Abstract
Bariatric surgery is the most effective intervention in morbidly obese individuals. It is followed by extensive weight loss and improved metabolic health status. We applied plasma proteome profiling, a recently developed mass spectrometric strategy, to quantify the levels of more than 500 circulating proteins in a longitudinal cohort of 47 individuals (total of 1,700 plasma proteins). The resulting global correlation map of the plasma proteome contained about 200,000 relationships and revealed functionally connected protein modules. This determined markers of inflammation, insulin sensitivity, and lipid metabolism.
