- This study investigates how weight loss affects hormonal changes related to gonadal dysfunction in obese patients over three years, comparing different weight loss methods like diet and bariatric surgeries.
- Researchers measured various hormonal parameters in 61 adults with a BMI over 30 and found that weight loss significantly influenced testosterone levels, with men experiencing increases and women showing decreases.
- The results highlighted that women undergoing certain bariatric surgeries had notably lower testosterone levels compared to those on a diet, regardless of age or menopausal status, emphasizing the hormonal effects of different weight loss strategies.

Fifty-five adults were studied during phase of weight loss (0-12 months) and during weight stability (12-36 months) post intervention. Measurements of HOMA-IR, fasting and postprandial PYY and GLP1, adiponectin, CRP, RBP4, FGF21 hormones and dual-Xray absorptiometry were performed throughout the study.
