Abstract |
Bariatric surgery is a common procedure often used to ameliorate comorbidities associated with obesity, including type 2 diabetes. Substantial weight loss leads to alterations in inflammation and insulin sensitivity as well as numerous metabolic and physiologic pathways. Several inflammatory markers have been evaluated, yet adiponectin, an anti-inflammatory adipokine, has not been fully investigated. Adiponectin may play a key role as a mediator between obesity and inflammation, as lower blood levels are more commonly associated with obesity and type 2 diabetes and because adiponectin lessens insulin resistance. This review evaluates outcome variables from patients who underwent Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) or restrictive bariatric surgery to compare and contrast any differential surgical impacts on weight loss, adiponectin, and insulin. |
