Objectifs: Évaluer si un programme d’entraînement en résistance d’une durée d’un an prévient le regain de poids et majore l’amélioration du profil inflammatoire. Le second objectif de cette étude était de déterminer si la variation du tissu adipeux viscéral est associée aux changements dans les concentrations sanguines des marqueurs inflammatoires. Méthodes: Soixante-dix femmes post-ménopausées en surpoids ou obèses ont été randomisées dans un des deux groupes suivants : (1) Contrôle ou (2) Entraînement en résistance. La composition corporelle (absorptiométrie double à rayons X et tomographie axiale) et les marqueurs inflammatoires (protéine C-réactive, orosomucoïde, haptoglobine) ont été évalués avant et après la période de suivi d’une durée d’un an. Résultats: Suite à la période de suivi, un regain significatif de poids corporel et de masse grasse était observé dans le groupe contrôle et le groupe entraînement en résistance (p < 0,05). Une réduction des concentrations sériques de l’orosomucoïde et une hausse des niveaux sériques de l’haptoglobine étaient également notées dans les deux groupes (p < 0,05). La variation du tissu adipeux viscéral était seulement associée aux changements dans les concentrations sériques de la protéine C-réactive (r = 0,373, p < 0,05). Conclusion: Nos résultats suggèrent que l’entraînement en résistance ne prévient pas le regain de poids corporel et ne majore pas l’amélioration du profil inflammatoire chez des femmes post-ménopausées en surpoids ou obèses. De plus, nos résultats indiquent que la variation du tissu adipeux viscéral ne semble pas être un facteur clé impliqué dans les changements des concentrations sanguines des marqueurs inflammatoires. / Objectives: To evaluate if a 1-year resistance training program improved weight loss maintenance and the inflammatory profile in overweight and obese postmenopausal women. The second objective of this study was to determine if the variation in visceral adipose tissue was associated with the changes in inflammatory markers concentrations. Methods: Seventy overweight and obese postmenopausal women were randomized to a control group or a resistance training group. Body composition (dual energy X-ray absorptiometry and computed tomography) and inflammatory markers (C-reactive protein, orosomucoid, haptoglobin) were measured before and after the 1-year weight loss maintenance intervention. Results: Following the weight loss maintenance intervention, we observed a significant body weight and fat mass regain in the control group and the resistance training group (p < 0.05). Significant reductions in orosomucoid and increases in haptoglobin concentrations were noted in both groups (p < 0.05). The variation in visceral adipose tissue was only associated with the changes in C-reactive protein concentrations (r = 0,373, p < 0.05). Conclusion: Our results suggest that resistance training do not improve weight loss maintenance and the inflammatory profile in overweight and obese postmenopausal women. Moreover, our results indicate that the variation in visceral adipose tissue may not be a key factor implicated in the changes in inflammatory markers concentrations.

Introdução: a cirurgia bariátrica destaca-se como o método mais eficaz no tratamento da obesidade em longo prazo, acarretando remissão significativa das enfermidades associadas ao excesso de peso. Ocorre que os resultados da cirurgia nem sempre são duradouros. Estima-se que 20% a 30% das pessoas que são submetidas ao procedimento bariátrico irão apresentar reganho de peso passados os dois primeiros anos. Objetivo: compreender a experiência de reganho de peso para as pessoas que foram submetidas à cirurgia bariátrica. Método: pesquisa qualitativa de abordagem fenomenológica, realizada em um hospital público de São Paulo. A Amostra foi composta de 17 participantes que apresentaram reganho de peso após a cirurgia bariátrica. Para obtenção dos dados, utilizou-se a entrevista aberta com as seguintes questões norteadoras: Como é para você se perceber ganhando peso novamente? O que você acredita que esteja contribuindo para o seu ganho de peso? Como você lida com o reganho de peso? Como você se vê daqui a alguns anos em relação ao seu peso corporal? A organização e a análise dos depoimentos foram realizadas seguindo os passos preconizados por estudiosos da fenomenologia social de Alfred Schütz. Resultados: o típico da ação vivida pela pessoa que apresenta recidiva de peso após a cirurgia bariátrica mostrou-se como aquela que: atribui o reganho de peso à instabilidade emocional, que a leva a dificuldades no controle do comportamento alimentar; afirma que o estresse, a ansiedade e a solidão contribuem para o reganho de peso; associa a recidiva de peso a alterações anatômicas relacionadas à cirurgia; expressa sentimentos como derrota, culpa e tristeza; refere consequências físicas, psíquicas e sociais advindas da recuperação de peso, medo de engordar demais e ficar sem saída; relata consumo excessivo de álcool; tem como expectativa controlar o peso com vistas a impactar positivamente sua qualidade de vida, para tanto, necessita suporte multidisciplinar para as questões físicas e emocionais envolvidas no reganho de peso; almeja se submeter a uma nova cirurgia bariátrica e a cirurgia plástica para melhorar a autoestima. Conclusões: os achados ilustram o quanto o fenômeno reganho de peso é complexo em seus aspectos biopsicoemocionais e necessita uma escuta individualizada e qualificada, acolhendo as questões subjetivas vividas por aqueles que foram submetidos à cirurgia bariátrica e estão passando pela situação de recuperação de peso. Acredita-se que a discussão proporcionada por esta investigação reforce a necessidade de as equipes de saúde investirem nos encontros com o paciente bariátrico, pautados na relação intersubjetiva que respeite e considere o outro, compartilhando decisões e contribuindo para que os pacientes se tornem ativos na produção de sua saúde e corresponsáveis pelo êxito no alcance e manutenção do peso desejado. / Introduction: bariatric surgery stands out as the most effective method in the long-term treatment of obesity, leading to significant remission of diseases associated with overweight. However, the results of the surgery are not always long lasting. It is estimated that 20% to 30% of the people who undergo the bariatric surgery will regain weight after the first two years. Aim: to understand the experience of weight regain to people who were subjected to bariatric surgery. Method: qualitative research with a phenomenological approach, conducted in a public hospital of Sao Paulo. The sample was composed of 17 participants who presented weight regain after bariatric surgery. To collect the data, an open interview was used with the following guiding questions: How is it to you, to notice yourself gaining weight again? What do you believe is contributing to your weight gain? How do you deal with the weight regain? How do you see yourself in a few years, in relation to your body weight? The organization and analysis of the interviews were conducted following the steps recommended by scholars of the social phenomenology of Alfred Schütz. Results: the typical action experienced by people with weight regain after bariatric surgery showed up as one that: assigns the weight regain to an emotional instability that leads them to difficulties in the control of eating behaviour; states that stress, anxiety and loneliness contributes to weight regain; associates the recurrence of overweight to anatomical changes related to the surgery; expresses feelings of defeat, guilt and sadness; points out physical and mental consequences arising from the weight regain; fears gaining too much weight and losing control; report excessive alcohol consumption; has the expectation of controlling the weight gain in order to positively impact the quality of life, thus, requires multidisciplinary support for issues regarding weight regain; intend to undergo another bariatric surgery and a plastic surgery to improve self-esteem. Conclusions: the findings illustrate how the phenomenon of weight regain is complex in its bio-psycho-emotional aspects and requires an individualized and qualified attention, welcoming of the subjective issues experienced by those who were submitted to a bariatric surgery and are going through a situation of weight regain. It is believed that the discussion on this research reinforces the need of the healthcare teams to invest on a follow-up of bariatric patients, based on an intersubjective relationship that respects and considers the other, sharing decisions and contributing to the patients becoming active in the production of their health and partners in the success of reaching and maintaining their desired weight.

Its prevalence has been increasing, with alarming data in Brazil and elsewhere. Globally, Brazil ranks second in number of bariatric surgeries, but surgical treatment is a challenge for the patients and the teams that provide care for these patients. Given the above, the present study aimed to assess changes in nutritional status and identify nutritional deficiencies before and 10 years after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. This retrospective study lasted two years and included 166 patients submitted to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass at a private clinic. The statistical analyses included the chi-square, Fisher?s, Mann-Whitney, and Wilcoxon tests, analysis of variance (ANOVA), and generalized estimating equations. The significance level was set at 5%. At the ten-year follow-up, the percentage of excess weight loss (%EWL), body mass index (BMI), and weight regain were 51.64?18.03 (p<0.0001), 32.53?4.83 kg/m2 (p<0.0001), and 41% (p<0.0001), respectively, and the lipid and blood glucose profiles had improved (p<0.0001). Iron-deficiency anemia was found in 37.5% and 45.0% of the patients who attended the 10-year follow-up based on ferritin levels <15 ug/L and <30 ug/L, respectively. The effect of time was significant for hemoglobin, ferritin, iron overload (p<0.0001), and hematocrit (p=0.0007). Vitamin D deficiency was found in 29 patients (82.86%), and high parathormone (PTH), in 13 (41.94%). The effect of time was significant for PTH (p=0.0059). In conclusion, gastric bypass was a surgical success and improved the metabolic profile. Weight regain increased over time. The nutritional outcomes were iron-deficiency anemia and vitamin D deficiency associated with secondary hyperparathyroidism. These findings reaffirm the importance of multidisciplinary care and monitoring of nutritional deficiencies for the treatment of morbid obesity. / A obesidade m?rbida considerada uma doen?a cr?nica e multifatorial, que ocasiona desordens metab?licas e aumenta o risco de morbidade, vem crescendo, com dados alarmantes no Brasil e no Mundo. O Brasil ? o segundo Pa?s que mais realiza cirurgia bari?trica, sendo o tratamento cir?rgico, um desafio para os pacientes e para as equipes envolvidas no cuidado destes pacientes. Diante do exposto, o presente trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar a evolu??o do estado nutricional e identificar as defici?ncias nutricionais no pr? e no p?s-operat?rio de pacientes submetidos ao bypass g?strico em Y-de-Roux, com 10 anos de seguimento. O estudo realizado em dois anos, com delineamento retrospectivo longitudinal, envolveu 166 pacientes submetidos ao bypass g?strico em Y-de-Roux, em uma cl?nica privada. Na an?lise estat?stica, utilizou-se os testes Qui-Quadrado, Fisher, Mann-Whitney, Anova, Wilcoxon e Equa??es de Estimativas Generalizadas. O n?vel de signific?ncia adotado foi de 5%. Os resultados deste estudo, ap?s 10 anos de seguimento, demostraram percentual de perda do excesso de peso (%PEP) de 51,64?18,03 (p<0,0001); Indice de Massa Corporal (IMC) de 32,53?4,83 kg/m2 (p<0,0001); reganho de peso de 41% (p<0,0001). O perfil lip?dico e glic?mico diminuiu ao longo de 10 anos de seguimento (p<0,0001). Dos pacientes que permaneceram no estudo at? o final de 120 meses, 37,5% e 45,0%, apresentaram diagn?stico de anemia ferropriva, considerando-se os crit?rios utilizados de ferritina <15 ug/L e ferritina <30 ug/L, respectivamente. O efeito do tempo foi significativo para a hemoglobina, ferritina e sobrecarga de ferro, (p<0,0001) e hemat?crito (p=0,0007). Em rela??o ao metabolismo do c?lcio, 82,86% (29), apresentaram n?veis de defici?ncia de vitamina D e 41,94% (13) apresentaram PTH elevado. O efeito do tempo foi significativo para o PTH (p=0,0059). Em conclus?o, pacientes submetidos ao bypass g?strico, apresentaram sucesso cir?rgico e melhora do perfil metab?lico. O reganho de peso aumentou com o tempo de seguimento. A anemia ferropriva e a defici?ncia de vitamina D, associada ao hiperparatireoidismo secund?rio, foram desfechos nutricionais encontrados Tais achados reafirmam a import?ncia do cuidado multidisciplinar e ? aten??o ?s defici?ncias nutricionais para o tratamento da obesidade m?rbida.

Objectifs: Évaluer si un programme d’entraînement en résistance d’une durée d’un an prévient le regain de poids et majore l’amélioration du profil inflammatoire. Le second objectif de cette étude était de déterminer si la variation du tissu adipeux viscéral est associée aux changements dans les concentrations sanguines des marqueurs inflammatoires. Méthodes: Soixante-dix femmes post-ménopausées en surpoids ou obèses ont été randomisées dans un des deux groupes suivants : (1) Contrôle ou (2) Entraînement en résistance. La composition corporelle (absorptiométrie double à rayons X et tomographie axiale) et les marqueurs inflammatoires (protéine C-réactive, orosomucoïde, haptoglobine) ont été évalués avant et après la période de suivi d’une durée d’un an. Résultats: Suite à la période de suivi, un regain significatif de poids corporel et de masse grasse était observé dans le groupe contrôle et le groupe entraînement en résistance (p < 0,05). Une réduction des concentrations sériques de l’orosomucoïde et une hausse des niveaux sériques de l’haptoglobine étaient également notées dans les deux groupes (p < 0,05). La variation du tissu adipeux viscéral était seulement associée aux changements dans les concentrations sériques de la protéine C-réactive (r = 0,373, p < 0,05). Conclusion: Nos résultats suggèrent que l’entraînement en résistance ne prévient pas le regain de poids corporel et ne majore pas l’amélioration du profil inflammatoire chez des femmes post-ménopausées en surpoids ou obèses.

The second objective of this study was to determine if the variation in visceral adipose tissue was associated with the changes in inflammatory markers concentrations. Methods: Seventy overweight and obese postmenopausal women were randomized to a control group or a resistance training group.

Objetivou-se avaliar a viabilidade, eficácia e segurança da dilatação endoscópica do anel com balão de acalasia – Rigiflex®, bem como a evolução ponderal que se segue ao procedimento. Procedeu-se a um estudo longitudinal retrospectivo, com avaliação de dados coletados prospectivamente. A coorte estudada foi submetida ao procedimento proposto no Hospital das Clínicas da UFPE, entre 2002 e 2011, sendo composta por pacientes advindos de serviços de cirurgia bariátrica, em diferentes regiões do Brasil. Foram incluídos 63 pacientes (45 mulheres e 18 homens), com média de idade de 42,4 anos, com quadro de vômitos pós-alimentares em frequência superior a quatro episódios semanais. A efetividade do método baseou-se na melhora dos sintomas obstrutivos, tendo sido empregadas até quatro sessões. Avaliou-se a evolução do índice de massa corporal (IMC), do percentual de excesso de peso (%EP) e do percentual de perda de excesso de peso (%PEP) da amostra em relação aos períodos pré-operatório, da dilatação e do seguimento tardio. Houve melhora completa da sintomatologia inicial em 59 casos (93,6%) e parcial, em dois casos (3,2%). Houve complicações leves em seis casos (9,6%), todos tratados clinicamente. Após seguimento mediano de 43 meses houve incremento médio no IMC de 2,5 kg/m². A dilatação endoscópica com balão, método minimamente invasivo, mostrou-se viável, segura e eficaz, observando-se pequeno aumento ponderal na avaliação tardia. / The placement of a ring on Roux-en-y gastric bypass (RYGB) can lead to food intolerance, even in the absence of stenosis, and its surgical removal is the usual treatment. The purpose of this retrospective, longitudinal study, which evaluated prospectively collected data, was to evaluate the feasibility, efficacy and safety of endoscopic ring dilation with achalasia balloon - Rigiflex®, as well as the weight gain following the procedure. The patients enrolled in this cohort came from different bariatric services in Brazil and underwent the proposed procedure at Hospital das Clínicas of UFPE, between 2002 and 2011. Sixty three patients (45 women and 18 men) with a mean age of 42.4 years who had more than four post-prandial vomiting episodes per week were included. The effectiveness of the method was based on the improvement in obstructive symptoms, after up to four sessions. The body mass index (BMI), the percentage of excess weight (% EW) and the percentage of excess weight loss (% EWL) of the subjects were evaluated in relation to the preoperative period, the dilation moment and the late follow-up. There was full improvement of the initial symptoms in 59 cases (93.6%) and partial, in two cases (3.2%). Minor complications were observed in six cases (9.6%), which were all treated clinically. After median follow-up of 43 months there was an average BMI increase of 2.5 kg / m². Endoscopic balloon dilation, which is a minimally invasive method, proved to be feasible, safe and effective with a slight weight gain in late evaluation.

Les facteurs de risque des maladies cardiovasculaires, telle, que la détérioration du profil lipidique, deviennent plus prononcés après la ménopause, ce qui fait de la maladie coronarienne, l’une des principales causes de décès chez les femmes ménopausées. Une proportion importante de femmes prennent du poids après la ménopause en particulier dans la région abdominale entraînant par conséquent des perturbations métaboliques. Des données récentes suggèrent également que l’absence des œstrogènes observée à la ménopause favorise le développement de la stéatose hépatique. Cette dernière a été incriminée pour incriminée dans le développement de la résistance à l'insuline, et est de ce fait considérée comme une composante hépatique du syndrome métabolique. Il est impératif d'établir des stratégies visant à contrecarrer l'accumulation de graisse dans le foie et l’accroissement du tissu adipeux chez les femmes ménopausées, en tenant compte que l'utilisation de l'hormonothérapie substitutive est de nos jours moins soutenue. Les quatre études de la présente thèse ont été conduites pour tenter de fournir des informations sur le traitement et la prévention de l’augmentation de la masse graisseuse et de la stéatose hépatique qu’entraîne la suppression des œstrogènes, à travers les modifications du mode de vie (diète et exercice physique) chez la rate ovariectomizée (Ovx); un modèle animal de la ménopause. Dans les deux premières études nous nous sommes concentrés sur l’augmentation de la masse graisseuse et sa reprise suite à une perte de poids. Dans la première étude, nous avons montré que les rates Ovx qui ont suivi un programme de restriction alimentaire (FR) ont diminué significativement (P < 0.01) leur poids corporel, leur contenu en graisses intra-abdominales ainsi que leurs triacylglycérols (TAG) hépatiques, comparativement aux rates Ovx nourries à la diète normale. De plus, l’entraînement en résistance (RT) a prévenu la reprise de poids corporel ainsi que l’accroissement du tissu adipeux et l’accumulation de lipides dans le foie des rates Ovx, après l’arrêt du régime amaigrissant. Les résultats de la deuxième étude ont confirmé l'efficacité de la restriction alimentaire associée à l’entraînement en résistance (FR + RT) dans la réduction du poids corporel, des lipides dans le foie et le tissu adipeux chez les rates Ovx. Tenant compte des résultats de notre première étude, l’entraînement en résistance seulement a constitué un atout pour atténuer le poids corporel et la masse grasse reprise par les rates Ovx suite à un programme de perte de poids (FR + RT); bien que l'impact ait été moindre comparé au maintien seul de la restriction alimentaire. De la même manière que la supplémentation en œstrogènes, les résultats de la troisième étude indiquent que l'entraînement en endurance mené concurremment avec l’ovariectomie a significativement atténué l'accumulation de lipides dans le foie ainsi que dans le tissu adipeux. Toutefois, l’entraînement en endurance effectué avant l'ovariectomie n'a pas protégé contre l'accumulation des graisses qu’entraîne l'ovariectomie, si celui-ci est interrompu après l'ovariectomie. Enfin, pour compléter les résultats antérieurs, nous avons montré dans la quatrième étude que l’expression des gènes impliqués dans la synthèse de lipide; SREBP-1c, SCD-1, ChREBP, et ACC dans le foie a augmenté après le retrait des œstrogènes, tandis qu’une diminution (P < 0.01) des niveaux d'ARNm de PPAR-α a été observée. De plus, l'expression hépatique des gènes des cytokines pro-inflammatoires incluant IKKβ, IL-6 ainsi que le contenu protéinique de NF-кB étaient augmentés (P < 0.01) chez les rates Ovx par rapport aux rates ayant subi une Ovx simulée (Sham). Toutes ces perturbations ont été améliorées avec la supplémentation en œstrogènes seulement, ainsi qu'avec l'entraînement en endurance seulement. Dans l'ensemble, nos résultats indiquent que l'exercice physique (en résistance ou en endurance) a un impact significatif sur la réduction de l'accumulation des lipides dans le foie et dans le tissu adipeux des rates Ovx. De plus, chez les rates Ovx, l’entraînement en endurance mimerait les effets des œstrogènes sur l'expression des gènes impliqués dans l'accumulation de lipides et l’inflammation préclinique dans le foie. / Cardiovascular disease risk factors, such as lipid profile deterioration, become more pronounced after menopause making coronary heart disease a leading cause of death among postmenopausal women. A large proportion of women after menopause gain weight especially in the abdominal region resulting in several metabolic disturbances. Recent evidence also suggests that loss of estrogen function in menopause is associated with the development of a state of hepatic steatosis. Excessive fat accumulation in hepatocytes has been shown to play an important role in the development of insulin resistance and is even considered as a hepatic component of the metabolic syndrome. There is an important need to establish strategies to counteract fat accumulation in adipocyte and liver in postmenopausal women specifically considering the fact that utilization of hormone replacement therapy is now less supported. The four studies of the present thesis have been conducted in an attempt to provide information on the treatment and prevention of estrogen withdrawal-induced fat mass and hepatic steatosis via lifestyle modifications (diet and exercise training) in an ovariectomized (Ovx) rat model of menopause. In the first two studies we focused on fat mass gain and regain following weight loss. In study 1, we showed that food restriction program (FR) decreased (P < 0.01) body mass, intra-abdominal fat pad weight, and liver triacylglycerol (TAG) levels as compared to normally fed Ovx rats. Moreover, resistance training program (RT) was useful in preventing body weight as well as adipose tissue and liver fat regain in Ovx rats, following diet-induced weight loss. Results of study 2 confirmed the efficiency of the FR + RT program in reducing body weight as well as liver and adipocytes fat accretion in Ovx rats. In line with the findings of our first study, continuation of only RT constituted an asset to attenuate body weight and fat mass regain in Ovx rats following a FR + RT weight loss program, although the impact was less than maintaining FR alone. Similar to estrogen supplementation, results of study 3 indicated that endurance exercise training conducted concurrently with the induction of ovariectomy significantly attenuated liver and adipocyte fat accumulation. However, an endurance exercise training state acquired before ovariectomy did not provide any protective effects against ovariectomy-induced fat accumulation if exercise is discontinued after the ovariectomy. Finally, complementing previous findings we showed in study 4 that liver gene expressions of transcription factors SREBP-1c and ChREBP along with downstream lipogenic enzymes SCD-1 and ACC were increased with estrogens withdrawal conversely to reduced PPAR-α mRNA levels (P < 0.01). Furthermore, gene expressions of pro-inflammatory cytokines including IKKβ and IL-6 as well as protein content of NF-кB were higher (P < 0.01) in the liver of Ovx than in Sham animals. All of these responses were corrected with estrogen supplementation alone as well as with endurance exercise training alone in Ovx rats. On the whole, our results indicate that exercise training (resistance or endurance) has a significant impact on reducing fat accumulation in liver and adipocytes in Ovx rats. In addition, it seems that endurance exercise training in Ovx rats stimulates estrogenic-like effects on the expression of genes involved in lipid accumulation and sub-clinical inflammation in the liver.

Les facteurs de risque des maladies cardiovasculaires, telle, que la détérioration du profil lipidique, deviennent plus prononcés après la ménopause, ce qui fait de la maladie coronarienne, l’une des principales causes de décès chez les femmes ménopausées. Une proportion importante de femmes prennent du poids après la ménopause en particulier dans la région abdominale entraînant par conséquent des perturbations métaboliques. Des données récentes suggèrent également que l’absence des œstrogènes observée à la ménopause favorise le développement de la stéatose hépatique. Cette dernière a été incriminée pour incriminée dans le développement de la résistance à l'insuline, et est de ce fait considérée comme une composante hépatique du syndrome métabolique. Il est impératif d'établir des stratégies visant à contrecarrer l'accumulation de graisse dans le foie et l’accroissement du tissu adipeux chez les femmes ménopausées, en tenant compte que l'utilisation de l'hormonothérapie substitutive est de nos jours moins soutenue. Les quatre études de la présente thèse ont été conduites pour tenter de fournir des informations sur le traitement et la prévention de l’augmentation de la masse graisseuse et de la stéatose hépatique qu’entraîne la suppression des œstrogènes, à travers les modifications du mode de vie (diète et exercice physique) chez la rate ovariectomizée (Ovx); un modèle animal de la ménopause. Dans les deux premières études nous nous sommes concentrés sur l’augmentation de la masse graisseuse et sa reprise suite à une perte de poids. Dans la première étude, nous avons montré que les rates Ovx qui ont suivi un programme de restriction alimentaire (FR) ont diminué significativement (P < 0.01) leur poids corporel, leur contenu en graisses intra-abdominales ainsi que leurs triacylglycérols (TAG) hépatiques, comparativement aux rates Ovx nourries à la diète normale. De plus, l’entraînement en résistance (RT) a prévenu la reprise de poids corporel ainsi que l’accroissement du tissu adipeux et l’accumulation de lipides dans le foie des rates Ovx, après l’arrêt du régime amaigrissant. Les résultats de la deuxième étude ont confirmé l'efficacité de la restriction alimentaire associée à l’entraînement en résistance (FR + RT) dans la réduction du poids corporel, des lipides dans le foie et le tissu adipeux chez les rates Ovx. Tenant compte des résultats de notre première étude, l’entraînement en résistance seulement a constitué un atout pour atténuer le poids corporel et la masse grasse reprise par les rates Ovx suite à un programme de perte de poids (FR + RT); bien que l'impact ait été moindre comparé au maintien seul de la restriction alimentaire. De la même manière que la supplémentation en œstrogènes, les résultats de la troisième étude indiquent que l'entraînement en endurance mené concurremment avec l’ovariectomie a significativement atténué l'accumulation de lipides dans le foie ainsi que dans le tissu adipeux. Toutefois, l’entraînement en endurance effectué avant l'ovariectomie n'a pas protégé contre l'accumulation des graisses qu’entraîne l'ovariectomie, si celui-ci est interrompu après l'ovariectomie. Enfin, pour compléter les résultats antérieurs, nous avons montré dans la quatrième étude que l’expression des gènes impliqués dans la synthèse de lipide; SREBP-1c, SCD-1, ChREBP, et ACC dans le foie a augmenté après le retrait des œstrogènes, tandis qu’une diminution (P < 0.01) des niveaux d'ARNm de PPAR-α a été observée. De plus, l'expression hépatique des gènes des cytokines pro-inflammatoires incluant IKKβ, IL-6 ainsi que le contenu protéinique de NF-кB étaient augmentés (P < 0.01) chez les rates Ovx par rapport aux rates ayant subi une Ovx simulée (Sham). Toutes ces perturbations ont été améliorées avec la supplémentation en œstrogènes seulement, ainsi qu'avec l'entraînement en endurance seulement. Dans l'ensemble, nos résultats indiquent que l'exercice physique (en résistance ou en endurance) a un impact significatif sur la réduction de l'accumulation des lipides dans le foie et dans le tissu adipeux des rates Ovx. De plus, chez les rates Ovx, l’entraînement en endurance mimerait les effets des œstrogènes sur l'expression des gènes impliqués dans l'accumulation de lipides et l’inflammation préclinique dans le foie. / Cardiovascular disease risk factors, such as lipid profile deterioration, become more pronounced after menopause making coronary heart disease a leading cause of death among postmenopausal women. A large proportion of women after menopause gain weight especially in the abdominal region resulting in several metabolic disturbances. Recent evidence also suggests that loss of estrogen function in menopause is associated with the development of a state of hepatic steatosis. Excessive fat accumulation in hepatocytes has been shown to play an important role in the development of insulin resistance and is even considered as a hepatic component of the metabolic syndrome. There is an important need to establish strategies to counteract fat accumulation in adipocyte and liver in postmenopausal women specifically considering the fact that utilization of hormone replacement therapy is now less supported. The four studies of the present thesis have been conducted in an attempt to provide information on the treatment and prevention of estrogen withdrawal-induced fat mass and hepatic steatosis via lifestyle modifications (diet and exercise training) in an ovariectomized (Ovx) rat model of menopause. In the first two studies we focused on fat mass gain and regain following weight loss. In study 1, we showed that food restriction program (FR) decreased (P < 0.01) body mass, intra-abdominal fat pad weight, and liver triacylglycerol (TAG) levels as compared to normally fed Ovx rats. Moreover, resistance training program (RT) was useful in preventing body weight as well as adipose tissue and liver fat regain in Ovx rats, following diet-induced weight loss. Results of study 2 confirmed the efficiency of the FR + RT program in reducing body weight as well as liver and adipocytes fat accretion in Ovx rats. In line with the findings of our first study, continuation of only RT constituted an asset to attenuate body weight and fat mass regain in Ovx rats following a FR + RT weight loss program, although the impact was less than maintaining FR alone. Similar to estrogen supplementation, results of study 3 indicated that endurance exercise training conducted concurrently with the induction of ovariectomy significantly attenuated liver and adipocyte fat accumulation. However, an endurance exercise training state acquired before ovariectomy did not provide any protective effects against ovariectomy-induced fat accumulation if exercise is discontinued after the ovariectomy. Finally, complementing previous findings we showed in study 4 that liver gene expressions of transcription factors SREBP-1c and ChREBP along with downstream lipogenic enzymes SCD-1 and ACC were increased with estrogens withdrawal conversely to reduced PPAR-α mRNA levels (P < 0.01). Furthermore, gene expressions of pro-inflammatory cytokines including IKKβ and IL-6 as well as protein content of NF-кB were higher (P < 0.01) in the liver of Ovx than in Sham animals. All of these responses were corrected with estrogen supplementation alone as well as with endurance exercise training alone in Ovx rats. On the whole, our results indicate that exercise training (resistance or endurance) has a significant impact on reducing fat accumulation in liver and adipocytes in Ovx rats. In addition, it seems that endurance exercise training in Ovx rats stimulates estrogenic-like effects on the expression of genes involved in lipid accumulation and sub-clinical inflammation in the liver.
