Background: Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery is one of the most efficient
procedures for treating morbid obesity and results in weight-loss and improvements in
metabolism and inflammation. Objective: We examined the impact of RYGB on modifications
of gut microbiota and its potential associations with changes in gene expression in white
adipose tissue (WAT). Design: Gut microbiota were profiled from fecal samples by using
pyrosequencing in morbidly obese individuals, explored before (0 mo), 3 mo after, and 6 mo …
