Early Changes in Immune Cell Count, Metabolism, and Function Following Sleeve Gastrectomy: A Prospective Human Study.

Objective: To characterize longitudinal changes in blood biomarkers, leukocyte composition, and gene expression following laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG).

Background: LSG is an effective treatment for obesity, leading to sustainable weight loss and improvements in obesity-related comorbidities and inflammatory profiles. However, the effects of LSG on immune function and metabolism remain uncertain.

Early changes in immune cell metabolism and function are a hallmark of sleeve gastrectomy: a prospective human study.
