Reduction of Premature Aging Markers After Gastric Bypass Surgery in Morbidly Obese Patients

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Obesity is considered to be a major comorbidity. Obese patients suffer from an increased proinflammatory state associated with a premature aging phenotype including increased secretion of senescence-associated secretory proteins (SASP) and reduced telomere length. Micro-ribonucleic acids (miRNAs) are non-coding RNA molecules that could modify the post-transcriptional process. Several studies have...
