Plain English summary of protocol
Background and study aims
Weight loss surgery (also called bariatric surgery) is the method that currently works best to induce sustained weight loss in severe and morbid obese individuals. Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGBP) and sleeve gastrectomy (SG) are among the most commonly used techniques. RYGBP is a restrictive and malabsorptive technique (malabsorption means that the body does not absorb certain nutrients), whereas SG is a restricted only approach. Knowledge regarding the effects of bariatric surgery on absorption and metabolism of minerals, as well as cellular and molecular mechanisms involved is limited. This research aims to study the mechanisms through which Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy affect absorption, metabolism and the nutritional status of selected minerals.
Who can participate?
Subjects will be recruited among women with residence in Santiago, Chile, starting in March 2008.
What does the study involve?
The study will be carried out in adult pre menopausal women with body mass index (BMI) > 35 kg/m2plus some co-morbidities such as hypertension, diabetes, insulin resistance, sleep apnea, dyslipidemia or BMR > 40 kg/m2regardless the presence of co-morbidities, using a contraceptive method (IUD, oral contraceptives or tubal ligation). Patients will be evaluated from the period immediately before, until 12 and 24 months after the surgery. The patient's doctor will decide whether the patient is treated by RYGBP or SG. Before and after 12 and 24 months of RYGBP and SG, Zn, heme iron, non-hem iron, and calcium absorptions will be evaluated, besides, a series of determinations related to nutritional status of Zn, Fe, Cu and Ca will be carried out. Other determinations include body composition, bone mineral density, and plasma hormones such as adiponectin and ghrelin. Before and after 12 months of surgery gene expression of mineral-related cell transporters will be determined in intestinal mucosa and peripheral mononuclear cells.
What are the possible benefits and risks of participating?
Benefits include the results of a comprehensive description of patients' Zn, Fe, Ca, and Cu nutritional status during the first two years after surgery, which may be useful for further adjustment of their nutritional management. Risks involve the potential inconveniences related to surgical procedures, all of them explained in detail in the informed consent form.
Where is the study run from?
All procedures on the patients will be carried out at the Department of Nutrition, Faculty of Medicine, University of Chile, Santiago, Chile.
When is the study starting and how long is it expected to run for?
The study started in March 2008 and is expected to be completed in November 2012.
Who is funding the study?
The study is funded by the National Fund for the Development of Science and Technology (Fondecyt), Chile.

| Scientific title | Studies of the effects of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy in morbid obesity on mineral and absorption and metabolism: cellular mechanisms involved |
| Study acronym | BYM |
| Study objectives | 1. Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGBP) will have a greater effect on iron (Fe), zinc (Zn), copper (Cu) and calcium (Ca) nutritional status than sleeve gastrectomy (SG). In both types of surgery the effects will be more profound after 12 than 24 months of the intervention. 2. The intestinal absorption of zinc, calcium, heme iron, and non-heme iron will be decreased after RYGBP and SG. Such impairment will be more important after RYGBP than after SG and in both cases decreased absorption will be greater after 12 than 24 months of surgery. 3. Twelve months after SG, gene expression of Zn, Fe, Cu and Ca transporters will be increased in duodenal mucosa with respect to pre surgery values. 4. Twelve months after RYGBP gene expression of Zn, Fe, Cu and Ca transporters in jejunum mucosa close to the stomach will tend to mimic gene expression of transporters observed in duodenal mucosa. 5. Twelve and 24 months after RYGBP and SG bone mineral density will be decreased compared to pre surgery values. This change will be related to increased adiponectin and decreased ghrelin plasma concentrations and it will be independent of calcium intake and absorption. |

| Intervention | The decision in terms of what type of surgical procedure the patient will undergo (Roux-en-Y gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy) is made by the patient's surgeon. After the surgery the individuals receive two types of supplements as detailed later; because RYGBP is a restrictive-malabsorptive procedure amounts of micronutrients is greater than that of sleeve gastrectomy. 1. RYGBP group: A vitamin-mineral supplement (Maltofer vit® Andromaco Laboratories, Santiago, Chile (1 tablet/d) + a Calcium and vitamin D supplement (Elcal D-PLUS® Andromaco Laboratories, Santiago, Chile) (1 tablet/d). 2. SG group: A vitamin-mineral supplement (Centrum® Wyeth laboratories, St Laurent, Montreal, Canada) (1 tablet/d) + a specially designed mineral capsule containing 22 mg Fe, 8.5 mg Zn, and Cu 1.1 mg (1 capsule/d) + a Calcium and vitamin D supplement (Elcal D-PLUS® (1 tab/d). The composition of each supplement is shown in the following table Daily supply of selected micronutrients provided to obese women after Sleeve gastrectomy (SG) and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) SG - RYGBP Calcium (mg) 662 - 750 Mg mg 100 - 30 Zinc (mg) 15 - 25 Iron (mg) 36 - 60 Copper (ug) 1800 - 3000 Selenium (ug) 25 - 0 Manganese (mg) 2.5 - 5 Iodine (ug) 150 -200 Chromium (ug) 25 - 50 Molibdenum (ug) 25 - 50 Beta carotene (mg) 600 - 0 Vitamin C (mg) 60 -100 Vitamin E (mg) 15 - 30 Folic acid (ug) 200 -1000 Thiamin (mg) 1.4 - 3 Riboflavin (mg) 1.6 - 3 Vitamin B6 (mg) 2 -10 Vitamin B12 (ug) 1 -10 Niacin (mg) 18 - 30 Biotin (ug) 150 - 100 Panthotenic acid (mg) 6 -7 Vitamin A (ug) 600 - 1200 Vitamin D (IU) 600 - 800 |
