| Summary: | Background and aims. Metabolic syndrome or insulin-resistance syndrome is an obesity related condition that
increases the risk of developing type 2 diabetes mellitus over time. In this prospective study, overweight and obese
individuals were assessed for insulin-resistance status by the HOMA indexes.
Material and methods. 48 bariatric patients associating metabolic syndrome were assessed before and 6 months
after the surgery procedure (gastric sleeve, gastric by-pass). The assessment included the following laboratory
blood tests: glucose, insulin, HOMA1 index and HOMA2 index before meal.
Results. There was a significant improvement of insulin resistance status in obese patients who underwent
bariatric surgery.
Conclusions. Insulin resistance status in obese individuals improves significantly after bariatric treatment. |
