description | Weight loss after bariatric surgery in obesity improves vascular function and metabolic/inflammatory profiles and reduces cardiovascular mortality but there are limited data on the effects of weight regain on vascular health. We compared the metabolic/inflammatory profiles, oxidative status, and vascular function of post-bariatric patients with a high ratio of weight regain (RWR) vs. non-surgical controls. Thirty-two post-bariatric patients [Roux-en-Y gastric bypass; aged = 44 ± 8 years, BMI = 40.1 ± 7.7 kg/m<sup>2</sup>, and RWR = 58.7 ± 24.3%] and thirty controls that were BMI-, age-, and gender-matched entered the study. We collected clinical data, metabolic/inflammatory/oxidative stress circulating biomarkers, and endothelial/microvascular reactivity through Venous occlusion plethysmography and Laser speckle contrast imaging. The bariatric group exhibited lower neck circumference, fasting glucose, and triglycerides than the non-surgical group, while HDL-cholesterol was higher in the bariatric group (<i>p</i> < 0.001). There was no significant difference between groups for endothelial/microvascular reactivities (<i>p</i> ≥ 0.06). Resistin, leptin, endothelin-1, soluble forms of intercellular cell adhesion molecule-1 and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1, tumor necrosis factor-α, and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances did not differ significantly between groups (<i>p</i> ≥ 0.09) either. The adiponectin level was higher in the bariatric compared to the non-surgical group, while interleukin-6 was lower in the bariatric group (<i>p</i> < 0.001). Despite the fact that endothelial/microvascular functions were not significantly different between groups, post-bariatric patients present partially preserved metabolic/inflammatory benefits even with high RWR. |
