Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy differentially affects serum concentrations of FGF‐19 and FGF‐21 in morbidly obese subjects

Abstract

Our results indicate that increased FGF-19 and decreased ghrelin concentrations could have partially contributed to the improvement of systemic inflammation and some metabolic parameters after LSG, while changes of FGF-21 are rather secondary because of weight loss.
