    (2022) Tutuncu, Neslihan Bascil; Verdi, Hasibe; Yalcin, Yaprak; Cebi, Pinar Baysan; Kinik, Sibel; Tutuncu, Tanju; Atac, Fatma Belgin; 0000-0002-1816-3903; 0000-0002-9337-9106; 0000-0002-9141-9987; 35791832; ABG-5027-2020; ABB-4078-2020
    Objectives: Lipotoxicity and glucolipotoxicity are among the most important triggers of beta-cell failure in patients with type 2 and posttransplant diabetes. Because the Golgi apparatus is a vital organelle in secretory cells like beta cells, its behavior under stress conditions determines the cell's functional capacity.Materials and Methods: To mimic lipotoxicity and glucolipotoxicity as metabolic stresses for beta-cell failure, rat insulinoma INS-1E cells were treated with palmitic acid, glucose, or both. Cells were cultured in the presence of 5.0, 16.7, or 33 mM glucose with or without 0.5 mM palmitic acid for 8, 16, 24, and 48 hours. Incubation in the presence of any of the 3 concentrations of glucose with 0.5 mM palmitic acid provided glucolipotoxicity. In addition to the endop-lasmic reticulum stress marker (Hspa5), we evaluated changes in Golgi function under experimental metabolic stresses. In doing this, we measured expression levels of the genes coding Golgi structural proteins (Acbd3, Golga2, and Arf1), Golgi glycosylation enzymes sialyltransferaz10 and sialyltransferase 1 (St3gal1), and Golgi stress mediators (Creb3 and Arf4).Results: Golgi responded to lipotoxicity and glucolipotoxicity by increasing the expression of St3gal1 (P = .05 in both conditions) and Creb3 (P = .022 and P = .01, respectively). The Arf4 gene transcript also increased in glucolipotoxic media (P = .03). Glucotoxicity alone did not induce a change in the transcript levels of Creb3 and Arf4. Lipotoxicity and glucolipotoxicity induced Creb3 and Arf4 expression, which are important Golgi stress response mediators leading to apoptosis.Conclusions: This preliminary study showed that the Golgi stress response is important in lipotoxic and glucolipotoxic conditions in terms of beta-cell failure. Solving the mystery of intracellular molecular mechanisms leading to beta-cell dysfunction is crucial to understanding the pathophysiology of posttrans-plant diabetes and most probably the failure of intraportal islet transplants in the long term.

    Adenovirus-36 Infection and Obesity: A Case Control Study of Turkish Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
    (2021) Cakmakliogullari, Elcin Kal; Eroglu, Semra; 0000-0002-9959-9433; 33581595
    Background and aims: Adenovirus-36 (Ad-36) seropositivity has been shown to be involved in the aetiology of obesity. The aim of this study was to examine Ad-36 positivity in obese and normal-weight patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Methods: There were two groups including 92 and 110 subjects. This study was a prospective casecontrol study. The enzyme-immunoassay method was used to quantitatively determine antibodies (Abs) specific to human Ad-36 in the serum samples. Age, body mass index (BMI), fasting glucose levels and insulin levels of the participants were recorded. The PCOS and control group patients were divided into two groups: the overweight group with BMI >= 25 kg/m(2) and non-obese group with BMI <25 kg/m(2). Results: Ad-36 Ab positivity in the PCOS group was found to be significantly higher than that in the control group (p < 0.001). Ad-36 Ab positivity was significantly higher in the PCOS obese group than in the control obese group (p < 0.001). Ad-36 Ab positivity and BMI >= 25 kg/m(2) were identified as independent predictors of PCOS in logistic regression analysis. Conclusion: Ad-36 Ab positivity was significantly higher in the obese/overweight PCOS patients. Obesity can be prevented in patients with PCOS by treating Ad-36. (C) 2021 Diabetes India.

    Protective Effects of Oral Lactobacillus rhamnosus on Liver Steatosis in Rats on High-Fat Diet
    (2021) Ozbek, Sevan Cetin; Saka, Mendane; Turhan, Nesrin; Istar, Elven Hortac; Mirza, Cenk; Bayraktar, Nilufer; Ok, Mehtap Akcil
    The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of probiotic on fatty liver and metabolic endotoxemia in rats on high-fat diet. The rats were divided into three groups and fed one of the three diets (standard or control diet, high-fat diet, or high-fat + probiotic diet) for 16 weeks. At the end of this period, blood samples of the rats were taken and the liver tissue was removed for histopathology. There was an increase in the activities of both aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase in the livers of rats on high-fat diet. However, only the rise in aspartate aminotransferase was blunted by incorporation of probiotics to the high-fat diet. Histopathological examination revealed 62.5% hepatosteatosis in high fat diet group and 12.5% in high-fat + probiotic diet group. In conclusion, the protective effect of probiotic supplement on liver steatosis caused by high-fat diet was histopathologically demonstrated; however, its effect on liver enzymes, inflammatory markers, and metabolic endotoxin was not observed. There is a need for further studies in terms of both dose and strain to recommend the use of probiotics in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.

    The relationship between body mass index and stage/grade of periodontitis: a retrospective study
    (2021) Cetin, Mehtap Bilgin; Sezgin, Yasemin; Onder, Canan; Bakirarar, Batuhan; 34709456
    Objectives Possible impact of obesity on stage and grade of periodontitis has never been investigated before. This study aimed to examine the association between body mass index (BMI) and stage/grade of periodontitis per the current classification of periodontal diseases. Material and methods A total of 142 patients (82 males/60 females) were included in this study. "2017 World Workshop on the Classification of Periodontal and Peri-Implant Diseases and Conditions" was taken as basis to characterize the stage/grade of periodontitis. Age, gender, smoking status, and frequency of tooth brushing, and medical data of the patients including hypertension, hyperlipidemia, BMI, and diabetes mellitus were obtained from the patient's hospital records. Obesity was assessed by BMI using the "World Health Organization" criteria. For estimating the association between BMI and periodontitis, logistic regression analysis was utilized. Results BMI was statistically associated with clinical attachment loss (CAL), probing pocket depth (PPD), Plaque index (PI), stage and grade of periodontitis, and number of remaining teeth (p < 0.001, p < 0.05, p < 0.05, p < 0.05, p < 0.001, respectively). According to the multiple regression analysis results, those with BMI 25-29.9 were found to be at risk of being stage III-IV 3.977 times (95% CI: 1.831-8.640, p < 0.001) higher than those with BMI < 25, and similarly, those with BMI >= 30 were found to be at risk of being stage III-IV 4.062 times (95% CI: 1.315-12.549, p = 0.015) higher than those with BMI < 25. No relationship was found between obesity and grade of periodontitis according to multivariate analysis. Conclusions BMI increases the likelihood of stage III and stage IV periodontitis; however, it does not have an impact on the grade of periodontitis.

    Assessment of Carotid Artery Distensibility and Elasticity After Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy: a Prospective Study
    (2020) Gunesli, Aylin; Yilmaz, Mustafa; Altin, Cihan; Gezmis, Esin; Yabanoglu, Hakan; Erol, Varlik; 0000-0002-2557-9579; 0000-0002-8337-6905; 0000-0002-1161-3369; 0000-0002-1001-6028; 0000-0003-0268-8999; 32813160; S-6973-2016; AAK-3065-2021; AAJ-7865-2021; AAE-8301-2021; AAK-2011-2021
    Purpose Although it is well known that obesity increases the risk of atherosclerosis in carotid arteries, it is not clear whether this risk changes after obesity surgery. The aim of this study was to investigate whether weight reduction with a laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) has any effect on distensibility and elasticity which show subclinical atherosclerosis in the carotid arteries of obese individuals. Materials and Methods This prospective study included 130 patients (body mass index (BMI) 48.21 +/- 6.97 kg/m(2)) who underwent LSG. The patients were followed up for 1 year. Comparisons were made of the distensibiliy and elasticity values calculated preoperatively and at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months, postoperatively. Results There was a statistically significant increase in distensibility and elasticity values from baseline to 1, 3, 6, and 12 months postoperatively (p < 0.001 for both comparisons). The multiple linear regression analysis was used to find the variables affecting both distensibility and elasticity. According to the results, the presence of BMI decreases distensibility percentage change level by 0.38 units (beta= - 0.38, 95% CI - 0.51;- 0.25,p < 0.001). The presence of fasting plasma glucose decreases elasticity percentage change level by 0.20 units. (beta= - 0.20, 95% CI - 0.39; - 0.01,p = 0.037). Conclusion Carotid artery distensibility and elasticity values increase after LSG, and this change could be caused by the change in metabolic parameters and heart geometry. These results may indirectly suggest that subclinical atherosclerosis in carotid arteries has decreased after obesity surgery.

    Change of respiratory functions, the STOP-Bang questionnaire, and Epworth sleepiness scale after bariatric surgery
    (2020) Kara, Sibel; Habesoglu, Mehmet Ali; Yabanoglu, Hakan; 33055387
    INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVE: Obesity is a highly morbid and fatal syndrome that reduces respiratory function. Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is a common sleep disorder in morbid obesity. Herein, we aimed to determine how respiratory function tests changed over time after bariatric surgery and to assess non-PSG (polysomnography) tests, namely STOP-Bang questionnaire and Epworth sleepiness tests, for predicting OSAS risk. METHOD: This retrospectively conducted study enrolled 35 patients who underwent bariatric surgery. Patients were divided into three groups formed on the basis of time passed after surgery (1, 2, or 3 years). Preoperative and postoperative respiratory function test parameters assessed by spirometry, body mass index (BMI), STOP-Bang questionnaire, and Epworth sleepiness test scores were recorded. RESULTS: Twenty-four (68.6%) patients were female, 11 (31.4%) male. The mean age was 36.5 +/- 10.5 years. Postoperative weight loss of the study groups was 26% p=0.001, 23.6% p=0.002 and 25.9% p=0.005. Reductions in BMI were 32 kg/m(2) p=0.001, 34.5 kg/m(2) p=0.002, 35.8 kg/m(2) p=0.005 respectively. Postoperative FVC (440 ml, 390 ml, 430 ml p = 0.005) and FEV1 (220 ml p = 0.005, 250 ml p = 0.004, 214 ml p = 0.005) increased in all three groups. STOP-Bang questionnaire and Epworth sleepiness scale scores significantly decreased after weight loss compared to preoperative period in all the study groups. CONCLUSION: We showed that FVC and FEV1 increased in the short and long term after weight loss by bariatric surgery; we also found that STOP-Bang questionnaire and Epworth sleepiness scale scores decreased postoperatively. These tests may be helpful to assess OSAS risk before and after surgery.
