Figure 3.

Changes in serum levels of adiponectin (A), resistin (B), leptin (C) and ghrelin (D) from baseline to 12 months after undergoing sleeve gastrectomy. Blue bars indicate values at baseline (preoperatively). Dark blue dots indicate values measured at baseline (pre-operatively) and dark red dots indicate values measured during follow-up (post-operatively). Dashed lines between dots indicate missing data for a given subject. Data for each timepoint are summarized as means and 95% confidence intervals. Significant differences adjusted for multiple testing were marked with the following thresholds: *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001, ****P < 0.0001. T0, baseline; T3, 3 months post-op; T6, 6 months; T9, 9 months; T12, 12 months.
