    Abstract:
    Nearly 80% of patients that receive bariatric surgery are women, yet mechanistic preclinical studies have focused on males. The goal of this study was to determine the metabolic impact of diet- and surgery-induced weight loss in males, females, and ovariectomized females. All mice were fed a 60% high-fat diet (HFD) before undergoing either vertical sleeve gastrectomy (VSG) or sham surgery. Mice either remained on an HFD or were switched to a standard chow diet postsurgically. When maintained on an HFD, males and females decreased fat mass and improved oral glucose tolerance after VSG. After dietary intervention, additional adiposity was lost in both surgical groups. Ovariectomized females showed a blunted decrease in fat mass on an HFD, but lost significant adiposity after dietary intervention. Energy expenditure was impacted by dietary and not surgical intervention across all groups. Males decreased hepatic triglyceride levels after VSG, which was further decreased after dietary intervention. Intact and ovariectomized females had a blunted decrease in hepatic triglycerides after VSG, but a significant decrease after dietary intervention. The more pronounced effect of VSG on hepatic lipids in males is strongly associated with changes in hepatic expression of genes and microRNAs previously linked to hepatic lipid regulation and systemic energy homeostasis. These data highlight the importance of postsurgical diet on metabolic outcomes across sexes. Furthermore, these data suggest the impact of VSG on hepatic triglycerides is diet-dependent in females and support the hypothesis that males and females achieve similar metabolic outcome, at least within the liver, via distinct mechanisms.NEW & NOTEWORTHY These data highlight the interaction of postsurgical diet after bariatric surgery on metabolic outcomes across sexes.
