Early Regression of Carotid Intima-Media Thickness after Bariatric Surgery and Its Relation to Serum Leptin Reduction

Abstract: A remarkable C-IMT regression occurred as early as 1-2 months after BS in obese patients either with or without type 2 diabetes, which was associated to the early reduction in leptin, (at least partially) independent of weight loss. Whether this is a causative or correlative association needs further investigation.

“…We found that the reductions in LAR were driven primarily by an increase in adiponectin rather than a reduction in leptin, and these changes were proportional to the reduction in weight after surgery, consistent with the Unamuno study. The changes we observed in leptin and adiponectin concentrations were less than those described after bypass bariatric surgery 3,6,7 and are more consistent with those previously described after banding 8 .…”

“…We have shown that in a predominantly white cohort of adults with severe obesity who underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy, there was a substantial reduction in the LAR after 12 months, which may indicate an increase in insulin sensitivity. While several studies have measured leptin or adiponectin separately in patients after bariatric surgery 3,[6][7][8]15 , we are aware of only one other study by Unamuno et al that has considered them together as a ratio and as an indicator of adipocyte dysfunction 16 . Ours is the first study to consider these adipokines as a ratio in patients undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy.…”

“…The CIMT is positively correlated with serum leptin levels in patients with psoriasis (56) and premenopausal systemic lupus erythematosus patients (57). Lambert et al indicated that an obvious C-IMT regression is associated with a reduction in leptin levels, independent of the weight loss (58). However, the correlation between leptin and IMT in OSA patients is still unclear and requires further investigation.…”
