Summary

This study looked at whether laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy—a common weight-loss surgery—changes blood levels of Phoenixin-14, a hormone linked to appetite control. Researchers measured Phoenixin-14 in 36 adults with severe obesity before and after surgery. The goal was to better understand how this hormone might relate to weight loss and insulin resistance after the procedure.
