Abstract

Obesity is associated with increased markers of oxidative stress. We examined whether oxidative stress is reduced within the first week after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery and could be related to changes in adipose tissue depots. The reactive oxygen species (ROS) marker 8-iso-prostaglandin F2α (8-iso-PGF2α) and activity of antioxidant glutathione peroxidases (GPX) in plasma were compared before and ∼1 week after RYGB. The effects of RYGB on subcutaneous adipose tissue and interstitial fluid 8-iso-PGF2α levels and subcutaneous adipose tissue expression of GPX-3 were also assessed. Levels of 8-iso-PGF2α in subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissue were determined. Plasma 8-iso-PGF2α levels decreased (122±75 to 56 15pg/ml, P = 0.001) and GPX activity increased (84±18 to 108 25nmol/min/ml, P = 0.003) in the first week post-RYGB. RYGB also resulted in reductions of 8-iso-PGF2α in subcutaneous adipose tissue (1,742 931 to 1,132 420pg/g fat, P = 0.046) and interstitial fluid (348±118 to 221±83pg/ml, P = 0.046) that were comparable to plasma (26-33%, P = 0.74). Adipose GPX-3 expression was increased (6.7 4.7-fold, P = 0.004) in the first postoperative week. The improvements in oxidative stress occurred with minimal weight loss (2.4±3.4%, P = 0.031) and elevations in plasma interleukin-6 (18.0 46.8 to 28.0 58.9pg/ml, P = 0.004). Subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissues express comparable 8-iso-PGF2α levels (1,204 470 and 1,331 264pg/g fat, respectively; P = 0.34). These data suggest that RYGB affects adipose tissue leading to the restoration of adipose redox balance within the first postoperative week and that plasma 8-iso-PGF2α is primarily derived from subcutaneous adipose tissue. © 2011 The Obesity Society.
