Bariatric surgery  significantly lowered inflammatory factors ; however , baseline BMI , follow-up duration and type of surgery could impact the extent of observed effects
Obesity is one of the main causes of inflammation .
Previous studies have reported inconclusive results regarding the effect of bariatric surgery on inflammatory markers .
This systematic review and meta- analysis is aim ed at describing the effect of bariatric surgery on C-reactive protein ( CRP ) , interleukin-6 ( IL-6 ) , tumor necrosis factor-α ( TNF-α ) .
Endothelial Function in Hypertensive Obese Patients: 1 year After Surgically Induced Weight Loss
The aim of this study was to describe the effect of surgically induced weight loss on vascular function measured by flow-mediated dilatation ( FMD ) in hypertensive obese patients . This prospect i ve study included 33 patients ( 78 % females , mean age 53 ( 9 ) years ) undergoing bariatric surgery ( BS ) .  Before and 12 months postoperatively , the BMI , 24-h ambulatory BP , high-sensitivity C-reactive protein ( hs-CRP ) , leptin , homeostasis model assessment ( HOMA IR ) , and abdominal fat  were measured . Endothelial function was assessed by FMD . After BS , the excess body weight loss was 71 % ; the 24-h [ systolic 18(11)//diastolic 7(7 ) mmHg ] BP values , hs-CRP , leptin , HOMA , and abdominal fat significantly decreased , with no changes in endothelial function . Weight loss achieved by BS was associated with a significant improvement in BP and metabolic and inflammation parameters , but FMD did not improve
