After age and gender adjustment, surgery versus comparator-subjects-with-obesity had lower BMI (34.4 ± 1.0 vs 43.8 ± 0.9kg/m2; p<0.0001), HbA1c (6.2 ± 0.3 vs 7.7 ± 0.2%; p<0.0001), insulin resistance (HOMA-IR, 2.0 ± 1.5 vs 10.8 ± 1.4; p<0.0001) fat mass (45.6 ± 2.2 vs 60.0 ± 2.0; p<0.0001), HDL-C (55.4 ± 2.6 vs 42.6 ± 2.3mg/dL; p<0.0001), triglycerides (130 ± 14 vs 187 ± 12mg/dL; p<0.0001) and higher adiponectin (25.9 ± 2.3 vs 15.7 ± 2.0μg/ml; p<0.001); Adipsin, ANGPTL3, ANGPTL4, ANGPTL6, FGF19, FGF21, FGF23 and myonectin did not differ. This evidence concerns the gene ERFE and obesity disorder.
