Background: Sleeve gastrectomy (SG) has been used as a multipurpose surgical procedure for the treatment of obesity.
Objectives: The present study aimed to assess the effects of SG on the metabolic and inflammatory profile and renin-angiotensin system (RAS) expression in the white adipose tissue of male rats with obesity induced by a high-fat diet.
Methods: Male Wistar rats were treated with a standard diet or high-fat diet and submitted to SG or sham surgery.
