BackgroundGlucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) is the rate-limiting enzyme of the pentose phosphate pathway that provides the majority of NADPH required for lipid biosynthesis. G6PD overexpression has been implicated in insulin resistance, hyperlipidemia, and increased oxidative stress in animals. This study examines G6PD expression in obese diabetic and nondiabetic subjects pre- and post-laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB).MethodsPatients undergoing LRYGB were recruited for the IRB-approved study and placed in either the diabetic (n= 11) or nondiabetic group (n= 16) (diabetic, HbA1c > 6.5%; nondiabetic, HbA1c < 6.0%). Blood samples were collected at baseline and throughout the first 3 postoperative months. Liver, adipose, and omental samples were taken during surgery. Results are expressed as mean ± SEM and were compared statistically using the Mann–Whitney test.ResultsThe two groups were not significantly different at baseline except for fasting glucose and HbA1c. G6PD activity (nm/min/mg protein) was significantly higher in red blood cells (RBCs) (3.12 ± 1.39 vs. 0.67 ± 0.14) and liver (17.23 ± 2.40 vs. 9.74 ± 2.18) in diabetics compared to nondiabetics. There was good correlation between increased liver G6PD activity and the severity of diabetes as measured by HbA1c (r2= 0.525) and fasting glucose (r2= 0.542). No significant difference was found in the adipose or omental G6PD expression. Both groups experienced a significant increase in G6PD blood activity shortly following surgery (1 week) followed by a reduction 3 months after surgery.ConclusionThese results are the first ever seen in human subjects and demonstrate increased G6PD activity in diabetics compared to nondiabetics. These results suggest a correlation between G6PD activity and the severity of type 2 diabetes. The early increases in G6PD activity after LRYGB were unexpected and longer follow-up is needed to determine the effects of LRYGB on G6PD activity.
