SG led to improvements in the HFD-feeding induced colonic pro-inflammatory status. (A) Experimental design and timeline (SG n=7; SHAM n=9). (B) Body weight. (C) Mixed meal tolerance test (MMTT). (D) Serum lipids. (E) Length of colon. (F) Cecum weight. (G) Representative H&E-staining images of colon (400x; scale bar, 50 um) and quantification of depth of crypt. (H) Gene expressions of inflammatory cytokines in the colon. (I) Gene expressions of tight junction proteins in the colon. n = 7–9/group; Data are presented as means ± SEM. Two-way ANOVA with post hoc Sidak test for multiple comparisons (B, C) and Student’s t-test (D, I) were used for significance assessments. ****P < 0.0001, ***P < 0.001, **P < 0.01, *P < 0.05. SHAM, sham surgery; SG, sleeve gastrectomy.
