Changes in inflammatory biomarkers following bariatric surgery. Left: Surgical patients are selected based on obesity as indicated by the large circle. Surgical patients with T2D are also inflamed as indicated by the large flame. Following bariatric surgery, the majority of patients lose weight, as indicated by the decreased size of the circle. Right: multiple outcomes for the post-surgical change in inflammation have been reported. Cytokine changes are controversial and study-dependent, as indicated by the size of the flame (top three outcomes). Acute phase proteins decrease and are often correlated with weight loss or metabolic health as assess by HOMA-IR or glycemic control.
