Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic epidemiology of cholesterol cholelithiasis among Chilean Hispanics, Amerindians, and Maoris

TL;DR: Cholesterol lithogenic genes appear widely spread among Chilean Indians and Hispanics and could determine the early formation of gallstones and explain the high prevalence of gallbladder diseases among some South American populations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Metabolic surgery versus conventional medical therapy in patients with type 2 diabetes: 10-year follow-up of an open-label, single-centre, randomised controlled trial.

TL;DR: A 10-year follow-up study of an open-label, single-centre (tertiary hospital in Rome, Italy), randomised controlled trial, in which patients with type 2 diabetes (baseline duration >5 years; glycated haemoglobin [HbA1c] >7·0, and body-mass index ≥35 kg/m2) were randomly assigned to medical therapy, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), or biliopancreatic diversion (BPD) by a computerised system RE
Journal ArticleDOI

Gut microbiome-derived metabolites characterize a peculiar obese urinary metabotype

TL;DR: Preliminary results confirmed that in humans the gut microflora metabolism is strongly linked to the obesity phenotype, and the typical obese metabotype is lost after weight loss induced by bariatric surgery.
Journal ArticleDOI

Influence of maternal obesity on insulin sensitivity and secretion in offspring.

TL;DR: The maternal genetic/epigenetic transmission shows a clear sexual dimorphism, with male offspring having a higher value of insulin sensitivity (although not statistically significant) associated with significantly higher insulin secretion than female offspring.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of dietary fatty acids on insulin sensitivity and secretion.

TL;DR: The biochemical mechanisms responsible for lower fatty acid oxidation involve reduced carnitine palmitoyl transferase activity, as a likely consequence of increased intracellular concentrations of malonyl‐CoA; reduced glycogen synthase activity; and impairment of insulin signalling and glucose transport.
