Abstract
This prospective follow-up study was designed to evaluate the metabolic changes in patients undergoing gastric sleeve surgery. The results reported a substantial improvement at (p ≤ 0.05) in the level of T-AOC in the G3 (after 8 months) when compared with G1 (after 3 months) and G2 (after 6 months). A considerable diminution at (p ≤ 0.05) in the level of TOS was also detected in the third group versus G1and G2 groups. Moreover, the levels of appetite regulating hormones, including ghrelin and leptin showed a significant decrease at (p ≤ 0.05) in the levels of these hormones in G3 group when compared with the G1and G2 groups. These data imply a progressive, time- dependent improvement in redox balance and hormonal variation in patients over time following sleeve gastrectomy.
