The Influence of Bariatric Surgery on Matrix Metalloproteinase Plasma Levels in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Background: Bariatric surgery is a safe and effective procedure for treating obesity and metabolic conditions such as type 2 <i>diabetes mellitus</i> (T2DM). Remodeling of the extracellular matrix (ECM) supports adipose tissue expansion and its metabolic activity, where matrix metallopro...

description Background: Bariatric surgery is a safe and effective procedure for treating obesity and metabolic conditions such as type 2 <i>diabetes mellitus</i> (T2DM). Remodeling of the extracellular matrix (ECM) supports adipose tissue expansion and its metabolic activity, where matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) play a key role in ECM regulation. The MMPs, particularly MMP-2 and MMP-9, are elevated in patients with morbid obesity, metabolic syndrome, and T2DM. Objectives: To evaluate the effect of weight loss in bariatric surgery patients using oxidative stress markers and to compare MMP levels in patients undergoing bariatric surgery. Methods: This was a prospective, controlled study including 45 morbidly obese patients with T2DM (BMI > 35 kg/m<sup>2</sup>) who underwent RYGB (n = 24) or VG (n = 21). Weight loss was assessed through anthropometric measurements (weight, height, BMI). MMP-2 and MMP-9 levels were measured preoperatively and at 3 and 12 months postoperatively. Results: Significant and sustained weight loss was observed after surgery in both groups, with reductions in BMI. MMP-2 and MMP-9 levels decreased significantly after one year of follow-up. Conclusions: Bariatric surgery is an effective long-term intervention for weight loss and associated comorbidities, including T2DM. MMP-2 and MMP-9 proved to be effective markers of extracellular matrix remodeling, with significant reductions following surgery.
