“…Clear reductions in CRP are more
apparent three to four months post-operatively, when presumably
surgery-related inflammation has subsided (52, 202, 488), even though this is not seen in
all studies (310, 483). Six to 12 months post-surgery, CRP, IL-6,
PAI-1, and MCP-1 consistently are reduced relative to pre-surgery levels
(6, 28, 108,
157, 162, 181,
199–202, 254,
310, 323, 327,
368, 468, 483,
489). There may also be changes
in serum levels of the insulin sensitizing hormone adiponectin following
bariatric surgery.…”
