Changes in Trimethylamine-N-oxide Levels in Obese Patients following Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass or Sleeve Gastrectomy in a Korean Obesity Surgical Treatment Study (KOBESS)
Trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO), a gut microbe-dependent metabolite, has been implicated as a novel risk factor for cardiovascular events related to obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The aim of the study was to test the hypothesis if TMAO is associated with the reduction of cardiovascular d...

Bariatric surgery is indicated for Korean patients with a body mass index (BMI) ≥ 35 kg/m<sup>2</sup> or for Korean patients with a BMI ≥ 30 kg/m<sup>2</sup> who have comorbidities.
