SERPINE-1 Gene Methylation and Protein as Molecular Predictors of Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy Outcome

ConclusionBaseline SERPINE-1 gene methylation might be a predictor of weight loss after LSG. Meanwhile, postoperative SERPINE-1 protein could be a predictor to weight loss maintenance after LSG. Lastly, postoperative SERPINE-1 gene methylation might serve as an index to postoperative changes in obesity-related comorbidities.
