Brief summary

The research aims to compare the inflammatory status of visceral adipose tissue from obese patients depending on the presence and severity of periodontitis, in order to establish a potential causal link between the severity of the bacterial contamination and insulin resistance.

Detailed description

Recruitment of patients will be achieved in the department of digestive surgery. It will involve 122 patients with severe obesity undergoing bariatric surgery scheduled within the digestive surgery department. Patients recruited will be examined for evaluating the presence and severity of periodontitis, and separated into either group 1: for patients with moderate or severe periodontitis, and or group 2: for patients without or with mild periodontitis. The day before the surgery, blood sample will be collected for the analysis of circulating metabolic and inflammatory markers. Collection of stimulated saliva, periodontal sample and faeces samples (50 g) will also be carried out for bacteria determination. During the surgical procedure, a sample of visceral adipose tissue (50 g) will be collected and used for periodontal bacteria detection and inflammatory markers analyses.

Interventions

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Inflammatory status of visceral adipose tissue from obese patients depending on the presence and severity of periodontitisConsecutively to visceral fat biopsy (day of surgery)Measurements of major adipocytokines (Interleukine 6, Leptin, Adiponectin, Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha, Monocyte Chemoattractant Protein-1, macrophage F4/80 receptor, CD11c, nuclear factor-kappa B, Toll Like Receptor 2/4 )

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription

Description of the metabolic profile of patients relative to periodontitis severityConsecutively to periodontal examination (day before surgery)glycemia, insulinemia, glucose tolerance, plasma and HDL total cholesterol, triglycerides
Link between adipose tissue inflammatory status, bacterial contamination and metabolic profile of patientsConsecutively to periodontal examination and fat biopsy (day before surgery, day of surgery)adipose tissue inflammatory status, periodontal bacterial contamination,diabetic disorders, lipid metabolic profile of patients
