Popis: Background Obesity has been associated with impaired intestinal barrier function. It is not known whether bariatric surgery leads to changes in intestinal barrier function. We hypothesized that obesity is associated with disturbances in gastrointestinal barrier function, and that after bariatric surgery barrier function will improve. Methods Prospective single center study in which we assessed segmental gut permeability by urinary recovery of a multisugar drink in 27 morbidly obese (BMI 43.3 +/- 1.1 kg/m(2)) and 27 age and gender matched lean subjects (BMI 22.9 +/- 0.43 kg/m(2)). Fecal calprotectin, SCFAs, plasma cytokines, and hsCRP were assessed as inflammatory and metabolic markers. Comparisons: (a) morbidly obese subjects vs. controls and (b) 2 and 6 months postsleeve vs. presleeve gastrectomy (n = 14). In another group of 10 morbidly obese and 11 matched lean subjects colonic and ileal biopsies were obtained in order to measure gene transcription of tight junction proteins. Results Gastroduodenal permeability (urinary sucrose recovery) was significantly increased in obese vs. lean controls (p
