Emerging Markers of Atherosclerosis Before and After Bariatric Surgery

Abstract: ObjectiveThe objective of this study was to assess the emerging biochemical markers of arterial remodeling in patients with morbid obesity before and after surgical treatment and to compare the results to a control group.Material and MethodsThe prospective study included 40 patients with BMI 47.73 ± 6.18 kg/m2, qualified for elective bariatric surgery and re-examined 6 months after the surgery. The control group consisted of non obese, age and sex matched 15 subjects. Following laboratory examinations were per… Show more

“…A strong association between obesity and CHF, the adverse effects of obesity on myocardial structure and function, and the adverse effects of obesity on blood vessel homeostasis have been reported previously. These effects are consistent with our finding of a significant reduction in CHF after metabolic surgery.…”

“…The longitudinal analysis of individual cardiovascular risk factors after bariatric surgery confirms the beneficial effects of metabolic surgery on known CVD risk factors. Other potential mechanisms for the cardiovascular protection conferred by metabolic surgery involve restoration of a normal adipokine secretory profile and a reduction in systemic inflammation, both of which exert direct beneficial effects on the vascular endothelium . Recent evidence suggests that some of the beneficial effects of metabolic surgery occur promptly after surgery, are independent of weight loss, and may involve the enhanced protective function of HDL in addition to increased HDL levels .…”

“…Bariatric surgery, an effective technique for the improvement or resolution of obesity associated comorbidities, is associated with an improvement of subclinical atherosclerosis and endothelial function, and with a reduction in cardiovascular risk . Few studies have analysed the changes in serum PON concentration and activity after a surgical intervention for obesity: PON paraoxonase enzymatic activity increased 6 months after the insertion of a Swedish adjustable gastric band in morbidly obese subjects, the serum amyloid A/PON arylesterase activity ratio was reduced 1 year after bariatric surgery, and PON1 levels were increased 6 months postoperatively in morbidly obese children and adolescents who underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy .…”

“…To the editor: I read with great interest the article by Justyna DomienikKarłowicz et al [1] that assess the emerging biochemical markers of arterial remodeling in female patients with morbid obesity before and after surgical treatment, compared to a control group. I am satisfied with the clear evidence of the reduction in adiponectin, matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2, and MMP-9 levels in the obese patients after bariatric surgery.…”
