Clinical Trial: Erythrocyte and Adipocyte G6PD Activity Levels in Obesity
Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: Completed
Study Type: Observational
Official Title: Erythrocyte and Adipocyte G6PD Activity Levels Correlate With Differing Degrees of Dyslipidemia, Insulin Resistance and Obesity
Brief Summary: This study compares the improvement of weight, fasting lipid profile (triglycerides, cholesterol, HDL, and LDL) and diabetes after gastric bypass surgery with an improvement in levels of an enzyme called glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD).
Detailed Summary: Same as brief summary
Sponsor: University of South Alabama
Current Primary Outcome: Measure erythrocyte G6PD levels in diabetic vs. non-diabetic morbidly obese patients undergoing laparoscopic Gastric Bypass. [ Time Frame: time of surgery up to 24 months post gastric bypass ]
Original Primary Outcome: Same as current
Current Secondary Outcome:
- Measure adipocyte G6PD levels in diabetic vs. non-diabetic morbidly obese patients undergoing laparoscopic gastric bypass. [ Time Frame: time of surgery up to 12 weeks post gastric bypass ]
- Measure omentum G6PD levels in diabetic vs. non-diabetic morbidly obese patients undergoing laparoscopic gastric bypass. [ Time Frame: time of surgery up to 12 weeks post gastric bypass ]
- Measure hepatocyte G6PD levels in diabetic vs. non-diabetic morbidly obese patients undergoing laparoscopic gastric bypass. [ Time Frame: time of surgery up to 12 weeks post gastric bypass ]
Original Secondary Outcome: Same as current
