Innlandet Hospital Trust Researcher Highlights Research in Obesity (Reduction in Remnant Cholesterol in Obese Individuals After Bariatric Surgery with Gastric Bypass or Sleeve Gastrectomy).

Researchers at the Innlandet Hospital Trust conducted a study on the impact of bariatric surgery on remnant cholesterol (RC) levels in obese individuals with elevated glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c). The study compared the effects of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and sleeve gastrectomy (SG) on RC and HbA1c levels. Results showed a significant reduction in RC values after both surgeries, leading to lower cardiovascular disease risk. This research highlights the potential benefits of bariatric surgery in reducing RC levels in obese individuals. [Extracted from the article]
