[The lipid profile in patients with obesity who have undergone vertical gastroplasty]
Abstract:
The effect of vertical banded gastroplasty (VBG) on the lipid profile in obese patients is considered. The antiatherogenic effect of VBG and of the following weight loss consists in significantly decreased plasma triglycerides, increased content of high-density lipoproteins and decreased atherogenic coefficient. Patients with hypercholesterolemia have significantly lower total plasma cholesterol by the period of the body mass stabilization. The effect of VBG is compared with that of other methods of correction of dyslipidemia. The possibility to improve this effect is also discussed.

Blood Studies for Cardiovascular System III: Serum Lipid Profile
Serum lipids are fats and fatty substances in the blood and are crucial for various bodily functions, including energy storage, cellular structure, and hormone production. Serum lipids consist of cholesterol, triglycerides, and phospholipids.
Cholesterol is a soft, fat-like substance found in all body cells. It is crucial for producing hormones, vitamin D, and substances that aid...
