Hepatic Vagotomy: A Lipid Makeover for Obesity

In the battle against the expanding empire of obesity, researchers delved into hepatic vagotomy’s (HV) potential to rewrite the cholesterol story. Following laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy, the HV squad at the six-month checkpoint showcased a significant victory with lower total cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein (TC/HDL) ratios. While not all hypotheses stood strong, the study unveiled a promising narrative of improved lipid profiles in the HV realm. Ready for a lipid makeover? HV might hold the key in the fight against obesity’s metabolic consequences.
