Abstract
The prevalence of obesity is steadily growing in many parts of the world in order to reach epidemic proportions. Changes in signaling pathways state of hunger and satiety contribute to the increase in obesity and metabolic syndrome. Currently, the white adipose tissue, also is considered a secretory tissue by producing numerous adipokines involved in a chronic state of inflammation, which may interfere with the neuroendocrine regulation of energy balance difficulting the weight loss process. The bariatric surgery is recommended as the most effective tool in the treatment and control of morbid obesity. The study population will comprise of patients undergoing bariatric surgery - Roux-en-Y gastric bypass - Clinical Hospital of the Federal University of Paraná (UFPR) from March 2013 to April 2014. This is a prospective cohort study with follow up of 6 months. The aim of this study is to assess the effects of weight loss after bariatric surgery associated metabolic changes, the profile of adipokines pro/anti-inflammatory (adiponectin, IL-6, IL-10, CRP, PAI-1, TNF-alpha and resistin) and neuroendocrine regulation of energy balance (leptin, NPY , alpha-MSH, MCH and AgRP), as well as the quality of life in obese adults.
