“…This interpretation is further corroborated by a recent study, which showed improved sour taste after weight-loss induced by bariatric surgery. 33 Also, our findings of both improvement and decrements in performance are incompatible with learning effects from repeated testing in obese children that would yield generally improved but not decreased performance.…”

“…Previous reports have suggested either no difference on sweet and salty taste sensitivity between obese and lean participants (Bertoli et al, 2014;Pepino et al, 2010;Simchen et al, 2006), or even lower sensitivity in obesity for salty (Skrandies & Zschieschang, 2015) for sour (Bertoli et al, 2014), sour and bitter (Simchen et al, 2006), or for sweet, salty, sour and bitter (Proserpio et al, 2015). An improvement of taste detection rates has also been reported after weight loss (Altun et al, 2016). However, it cannot be excluded that the choice of methods and the resolution of the measure (i.e.…”

“…(80,82) An increased taste sensitivity, measured by assessing ability to detect tastes, is seen after bariatric surgery, particularly for sweet and salty stimuli. (83,84) Furthermore, people assign lower hedonic values and reduced liking scores to tastes previously perceived as pleasant. Desire to eat and tendencies toward food-addictive behaviour also decrease following bariatric surgery.…”

Obesity constitutes a major global health threat. Despite the success of bariatric surgery in delivering sustainable weight loss and improvement in obesity-related morbidity, effective non-surgical treatments are urgently needed, necessitating an increased understanding of body weight regulation. Neuroimaging studies undertaken in people with healthy weight, overweight, obesity and following bariatric surgery have contributed to identifying the neurophysiological changes seen in obesity and help increase our understanding of the mechanisms driving the favourable eating behaviour changes and sustained weight loss engendered by bariatric surgery. These studies have revealed a key interplay between peripheral metabolic signals, homeostatic and hedonic brain regions and genetics. Findings from brain functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies have consistently associated obesity with an increased motivational drive to eat, increased reward responses to food cues and impaired food-related self-control processes. Interestingly, new data link these obesity-associated changes with structural and connectivity changes within the central nervous system. Moreover, emerging data suggest that bariatric surgery leads to neuroplastic recovery. A greater understanding of the interactions between peripheral signals of energy balance, the neural substrates that regulate eating behaviour, the environment and genetics will be key for the development of novel therapeutic strategies for obesity. This review provides an overview of our current understanding of the pathoaetiology of obesity with a focus upon the role that fMRI studies have played in enhancing our understanding of the central regulation of eating behaviour and energy homeostasis.

Improved Gustatory Sensitivity in Morbidly Obese Patients After Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy

Abstract: In this study, we were able to show the significant improvement in gustatory sensitivity of morbidly obese patients after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy for the first time in literature.
