    Effects of clomiphene citrate on male obesity-associated hypogonadism: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study
    (2018) SOARES, Andressa Heimbecher; HORIE, Nidia Celeste; CHIANG, Lucas Augusto Piccinin; CARAMELLI, Bruno; MATHEUS, Mariana Gomes; CAMPOS, Alexandre Holthausen; MARTI, Luciana Cavalheiro; ROCHA, Fernanda Agostini; MANCINI, Marcio C.; COSTA, Elaine Maria Frade; CERCATO, Cintia
    Background Obesity causes secondary hypogonadism (HG) in men. Standard testosterone (T) replacement therapy improves metabolic parameters but leads to infertility. Objective To evaluate clomiphene citrate (CC) treatment of adult men with male obesity-associated secondary hypogonadism (MOSH). Design Single-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. Participants Seventy-eight men aged 36.5 +/- 7.8 years with a body mass index (BMI) > 30 kg/m(2), total testosterone (TT) <= 300 ng/dL, and symptoms in the ADAM questionnaire. Intervention Random allocation to receive 50 mg CC or placebo (PLB) for 12 weeks. Outcomes (1) Clinical features: ADAM and sexual behavior questionnaires; (2) hormonal profile: serum TT, free T, estradiol (E2), luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), and sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG); (3) body composition: BMI, waist circumference, and bioelectric impedance analysis; (4) metabolic profile: blood pressure, fasting blood glucose, HbA lc, insulin, HOMA-IR, and lipid profile; (5) endothelial function: flow-mediated dilation of the brachial artery, quantitative assessment of endothelial progenitor cells and serum sICAM-1, sVCAM-1, and selectin-sE levels; (6) safety aspects: hematocrit, serum prostate-specific antigen, International Prostate Symptom Score, and self-reported adverse effects. Results There was an improvement in one sexual complaint (weaker erections; P < 0.001); increases (P < 0.001) in TT, free T, E2, LH, FSH, and SHBG; and improvements in lean mass (P < 0.001), fat-free mass (P = 0.004), and muscle mass (P < 0.001) in the CC group. CC reduced HDL (P < 0.001). No statistically significant differences were seen in endothelial function. Conclusions CC appeared to effectively improve the hormonal profile and body composition. CC may be an alternative treatment for MOSH in adult men.

    Proposal of an obesity classification based on weight history: an official document by the Brazilian Society of Endocrinology and Metabolism (SBEM) and the Brazilian Society for the Study of Obesity and Metabolic Syndrome (ABESO)
    (2022) HALPERN, Bruno; MANCINI, Marcio C.; MELO, Maria Edna de; LAMOUNIER, Rodrigo N.; MOREIRA, Rodrigo O.; CARRA, Mario K.; KYLE, Theodore K.; CERCATO, Cintia; BOGUSZEWSKI, Cesar Luiz
    Obesity is a chronic disease associated with impaired physical and mental health. A widespread view in the treatment of obesity is that the goal is to normalize the individual's body mass index (BMI). However, a modest weight loss (usually above 5%) is already associated with clinical improvement, while weight losses of 10%-15% bring even further benefits, independent from the final BMI. The percentage of weight reduction is accepted as a treatment goal since a greater decrease in weight is frequently difficult to achieve due to metabolic adaptation along with environmental and lifestyle factors. In this document, the Brazilian Society of Endocrinology and Metabolism (SBEM) and the Brazilian Society for the Study of Obesity and Metabolic Syndrome (ABESO) propose a new obesity classification based on the maximum weight attained in life (MWAL). In this classification, individuals losing a specific proportion of weight are classified as having ""reduced"" or ""controlled"" obesity. This simple classification - which is not intended to replace others but to serve as an adjuvant tool - could help disseminate the concept of clinical benefits derived from modest weight loss, allowing individuals with obesity and their health care professionals to focus on strategies for weight maintenance instead of further weight reduction. In future studies, this proposed classification can also be an important tool to evaluate possible differences in therapeutic outcomes between individuals with similar BMIs but different weight trajectories.

    Changes in Neuropsychological Tests and Brain Metabolism After Bariatric Surgery
    (2014) MARQUES, Emerson Leonildo; HALPERN, Alfredo; MANCINI, Marcio Correa; MELO, Maria Edna de; HORIE, Ndia Celeste; BUCHPIGUEL, Carlos Alberto; COUTINHO, Artur Martins Novaes; ONO, Carla Rachel; PRANDO, Silvana; SANTO, Marco Aurelio; CUNHA-NETO, Edecio; FUENTES, Daniel; CERCATO, Cintia
    Context: The mechanisms by which obesity alters the cerebral function and the effect of weight loss on the brain have not been completely clarified. Objective: The objective of the study was to assess the effect of bariatric surgery on the cognitive function and cerebral metabolism. Design: Seventeen obese women were studied prior to and 24 weeks after bariatric surgery using neuropsychological tests and positron emission tomography. Setting: The study was conducted in a reference center for the treatment of obesity of a Brazilian public university. Participants: Thirty-three women paired by age and level of education made up two groups: 17 severely obese patients and 16 lean patients. They did not have diabetes mellitus or a family history of dementia. Main Outcome Measures: Comparison of performance in neuropsychological tests and cerebral metabolism of the obese women before and after bariatric surgery was measured. The results found at the two moments were compared with those of the women of normal weight. Results: Women with a mean age of 40.5 years and mean body mass index of 50.1 kg/m(2) when compared with women with mean body mass index of 22.3 kg/m(2) showed increased cerebral metabolism, especially in the posterior cingulate gyrus (P <.004). No difference was found between the groups for the neuropsychological tests. After 24 weeks the cerebral metabolism of the obese women was lower, similar to the lean women, and there was an improvement of executive function, accompanying changes of metabolic and inflammatory parameters. Conclusions: Obese women may have increased cerebral metabolism when compared with women of normal weight, and this appears to reverse after weight loss induced by bariatric surgery, accompanied by improved executive function.

    Tratamento de curto prazo com liraglutide no reganho de peso após cirurgia bariátrica
    (2013) PAJECKI, Denis; HALPERN, Alfredo; CERCATO, Cintia; MANCINI, Marcio; CLEVA, Roberto de; SANTO, Marco Aurélio
    OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the results of the use of liraglutide in a group of patients undergoing surgical treatment of morbid obesity with unsatisfactory weight loss or regain of more than 15% of minimum reached weight. METHODS: The authors conducted a retrospective analysis of 15 operated patients who had excess weight loss <50% after two years of follow-up or regained weight more than 15% of the minimum reached weight. We included only patients who had the expected ""surgical anatomy"", assessed by contrast radiography and endoscopy. Mean age was 47.2 ± 12.5 years, and patients received liraglutide at doses from 1.2 to 3.0 mg/day for eight to 28 weeks follow-up. RESULTS: Surgical treatment induced a weight loss of 34.1 ± 16.5 kg. The average weight regain after 5.3 ± 3.3 years was 14.2 ± 12.1 Kg. The average weight was significantly reduced after treatment with liraglutide (100.9 ± 18.3 kg. vs Kg 93.5 ± 17.4, p <0.0001). Six patients had nausea and two discontinued therapy due to the cost of medication. CONCLUSION: medical treatment directed to the control of satiety using liraglutide may be an alternative treatment of patients with poor weight loss or weight regain after surgery when no technical problem has been identified.

    Lack of mutations in the leptin receptor gene in severely obese children
    (2012) DIAS, Natasha Favoretto; FERNANDES, Ariana Ester; MELO, Maria Edna de; REINHARDT, Heidi Lui; CERCATO, Cintia; VILLARES, Sandra Mara Ferreira; HALPERN, Alfredo; MANCINI, Marcio C.
    Objective: To analyze the LEPR gene in obese children and to investigate the associations between molecular findings and anthropometric and metabolic features. Subjects and methods: Thirty-two patients were evaluated regarding anthropometric characteristics, blood pressure, heart rate, serum glucose, insulin, leptin levels, and lipid profile. The molecular study consisted of the amplification and automatic sequencing of the coding region of LEPR in order to investigate new mutations. Results: We identified a high prevalence of metabolic disorders: impaired fasting glucose in 12.5% of the patients, elevated HOMA-IR in 85.7%, low HDL-cholesterol levels in 46.9%, high triglyceride levels in 40.6%, and hypertension in 58.6% of the patients. The molecular study identified 6 already described allelic variants: rs1137100 (exon-2), rs1137101 (exon-4), rs1805134 (exon-7), rs8179183 (exon-12), rs1805096 (exon-18), and the deletion/insertion of the pentanucleotide CTTTA at 3'untranslated region. Conclusions: The frequency of alleles observed in this cohort is similar to that described in the literature, and was not correlated with any clinical feature. The molecular findings in the analysis of the LEPR did not seem to be implicated in the etiology of obesity in these patients.

    Pharmacokinetics of oral levonorgestrel and ethinylestradiol in women after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery
    (2021) BRITO, Claudia Moreira de; MELO, Maria Edna de; MANCINI, Marcio C.; SANTO, Marco Aurelio; CERCATO, Cintia
    Background: Most patients undergoing Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) are women in reproductive age. It is not known if bariatric surgery affects the pharmacokinetics of oral contraceptives. Objectives: The primary objective was to evaluate ethinylestradiol (EE) and levonorgestrel (LNG) absorption in women undergoing RYGB, compared with nonoperated controls matched by age and body mass index (BMI). A secondary objective was to assess whether the time since surgery and BMI in the postoperative period influenced the absorption parameters. Setting: University hospital, Brazil. Methods: This study was designed to compare the maximum plasma concentration (C-max), the time to the peak plasma level (T-max), the area under the curve (AUC(0-8) and AUC(0-infinity)) after a single dose of a combined oral contraceptive with 0.03 mg EE and 0.15 mg LNG among 20 women after RYGB and 20 controls. Blood samples were obtained for 8 hours. Results: The mean LNG AUC(0-8) and LNG AUC(0-infinity) were higher in RYGB group (P = .048 and P = .004, respectively). We found a positive correlation for LNG AUC(0-8) (P = .045) and AUC(0-infinity) (P = .004) and the time since surgery, and we found a negative correlation for LNG Cmax (P = .018), AUC(0-8) (P = .003), and AUC(0-infinity) (P = .001) and BMI. Conclusion: No significant differences were found in oral EE pharmacokinetics. The operated group showed higher mean LNG AUC(0-8) and AUC(0-infinity) but it was not considered clinically significant. The present study suggests that RYGB may not affect EE and LNG absorption.

    Differences in the gut microbiota of women according to ultra- processed food consumption
    (2023) FERNANDES, Ariana E.; ROSA, Paula W. L.; MELO, Maria E.; MARTINS, Roberta C. R.; SANTIN, Fernanda G. O.; MOURA, Aline M. S. H.; COELHO, Graziele S. M. A.; SABINO, Ester C.; CERCATO, Cintia; MANCINI, Marcio C.
    Background and aims: High consumption of ultra-processed food (UPF) has been associated with increased risk of obesity and other metabolic diseases, and this dietary pattern seems to be responsible for chronic changes in the gut microbiota. The aim of this study was to assess the associations of UPF with the gut microbiota and obesity-associated biometrics in women. Methods and results: This cross-sectional study examined 59 women. The following parameters were evaluated: food consumption using NOVA classification, anthropometric and metabolic parameters, and gut microbiome by next-generation sequencing. The mean age was 28.0 & PLUSMN; 6.6 years. The mean caloric intake was 1624 & PLUSMN; 531 kcal, of which unprocessed or minimally processed food (G1) accounted for 52.4 & PLUSMN; 13.5%, and UPF accounted for 31.4 & PLUSMN; 13.6%. Leptin levels adjusted for fat mass were negatively associated with G1 and positively associated with UPF. We found 15 species in the gut microbiota that correlated with G1 (3 positively and 12 negatively) and 9 species associated with UPF (5 positively and 4 negatively). Conclusion: Higher consumption of UPF was directly associated with leptin resistance, and this study suggests that the consumption of UPF or G1 may affect the composition of the gut micro biota. & COPY; 2022 The Italian Diabetes Society, the Italian Society for the Study of Atherosclerosis, the Italian Society of Human Nutrition and the Department of Clinical Medicine and Surgery, Federico II University.

    Treatment with Antiobesity Drugs in Weight Regain After Bariatric Surgery: a Retrospective Cohort Study
    (2023) BOGER, Bibiana S.; QUEIROZ, Nara L.; NORIEGA, Paulo E. P.; CANUTO, Maicon C.; STUMPF, Matheo A. M.; CERCATO, Cintia; MANCINI, Marcio C.; MELO, Maria E. de
    Background Bariatric surgery is the most efficient treatment for obesity. However, in some cases, weight regain can occur. Currently, it is unknown the best antiobesity medication (AOM) for such clinical situation. This study aims to evaluate the effect of AOM in patients with weight regain after bariatric surgery. Methods A retrospective cohort study from December 2010 to July 2019 with patients submitted to bariatric surgery that had weight regain and received AOM for at least 2 years. Results Of 96 patients that had weight regain in the analyzed period and received AOM, 16 were excluded from the analysis due to non-compliance (n = 7), treatment failure (n = 5), intolerable side effects with all available AOM (n = 2), or interaction with other medications (n = 2). Eighty patients were included in the analysis. The mean age was 59.0 +/- 10.1 years, 88.8% were female, 91.2% white, and most of them were submitted to gastric bypass (87.6%). The mean preoperative and nadir weight after surgery were 127.9 +/- 25.5 kg and 84.7 +/- 22.8 kg, respectively. At the initiation of AOM, the mean baseline weight was 99.4 +/- 23.1 kg. After 2 years of follow-up, there was significant weight loss in the groups treated with topiramate-alone (- 3.2 kg), topiramate plus sibutramine (- 6.1kg), and orlistat-alone or in combination (- 3.9kg). No statistical difference was observed in the sibutramine- alone group. Conclusion Topiramate (alone or associated with sibutramine) and orlistat (alone or in combination) promoted significant weight loss after 2 years of use in patients submitted to bariatric surgery with weight regain.
