomic profile characterised by increases in host–microbial co‐metabolites (N‐phenylacetylglycine, trimethylamine N‐oxide, and 4‐ aminobutyrate (GABA)) and amino acids (arginine and glutamine). Furthermore, reductions in aromatic amino acids (phenylalanine and tyrosine), as well as branched‐chain amino acids (BCAAs) and related catabolites (valine, leucine, 3‐hydroxyisobutyrate, 3‐hydroxyisovalerate, and 3‐methyl‐ 2‐oxovalerate), were observed following CSM but not MTA. Improvements in BMI did not correlate with improvements in metabolic and renal indices following CSM. Conversely, urinary metabolites changed by CSM at 6 months were moderately to strongly correlated with improvements in blood pressure, glycaemia, triglycerides, and albuminuria up to 24 months following treatment initiation, highlighting the potential involvement of these shifts in the urinary metabolomic profile in the metabolic and renoprotective effects of CSM. © 2022 by the authors.

- The prevalence of overweight and obesity has exploded in the post-industrial era. Life style interventions like dieting and exercise can induce a marked weight loss, but the main problem for most patients is to maintain the reduced body weight over time. Gastric bypass surgery is a commonly performed and very effective method for achieving a pronounced and sustained weight loss including metabolic improvements in obese patients. Despite the therapeutic successfulness there are known side-effects like chronic postprandial nausea and pain that in some patients become intractable. The pathophysiology is complex and partly unexplored. The physician or surgeon handling a patient with “post-bariatric symptoms” must be aware of the risk for symptom aggravations due to iatrogenic opioid-associated intestinal dysmotility. The present paper gives a brief overview of obesity surgery and its associated postsurgical conditions with a focus on the unexplored role of the Roux-limb following gastric bypass surgery. © 2019 Elsevier Ltd

- Abstract Objective. There is a need for a technique allowing studies of human mucosal specimens collected during different clinical conditions. This study elucidates if square wave pulse analysis discriminates between epithelial and transmural electrical resistance and if there is an association with transepithelial permeability of molecular probes. Methods. Mucosae from esophagus (surgical resections: n = 14; endoscopic biopsies: n = 15) and jejunum (n = 12) and Caco-2 cell monolayers were investigated in Ussing chambers. Transmural and epithelial electrical resistance were recorded by the use of standardized current pulses. Permeability was assessed using two fluorescein-labeled probes (weight 376 and 4000 Da). Results. Baseline epithelial electrical resistance was higher in esophageal mucosa (∼280 Ω*cm(2)), than in jejunal (∼10 Ω*cm(2)) and Caco-2 cells (∼140 Ω*cm(2)). The subepithelial contribution to the transmural resistance was higher in jejunal preparations (+88%) and Caco-2 cells (+75%), than in esophageal (+30%). During hypoxia the subepithelial resistance was unchanged, whereas the epithelial resistance decreased significantly in jejunal mucosa and Caco-2 cells. These findings coincided with increased transepithelial probe permeability and signs of disturbed morphology. Esophageal epithelia were resistant to hypoxia. However, exposure to deoxycholic acid and trypsin abolished the esophageal epithelial resistance and increased probe permeability. Endoscopic esophageal biopsies from patients with erosive reflux disease exhibited significantly lower epithelial resistance and higher current than healthy subjects. Conclusion. Square wave pulse analysis in Ussing chambers is suitable for assessment of epithelial electrical resistance that can reflect transepithelial permeability of molecular probes with known size. Moreover, the technique discriminated between healthy and reflux-diseased esophageal mucosal biopsies.
