摘要:Plasma lipoproteins and glucose homeostasis were evaluated after marked weight loss before and over 12 months following Roux-en-Y gastric-bypass (RYGBP) surgery in 19 morbidly obese women. Standard lipids, remnant-lipoprotein cholesterol (RLP-C); HDL-triglyceride (TG); apolipoproteins (apo) A-I, A-II, E, and A-I-containing HDL subpopulations; lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) and cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) mass and activity; plasma glucose and insulin levels were measured before and at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after GBP surgery. Baseline concentrations of TG, RLP-C, glucose, and insulin were significantly higher in obese than in normal-weight, age-matched women, whereas HDL cholesterol (HDL-C), apoA-I, apoA-II, α-1 and α-2 levels were significantly lower. Over 1 year, significant decreases of body mass index, glucose, insulin, TG, RLP-C, HDL-TG, and preβ-1 levels were observed with significant increases of HDL-C and α-1 levels (all P P = 0.018) and LCAT mass ( P = 0.011), but not with CETP mass ( P = 0.265). Changes of fasting plasma glucose concentrations were inversely correlated with those of CETP mass ( P = 0.005) and α-1 level ( P = 0.004). Changes of fasting plasma insulin concentrations were positively correlated with those of LCAT mass ( P = 0.043) and inversely with changes of α-1 ( P = 0.03) and α-2 ( P = 0.05) concentrations. These results demonstrate beneficial changes in HDL remodeling following substantial weight loss induced by RYGBP surgery and that these changes are associated with improvement of glucose homeostasis in these patients.
