Article Synopsis
- Obesity leads to fat buildup and oxidative stress, often increasing lipid peroxidation and producing harmful substances like 4-HNE.
- This study assessed how weight loss from bariatric surgery affects lipid peroxidation and lipid profiles in obese individuals.
- Results showed significant reductions in lipid peroxidation markers and a notable decrease in BMI after six months post-surgery; however, more research is required to fully understand the connections between obesity, oxidative stress, and metabolic changes resulting from the surgery.
Background: The ongoing debate regarding the need for screening Cushing's syndrome (CS) in patients with obesity continues. The objectives of this study were to establish the prevalence of CS in the population with obesity and assess how metabolic health status influences cortisol levels following the 1 mg dexamethasone suppression test (DST).
Methods: This retrospective study included 1008 patients with obesity who underwent screening with the 1 mg DST for CS.
There has been an increase in the diagnosis of thyroid nodules in recent years. In addition to the well-known criteria, features that are likely to increase the risk of malignancy are in the research process. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the malignant potential of nodules that expand the thyroid capsule ultrasonographically.
