Assessment of Lipid Balance Parameters after Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy in 1-Year Observation.

: Currently, the increase in the percentage of obese people observed along with the development of civilization, reaching the level of a global pandemic, has forced a search for methods of effective and permanent obesity treatment. Obesity is a multifactorial disease; it coexists with many disease entities and requires multidisciplinary treatment. Obesity leads to metabolic changes in the form of metabolic syndromes, which include, among others, atherogenic dyslipidemia.

Quercetin relaxes human gastric smooth muscles directly through ATP-sensitive potassium channels and not depending on the nitric oxide pathway.

Background: Quercetin has recently become a remarkably popular subject of research due to its broad beneficial pharmacological properties. The goal of our study was to observe its effects on contractility of human gastric smooth muscles in reference to the NO pathway and direct influence of potassium channels.

Methods: Tissues were obtained from patients undergoing sleeve gastrectomy due to morbid obesity (n = 10 aged 24-56; BMI 47.

Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy: a study of efficiency in treatment of metabolic syndrome components, comorbidities and influence on certain biochemical markers.

Introduction: The worldwide outbreak of morbid obesity forced contemporary medicine to adopt a multidisciplinary approach, which led to the description of metabolic syndrome (MS): a disease with self-aggravating components and one of the most important causes of morbidity and mortality. The need for therapeutic methods provoked development of metabolic surgery, which nowadays give possibilities for safe and effective treatment of all MS aspects simultaneously and improves many obesity-related comorbidities.

Aim: To assess the laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) procedure's efficiency in resolving MS components, treating comorbidities and to analyze the influence on certain biochemical markers in 1-year follow-up.

Different surgical approaches in laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy and their influence on metabolic syndrome: A retrospective study.

Obesity is a growing health, social, and economic issue and became an epidemic, according to recent report of World Health Organization.The only method with scientifically proved efficiency of body mass loss is a surgical treatment. Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is recently a leading method in metabolic surgery.
