Effects of Weight Loss on Endothelium and Vascular Homeostasis: Impact on Cardiovascular Risk by Margherita Tiezzi, Francesco Vieceli Dalla Sega, Paolo Gentileschi, Michela Campanelli, Domenico Benavoli, Elena Tremoli

“…Substantial weight loss resulting from both diet and bariatric surgery decreases circulating biomarkers and improves endothelial function. Extensive clinical trials and meta-analyses show that bariatric surgery (particularly gastric bypass) has more substantial and long-lasting effect on weight loss and glucose regulation, as well as on distinct circulating biomarkers of cardiovascular risk. …”
