Summary
This study looked at 40 adults who had sleeve gastrectomy surgery for obesity. Researchers measured blood levels of fractalkine, a protein involved in inflammation, before and three months after surgery. The goal was to see how fractalkine levels change and whether those changes relate to how much weight people lose.
