Lipoabdominoplasty and the leptin hormone.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Obesity contributes to a chronic disease with lethal complications. Leptin as an adiponectin interacts with fat metabolism. Surgical extra fat resection is an interventional approach to control obesity. We aimed to evaluate how body contouring surgery would influence on leptin plasma level.

Methods

Females candidate for body contouring surgery were allocated in to two groups included abdominal wall liposuction alone and in combination with abdominoplasty from 2018 to 2020. Demographic data was registered. Serum plasma level of leptin with the ELISA method was measured on the day before the operation and also after 3, 6, and 12 months after surgery with 8 h fasting prior to blood sampling. Finally the amounts of resected fat, type of surgical approach, and plasma l
