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).

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Measure Erythrocyte G6PD Levels in Diabetic vs. Non-diabetic Morbidly Obese Patients Undergoing Laparoscopic Gastric Bypass.G6PD levels will be measured at the following time intervals: Baseline(prior to gastric bypass surgery), 1 week, 6 weeks, and 12 weeks post surgery.G6PD levels will be measured various time intervals. G6PD is the rate limiting enzyme of the pentose phosphate pathway that provides NADPH required for lipid synthesis. G6PD overexpression is implicated in insulin resistance, hyperlipidemia and increases in oxidative stress.
