Rapid Perioperative Changes in the Quantitative Properties of Plasma Lipases and Lipoproteins in Morbidly Obese Surgical Patients

Background: The impact of bariatric surgery on abnormalities in blood lipids and lipoprotein metabolism during the perioperative period has been poorly studied.Objective: We studied the impact of bariatric surgery on the composition and quantitative properties of lipoproteins and the activity of lipases in the plasma of perioperative morbidly obese patients.Methods: We examined the plasma lipoproteins and lipolytic activities of 34 morbidly...
