Short-Term Impact of Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy on Serum Cartonectin and Vaspin Levels in Obese Subjects

ConclusionLSG-induced weight loss rapidly increases serum cartonectin level and decreases the serum vaspin level in morbidly obese subjects. The changes in cartonictin level seem to be influenced by the changes of waist circumference while the changes of HOMA-IR and LDL-C might be determinant factors of the changes in vaspin level.
