| Abstract: | BackgroundSleeve gastrectomy (SG) is a gaining ground operation amongst the ones applied for treatment of morbid obesity. Though SG is a food limiting operation, the removal of the gastric fundus where ghrelin is mainly produced may indicate a hormonal impact of the procedure. The purpose of this experiment is to study how SG affects the levels of ghrelin and leptin. |
