Primary Endpoint
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

Study Overview

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.

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 & Interventions

Hydrolized proteins

Experimental

Group receiving hydrolyzed proteins in the postprandial metabolic test

Intervention: Hydrolyzed Proteins (Dietary Supplement)

Intact proteins

Active Comparator

Group receiving intact proteins in the postprandial metabolic test

Intervention: Intact proteins (Dietary Supplement)

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

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

Time Frame: 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 Outcomes

  • Evaluate post-prandial splanchnic sequestration of dietary amino acids(6 months after By-pass)
  • 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)
  • 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)
  • 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)
  • 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)
  • 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)
