Abstract
BACKGROUND: Bariatric surgery has beneficial effects on weight loss and metabolic profiles. Recent evidence suggests that liver-derived hepatokines play a role in the pathophysiology of metabolic diseases. However, few studies have reported longitudinal changes in hepatokines after gastric bypass surgery. We investigated changes in the serum levels of angiopoietin-like protein 6 (Angptl6) and selenoprotein P after gastric bypass surgery. METHODS: We followed 10 patients who were treated with gastric bypass for weight loss. We measured metabolic parameters and the serum levels of Angptl6 and selenoprotein P before, 1 month after, and 9 months after surgery. We investigated the changes in those hepatokines after surgery and the associations between changes in Angptl6 and selenoprotein P, respectively, and metabolic parameters. RESULTS: Body mass index decreased linearly. Levels of hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), gamma glutamyltransferase (GGT), total cholesterol, triglyceride, LDL cholesterol, and Angptl6 were significantly lower 1 and 9 months after surgery. Fasting plasma glucose was normal throughout the study. Fasting insulin decreased 1 month after surgery but increased 9 months post-surgery. Levels of selenoprotein P increased linearly. Significant correlations were detected between the levels of Angptl6 and LDL cholesterol and fasting insulin. Changes in Angptl6 levels were significantly correlated with changes in total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol. Selenoprotein P levels were inversely correlated with GGT, and changes in selenoprotein P were inversely correlated with changes in homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR). CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggest that gastric bypass may alter the serum levels of hepatokines independent of weight loss, and these changes are related to certain hepatic metabolic changes.
