Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of the study is to precise the effect of a large amount of weight loss induced by gastric bypass on the endocannabinoid system (plasma and adipose tissue) of morbidly obese patients and to determine the influence of a gastric bypass surgery compared to a lifestyle intervention with equivalent weight loss on the endocannabinoid system

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Dysregulation of the endocannabinoid system has been associated with the development of obesity, metabolic and cardiovascular disorders in both animals and humans.

Obese patients, especially those with abdominal obesity, have significantly higher levels of endocannabinoids. No influence of moderate (5%) body weight loss (induced either by diet intervention or sibutramine) on the peripheral activity of the endocannabinoid system gastric bypass (GB) surgery is the most efficient treatment of obesity Hormonal pathways may participate to the weight reducing effect of the procedure.The endocannabinoid system is present in the gastrointestinal tract.

In animals, sustained weight loss after GB is characterized by reduction of endocannabinoids levels.

The endocannabinoid levels will be studied (baseline and after stimulation) in:

* Normal-weight subjects
* Obese subjects before and after gastric bypass surgery
* Obese subjects before and after a lifestyle intervention

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Bypass gastric

First arm is represented by obese patients that will be studied before and after a gastric bypass. They will be studied before surgery as well as 1 month and 6 months after surgery.

Evaluation of the endocannabinoid system

Intervention Type BIOLOGICAL

The evaluation of the endocannabinoid system consist in the determination of plasma concentration of the 2 main endocannabinoids (2AG and AEA) before (5 blood samples) and after (5 blood samples) after consumption of a calibrated food. As a comparator, ghrelin will be measured at the same time.

Biopsy of visceral and peripheral adipose tissue

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

The endocannabinoids will be also determined in adipose tissue. Biopsy of visceral and peripheral adipose tissue will be done during surgery and peripheral adipose tissue will be done 6 months after surgery.

Evaluation of metabolic parameters

Intervention Type BIOLOGICAL

The evaluation of the metabolic status consist in evaluation of body composition (DEXA), determination of visceral adiposity (CT scan) and measurement of plasma lipids, glucose, insulin, leptin, adiponectin.

Evolution of behavioral parameters

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The behavioral evaluation will de done with different questionnaires: ORWELL 97, HAD scale, Three Factor Eating Questionnaire, Beck Depression inventory, Questionnaire of personality TCI.

Dietician consultation

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The evaluation of the metabolic status will also be seen by a dietician.

Psychologist consultation

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The behavioural evaluation will de done with a psychologist consultation

Lifestyle intervention

The second group is represented by obese patients that will be studied before lifestyle intervention, 6 months after the beginning of the intervention and after a time that will allow patients to lose the same amount of weight that patients that had been through surgery had lost one month after surgery.

Evaluation of the endocannabinoid system

Intervention Type BIOLOGICAL

The evaluation of the endocannabinoid system consist in the determination of plasma concentration of the 2 main endocannabinoids (2AG and AEA) before (5 blood samples) and after (5 blood samples) after consumption of a calibrated food. As a comparator, ghrelin will be measured at the same time.
