Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The gastric bypass can reduce the bioavailability of food proteins. The bioavailability of hydrolyzed proteins may be higher than intact proteins. Thus, the use of hydrolyzed proteins could compensate for the decrease in protein bioavailability observed after gastric By-pass in morbidly obese patients.

The effectiveness of a hydrolyzed protein intake may be higher than that of an intact protein intake to improve the status of a By-pass.

The hypothesis would be that the use of hydrolyzed proteins would compensate for the decrease in bioavailability of food proteins caused by gastric By-pass.

  • Dietary Supplement: Intact proteins

Detailed Description

Surgery is beneficial in terms of weight loss, correction of comorbidities and life expectancy but adverse effects can occur among which various nutritional deficiencies. Thus, in some cases, more or less marked protein undernutrition may be observed.

To overcome this protein undernutrition, protein supplements can be proposed. However, their effectiveness has not been satisfactorily assessed in this situation to date. Indeed, the protein malabsorption potentially induced by the By-pass limits its impact. The value of protein supplementation must also be considered in terms of overall efficacy, taking into account a possible decrease in spontaneous intake related to supplementation.

For the bioavailability studies, milk proteins will be presented in two different forms of the same origin: intact or hydrolyzed proteins. The proteins of the test meal are marked with 15N nitrogen.

For the three months daily supplementation period, the supplements will be intact proteins not marked with 15N nitrogen, provided to patients in the form of individual sachets. The purpose of this supplementation is to help the patient achieve the protein recommendations, which is 60 g/d.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Hydrolized proteins

Group receiving hydrolyzed proteins in the postprandial metabolic test

Dietary Supplement: Hydrolyzed Proteins
Patients in experimental arm will receive a test meal based on marked hydrolyzed proteins

Active Comparator: Intact proteins

Group receiving intact proteins in the postprandial metabolic test

Dietary Supplement: Intact proteins
Patients in active comparator arm will receive a meal based on intact marked proteins.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Compare the evolution of the bioavailability of hydrolyzed milk proteins to the intact milk proteins in obese patients who have received a By-pass, using the Nitrogen-15 (15N) labelled test meal method [6 months after By-pass]

    The evolution of bioavailability will be evaluated by the delta of post-prandial bioavailability of food proteins (hydrolysed vs intact) before and 6 months after By-pass.

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Evaluate the effect of daily milk protein supplementation administered for 3 months after a post-surgery recovery period of 3 months on protein status in obese patients who had a By-pass. [6 months after By-pass]

    The effect of an intact milk protein supplementation, administered between 3 months and 6 months after the By-pass, will be evaluated by the variation of albuminemia measured by DEXA and by impedancemetry before 3 months and 6 months after By-pass. he effect of an intact milk protein supplementation, administered between 3 months and 6 months after the By-pass, will be evaluated by the variation of pre-albuminemia measured by DEXA and by impedancemetry before 3 months and 6 months after By-pass. he effect of an intact milk protein supplementation, administered between 3 months and 6 months after the By-pass, will be evaluated by the variation of lean mass measured by DEXA and by impedancemetry before 3 months and 6 months after By-pass.

  2. Evaluate the compliance with supplementation of an intact milk protein administered for 3 months after a post-surgery recovery period of 3 months, in obese patients who had a By-pass, as well as its contribution to daily protein intake. [6 months after By-pass]

    The compliance of an intact milk protein supplementation, administered between 3 months and 6 months after the By-pass, will be evaluated by the variation in food intake and protein intake, determined in a food survey

  3. Evaluate the compliance with supplementation of an intact milk protein administered for 3 months, after a post-surgery recovery period of 3 months, on spontaneous food consumption in obese patients who had a By-pass. [6 months after By-pass]

    The compliance of an intact milk protein supplementation, administered between 3 months and 6 months after the By-pass, will be evaluated by the variation in food intake and protein intake.

  4. Evaluate the effect of an intact milk protein supplementation administered for 3 months after a post-surgery recovery period of 3 months, on the quality of life in obese patients who have undergone a By-pass surgery. [6 months after By-pass]

    The effect of administered an intact protein supplementation between 3 months and 6 months after the By-pass on quality of life will be assessed using the Obesity Weight Loss Quality of Life (OWLQOL).

  5. Evaluate post-prandial splanchnic sequestration of dietary amino acids [6 months after By-pass]

    The transfer of 15N nitrogen is evaluated after determination of the enrichment by isotope ratio mass spectrometry (IRMS), the main endpoint is the rate of transfer of 15N nitrogen into the metabolic pools: plasma proteins, plasma urea and urine. In addition, the 15N and 13C isotopic ratios will be determined in the individual blood amino acids by mass spectrometry coupled with gas and combustion chromatography (GC-c-IRMS), in order to determine the digestive bioavailability of the amino acids of the proteins of the test meal.

  6. Evaluate the effect of an intact milk protein supplementation administered for 3 months after a post-surgery recovery period of 3 months, on the quality of life in [6 month]

    he effect of administered an intact protein supplementation between 3 months and 6 months after the By-pass on quality of life will be assessed using the Weight-Related Symptom Measure (WRSM) questionnary.
