Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Measurement of muscle mitochondrial bioenergetics according to BMImuscle biopsy realized during surgery

Measurement of muscle mitochondrial bioenergetics by high resolution oxygraphy

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
on muscle biopsymuscle biopsy realized during surgery

* Quantification of lipids on electron microscope

* Type of muscular fibers

* Analyze of gene expression and proteins involved in 1/ Mitochondrial metabolism 2/ lipid metabolism and 3/ muscular proteolysis by RTqPCR with SyBR Green and Western Blot

on ovarian cancer tumor samplesovarian tumor biopsies realized during surgery

* lipid composition (fatty acids quantification, sterols, steroids)

* RT-qPCR quantification of molecules involved in lipid metabolism (synthesis, transport) and in inflammation (immune profil and cytokines)

* culture of tumour cells to evaluate resistance to chemotherapy (platinum)

on white adipose tissueadipose tissue samples taken during surgery

adipose tissue composition (fatty acids quantification, sterols, steroids)

* RT-qPCR quantification of molecules involved in lipid metabolism (synthesis, transport) and in inflammation (immune profile and cytokines)

* RTqPCR analysis, western blot and immunohistochemical expression of markers of transformation into brown adipose tissue

* in specific milieu, in vitro experimentation on skeletal muscular cells

on computerized tomography1 day of abdominal CT scan imaging procedure performed at diagnosis

assessment of body composition (fat and muscle compartments)
