Preoperative leptin fat mass ratio is not a predictive factor of weight loss after bariatric surgery

Rationale: Leptino-resistance (LR) in obese patients may influence weight loss after bariatric surgery, as it decreases leptin ’s action on satiety and energy expenditure. Leptin Fat mass Ratio (LFR) reflects LR through high fat-mass-adjusted plasmatic leptin, and was studied here as a potential predictive factor of weight loss 24 months after bariatric surgery.
