Plain English summary of protocol

Background and study aims
Overweight and obesity are increasing and the use of surgery for the treatment of obesity is also rapidly increasing worldwide. This study aims to look at the effects of both diet-induced and surgically-induced weight loss.

Who can participate?
Adults diagnosed with obesity (BMI over 40 kg/m2 or BMI over 35kg/m2 plus obesity-related problems such as diabetes) and scheduled for surgery.

What does the study involve?
Patients will undergo Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. A number of tests and measurements will be done before and after surgery.

What are the possible benefits and risks of participating?
The benefits are a reduction in body weight (mostly fat tissue); resolution of type 2 diabetes, a disorder in which an organ called the pancreas does not produce enough insulin or the individual’s cells do not react to the insulin, leading to high blood sugar levels; and improvements in insulin sensitivity. Risks were not provided at the time of registration.

Where is the study run from?
Xlab, Center for Healthy Aging (Denmark)

When is the study starting and how long is it expected to run for?
December 2009 to December 2016

Who is funding the study?
Innovation Fund Denmark

Who is the main contact?

Study setting(s)Hospital
Study typeTreatment
Scientific titleEffect of gastric bypass surgery on mitochondrial function and insulin secretion and action in patients with type 2 diabetes
Study acronymGASMITO
Study objectivesWeight loss induced with diet and surgery will:
1. Improve insulin action and secretion
2. Increase mass-specific adipose tissue mitochondrial respiration
3. Not change skeletal muscle mass-specific mitochondrial respiration
4. Not reduce maximal fat oxidation
Ethics approval(s)Ethics Committee of Copenhagen, Denmark (Protocol: H-C-2009-050)
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedInsulin resistance
InterventionObese patients with and without type 2 diabetes will be assessed twice before and twice after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass with:
1. Intravenous glucose tolerance test
2. Oral glucose tolerance test
3. Euglycaemic clamp
4. Indirect calorimetry
5. Maximal oxygen consumption
6. Maximal fat oxidation rate
7. Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry scan
8. Biopsy samples of skeletal muscle and subcutaneous, hepatic and visceral fat
Intervention typeProcedure/Surgery
Primary outcome measure1. Insulin action
2. Insulin secretion
3. Maximal oxygen consumption
4. Mitochondrial respiration
5. Fat oxidation during exercise
Secondary outcome measures1. Body composition
2. Hepatic glucose production and mitochondrial function
3. Lipolysis
4. Incretin hormones
