Abstract
Introduction: Obesity, a major global health concern, is a known risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD), often due to dyslipidemia and insulin resistance. Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is an effective weight reduction surgery that not only alters body metabolism and gastrointestinal physiology but also significantly lowers cardiovascular disease risk.
Methods: This study explores the impact of weight loss on serum high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), an established inflammatory marker, and changes in cardiovascular risk factors, particularly high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) ratios, serum apo A-1, lipid profile, and HOMA-IR in severe obesity undergoing LSG. Anthropometric measurements and blood samples were collected preoperatively and 6 months postoperatively to hs-CRP, HOMA-IR, lipid profile, apo A-1, and low- and high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C/HDL-C) ratios, total cholesterol to HDL-C (TC/HDL-C) ratio, and monocyte to high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol ratio (MHR).
Results: In total, 70 patients were analyzed after 6 months and reached %TWL 27.4 ± 9.5 and %EWL 62.0 ± 15.4. Significant improvements were noted in all measured biomarkers. Analysis showed that each unit reduction in BMI significantly affected hs-CRP and HDL-C. Furthermore, moderate associations between hs-CRP and various cardiovascular disease risk biomarkers, including a negative correlation with apo A-1 and positive correlations with total cholesterol (TC), TC/HDL-C, and LDL-C/HDL-C, along with a mild positive correlation with HOMA-IR.
Conclusion: Weight loss following LSG significantly reduced inflammation and improved atheroprotection. Improved inflammation markers were associated with favorable changes in cardiovascular risk factors, including HDL-C ratios particularly TC/HDL-C, LDL-C/HDL-C, and apo A-1.
期刊介绍:
Obesity Surgery is the official journal of the International Federation for the Surgery of Obesity and metabolic disorders (IFSO). A journal for bariatric/metabolic surgeons, Obesity Surgery provides an international, interdisciplinary forum for communicating the latest research, surgical and laparoscopic techniques, for treatment of massive obesity and metabolic disorders. Topics covered include original research, clinical reports, current status, guidelines, historical notes, invited commentaries, letters to the editor, medicolegal issues, meeting abstracts, modern surgery/technical innovations, new concepts, reviews, scholarly presentations and opinions.
Obesity Surgery benefits surgeons performing obesity/metabolic surgery, general surgeons and surgical residents, endoscopists, anesthetists, support staff, nurses, dietitians, psychiatrists, psychologists, plastic surgeons, internists including endocrinologists and diabetologists, nutritional scientists, and those dealing with eating disorders.
