Brief Summary

Objective: to assess the effect of gastric bypass on HDL-cholesterol concentration and its Apolipoprotein A4 content at 1 year following bariatric surgery in comparison with a hypocaloric diet. Secondary aim was to measure total cholesterol and triglycerides levels as well as insulin sensitivity after interventions. Summary Background Data: Very few prospective uncontrolled studies have investigated the effects of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) on cardiovascular risk factors. No controlled studies had as primary goal the changes in HDL-cholesterol after gastric bypass. Methods: Forty subjects with a BMI\>40 or ≥35 kg/m2 in the presence of diabetes were enrolled. Twenty of them were operated of RYGB while 20 received lifestyle modification suggestions and medical therapy for obesity complications (diabetes, hypertension and hyperlipidemia).
