Background: While bariatric surgery could result in weight loss as well as glycaemia improvement, the short-term impact on bone health in a high glycemic environment following Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and sleeve gastrectomy (SG) remains intriguing. Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the short-term effects of RYGB and SG procedures on bone health in Zucker diabetic fatty (ZDFfa/fa) rats. Methods: Thirty age-matched male ZDFfa/fa rats were randomized into RYGB, SG, and sham groups after establishment of the diabetic model. Body weight, blood glucose, bone mineral density (BMD), the level of bone turnover markers (BTM), vitamin D, and serum calcium and phosphorus were measured 4 weeks after the operation. Results: The RYGB procedure brought about lower blood glucose, BMD, serum calcium and phosphorus levels, as well as a relatively higher bone turnover rate and 1,25(OH)2VD level, compared to the SG and sham groups, while the influences of the SG procedure were not significant. 25(OH)VD demonstrated no significant difference among the 3 groups. Conclusions: Despite its excellent ability to provide short-term glycemic control, the RYGB procedure could led to more severe impairment of bone health compared to the SG procedure. Bone health should be procured after bariatric surgery, especially with the RYGB procedure. Early detection of BMD and BTM may help to avoid deterioration of bone.

Abstract Context Bariatric surgery, particularly Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), is associated with an increased risk of osteoporotic fractures. It is unknown whether RYGB or sleeve gastrectomy (SG) have different effects on bone health. Objective To compare changes in bone mineral density and markers of bone turnover 1 year after SG and RYGB. Design, Setting, Patients, and Interventions Randomized, triple-blind, single-center trial at a tertiary care center in Norway. The primary outcome was diabetes remission. Patients with severe obesity and type 2 diabetes were randomized and allocated (1:1) to SG or RYGB. Main Outcome Measures Changes in areal bone mineral density (aBMD) and bone turnover markers. Results Femoral neck, total hip, and lumbar spine aBMD, but not total body aBMD, decreased significantly more after RYGB (n = 44) than after SG (n = 48) (mean [95% confidence interval] between group differences -2.8% [-4.7 to -0.8], -3.0% [-5.0 to -0.9], -4.2% [-6.4 to -2.1], and -0.5% [-1.6 to 0.6], respectively). The increase in procollagen type 1 N-terminal propeptide (P1NP) and C-telopeptide of type I collagen (CTX-1) were approximately 100% higher after RYGB than after SG (between group difference at 1 year, both P < 0.001). The changes in femoral neck, total hip, and lumbar spine aBMDs and the changes in P1NP and CTX-1 were independently associated with the surgical procedure (all P < 0.05) and not weight change. Conclusions Roux-en-Y gastric bypass was associated with a greater reduction in aBMD and a greater increase in bone turnover markers compared with SG. This finding could suggest greater skeletal fragility after RYGB.

Abstract Introduction: Although malabsorption of nutrients and changes in intestinal adipokines and gut hormones induced by Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) are considerably different than sleeve gastrectomy (SG), little is known about the consequences on bone health resulted by these two procedures. Objective: to compare the prevalence of secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT), bone mineral density (BMD), bone turnover markers and serum leptin in obese patients undergoing RYGB and SG, according to the time of surgery and percent weight loss. Methods: we studied 117 patients (91% female, 51% RYGB, mean age 41.8 ± 6.7 years, mean time of surgery 4.3 ± 3.4 years) who were divided into two groups according to the surgical procedure adopted (SG vs. RYGB). They were evaluated at different times after surgery (1–2 years, > 2 and <5 years and ≥5 years) and according to the percentage of weight loss (10–20%, >20% and <40%, ≥40%). Anthropometric measurements, body composition and BMD, bone parameters (PTH, corrected serum calcium, 25OHD, alkaline phosphatase -AP, C-telopeptide - CTX), and biochemical tests were compared. Results: The prevalence of SHPT (PTH ≥ 65pg/ml) was 26%, higher in the RYGB vs. SG (35% vs. 17%, respectively, p = 0.039), despite no significant differences in serum 25OHD (28.5 ± 7.3 vs. 27.6 ± 7.7 ng/ml, p=0.519) and corrected serum calcium (9.8 ± 0.6 vs. 9.8 ± 0.5 mg/dl, p = 0.466) between the groups. Mean serum PTH, CTX and AP was higher in the RYGB vs. SG (61.3 ± 29.5 vs 49.5 ± 32.3 pg/mL, p = 0.001; 0.596 ± 0.24 vs. 0.463 ± 0.23 ng/mL; 123.9 ± 60.8 vs. 100.7 ± 62.0 U/L, respectively). There were 13.5% decreases in femoral neck BMD in all patients, over the study period. After 5 years of surgery, the RYGB group showed greater bone loss in total body BMD (1.016 vs. 1.151g/cm2, -8.1%, p = 0.003) and total femur BMD (1.164 vs. 1.267g/cm2, - 11.7%, p = 0.007). Mean serum leptin was lower in the RYGB group, when compared to SG (7.6 ± 5.8ng/mL vs. 14.0 ± 9.9, p = 0.001), with no correlation with BMD in any site. There were no significant differences between the RYGB and SG regarding the other metabolic parameters. Conclusion: We found a more deleterious effect of RYGB on bone health up to 5 years postoperatively in comparison with SG.

AbstractBackground:New evidence suggests that obesity is deleterious for bone health, and obesity treatments could potentially exacerbate this.Materials and methods:This narrative review, largely based on recent systematic reviews and meta-analyses, synthesizes the effects on bone of bariatric surgery, weight loss pharmaceuticals and dietary restriction.Results and conclusions:All three obesity treatments result in statistically significant reductions in hip bone mineral density (BMD) and increases in bone turnover relative to pre-treatment values, with the reductions in hip BMD being strongest for bariatric surgery, notably Roux-en Y gastric bypass (RYGB, 8%–11% of pre-surgical values) and weakest for dietary restriction (1%–1.5% of pre-treatment values). Weight loss pharmaceuticals (orlistat or the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist, liraglutide) induced no greater changes from pre-treatment values than control, despite greater weight loss. There is suggestive evidence that liraglutide may increase bone mineral content (BMC) – but not BMD – and reduce fracture risk, but more research is required to clarify this. All three obesity treatments have variable effects on spine BMD, probably due to greater measurement error at this site in obesity, suggesting that future research in this field could focus on hip rather than spine BMD. Various mechanisms have been proposed for BMD loss with obesity treatments, notably reduced nutritional intake/absorption and insufficient exercise, and these are potential avenues for protection against bone loss. However, a pressing outstanding question is whether this BMD reduction contributes to increased fracture risk, as has been observed after RYGB, and whether any such increase in fracture risk outweighs the risks of staying obese (unlikely).

Abstract Abstract 21 Background: Low bone mineral density (BMD) and increased risk of fracture are increasingly being identified in patients with hemophilia. Multiple clinical studies have shown that both children and adults with hemophilia have significantly decreased BMD, with up to 70% of adult patients affected. Decreased BMD in this population has previously been attributed to inactivity due to hemophilic arthropathy and comorbid conditions including infection with HIV and hepatitis C. The factor VIII (FVIII) knockout (KO) mouse model has been extensively characterized with respect to bleeding and the development of inhibitors. However, the skeletal status of these animals has not been described. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to examine the skeletal phenotype of FVIII deficient mice and measure serum markers of bone turnover and regulation. Methods: We compared the skeletal phenotype of 11 male FVIII KO mice and 8 matched wild-type (WT) controls at 20 weeks of age. BMD was measured using dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA), bone geometry was examined by μCT and, after sacrifice, femoral breaking strength was measured by three-point bending until failure (ultimate force). In a second group of 24 mice (12 KO and 12 WT), serum was obtained under uniform conditions at 20 weeks of age via cardiac puncture. Serum levels of receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand (RANK-L), osteoprotegerin (OPG), interleukin 1α (IL-1α) and osteocalcin were measured using commercially available ELISAs. Alkaline phosphatase (alk phos) activity was measured using a colorimetric assay. The RANK-L/OPG system regulates bone turnover, osteocalcin and alk phos are markers of bone turnover and IL-1α is an inflammatory cytokine. Results: No differences in body weight, length, percent fat, or femoral length were observed between FVIII KO and WT mice (data not shown). No spontaneous bleeding was observed in any animal. As shown in Table I, KO mice had significantly decreased BMD, cortical thickness and stiffness compared to WT mice. This resulted in decreased resistance to fracture as measured via ultimate force. The data presented here demonstrate that adult FVIII KO male mice exhibit lower cortical bone mass resulting in femora less resistant to fracture compared with WT controls. Because FVIII KO mice do not have spontaneous joint hemorrhages and exhibit normal behavior and activity levels, these data suggest that there is an underlying connection between the coagulation system and bone metabolism that results in lower BMD and bone strength. To understand why KO mice have decreased BMD, we measured serum levels of regulators of bone metabolism, markers of bone turnover and inflammatory cytokines. There was no difference in RANK-L, OPG or the RANK-L/OPG ratio between the KO and WT mice. In addition, there was no observed difference in osteocalcin and alk phos. However, WT animals had significantly higher levels of IL-1α expression (P = 0.008). All of the KO animals had undetectable IL-1α levels under physiologic conditions whereas the mean IL-1α level in WT mice was 32.2 pg/ml. Thrombin production is reduced in hemophilia and thrombin has previously been shown to stimulate inflammatory cytokine production. Therefore, these data suggest that thrombin may be necessary for IL-1α production under non-stress conditions and that lower levels of IL-1α may be detrimental to bone health. Although increased inflammatory cytokines are typically associated with decreased BMD, prior research has shown that physiologic levels of cytokines are necessary to maintain bone health. Conclusions: These data provide compelling evidence that the link between FVIII deficiency and impaired skeletal health is real and independent of differences in physical activity and other medical co-morbidities. In addition, the decreased levels of IL-1α observed in KO mice suggest that inflammatory cytokines are involved in this pathophysiology. Ongoing work in our laboratory is aimed at further exploring these connections. Disclosures: No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.
