Relationship Between Weight Loss, Changes in Serum hs-CRP Levels and apo A-1 Lipoprotein, and High-Density Lipoprotein-Cholesterol Ratios as Predictors for Improved Cardiovascular Risk Factors After Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy.

Weight loss following LSG significantly reduced inflammation and improved atheroprotection. Improved inflammation markers were associated with favorable changes in cardiovascular risk factors, including HDL-C ratios particularly TC/HDL-C, LDL-C/HDL-C, and apo A-1.
