Vitamin D and the Metabolic Phenotype in Weight Loss After Bariatric Surgery: A Longitudinal Study
ConclusionThis study suggests that VD adequacy and the presence of a healthy phenotype appear to have a positive impact on the reduction of visceral fat in the context of pre- and postoperative obesity. In addition, there was a greater weight reduction in those with VD inadequacy and in MUHO, which suggests that the volumetric dilution effect of VD and catabolism after bariatric surgery is more pronounced in this specific metabolic phenotype.Graphical Abstract (Source: Obesity Surgery)

Assessing the Impact of Bariatric Surgery on Retinol-Binding Protein 4 (RBP4): A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
This study aimed to analyze changes in retinol-binding protein 4 (RBP4) levels before and after bariatric surgery in obese individuals. Bariatric surgery is a safe and effective treatment for morbid obesity, impacting molecules like RBP4. A systematic review and meta-analysis of 12 relevant studies were conducted, utilizing databases such as PubMed, Cochrane Central, Web of Science, and Scopus. Significant differences in RBP4, glucose, and BMI levels pre- and post-surgery were observed. Meta-regression analysis explored associations with age, pre-BMI, triglycerides, glucose, and post-insulin levels. Findings suggest RBP4 m...

Asia ’s Growing Contribution to Obesity Surgery Research: A 40-year Bibliometric Analysis
This study focuses on Asia, especially China, analyzing 3904 publications (1221 from China) from 1980 to 2022. Research output accelerated until the COVID-19 pandemic, driven by economic growth and rising o besity rates. China led contributions from 2010, but Western Asia led when adjusted for population. An intra-regional research collaboration network emerged, driven by geographic proximity and similar economic environments. Keyword analysis highlighted emerging topics like “laparoscopic sleeve gas trectomy” and “non-alcoholic fatty liver disease,” indicating a shift in focus. The study recommends disseminating r...
