Potential associations between alterations in gut microbiome and obesity‐related traits after the bariatric surgery

Abstract

Aim

This study aimed to examine the effects of both obesity and bariatric surgery on gut microbiome, dietary intake, as well as metabolic and inflammatory parameters.

Methods

All participants (15 with morbid obesity who had bariatric surgery, 8 with morbid obesity and 11 non-obese) were followed-up for a 6-month period with the interviews at baseline (M0), at the end of 3 (M3) and 6 months (M6). Dietary assessment was done, and blood and faecal samples were collected.

Results

Dietary energy and nutrient intakes as well as serum levels glucose, total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, and hs-CRP levels decreased by surgery (p<0.05, for each). Participants with morbid obesity had higher levels of Firmicutes and lower levels of Bacteroidetes at M0 compared to non-obese participants. The abundances of Bacteroidetes increased (p=0.02) while Firmicutes decreased (p>0.05) by the surgery, leading a significant decrease in Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio (p=0.01). At sub-phylum level, the abundances of Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium decreased while Akkermansia increased by the surgery (p<0.01, for each). Although participants who are morbidly obese had a distinct profile according to ß-diversity indices at M0, it became similar with the profile of non-obese participants (p>0.05) at M3 and M6. Similarly, α-diversity indices were lower in subjects with morbid obesity at M0, but became similar to levels in non-obese controls at M6.

Conclusion

This study confirmed that bariatric surgery has substantial impacts on gut microbiome composition and diversity, as well as anthropometrical measurements and biochemical parameters, which were associated with the alterations in dietary intake patterns.
