Assessment of Carotid Artery Distensibility and Elasticity After Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy: a Prospective Study
(2020)Purpose Although it is well known that obesity increases the risk of atherosclerosis in carotid arteries, it is not clear whether this risk changes after obesity surgery. The aim of this study was to investigate whether ... -
beta-3AR W64R Polymorphism and 30-Minute Post-Challenge Plasma Glucose Levels in Obese Children
(2015)Objective: In this study, we aimed to investigate the association of W64R polymorphism of the beta 3-adrenergic receptor gene (beta-3AR) with childhood obesity and related pathologies. Methods: beta-3AR gene W64R ... -
Beta-Cell Golgi Stress Response to Lipotoxicity and Glucolipotoxicity: A Preliminary Study of a Potential Mechanism of Beta-Cell Failure in Posttransplant Diabetes and Intraportal Islet Transplant
(2022)Objectives: Lipotoxicity and glucolipotoxicity are among the most important triggers of beta-cell failure in patients with type 2 and posttransplant diabetes. Because the Golgi apparatus is a vital organelle in secretory ... -
Body Mass Index below Obesity Threshold Implies Similar Cardiovascular Risk among Various Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Phenotypes
(2016)Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the cardiometabolic risk factors in different polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) phenotypes. Subjects and Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed between 2010 and ... -
Change of respiratory functions, the STOP-Bang questionnaire, and Epworth sleepiness scale after bariatric surgery
(2020)INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVE: Obesity is a highly morbid and fatal syndrome that reduces respiratory function. Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is a common sleep disorder in morbid obesity. Herein, we aimed to determine ... -

Impact of Obesity on the Metabolic Control of Type 2 Diabetes: Results of the Turkish Nationwide Survey of Glycemic and Other Metabolic Parameters of Patients with Diabetes Mellitus (TEMD Obesity Study)
(2019)Background: Obesity is the main obstacle for metabolic control in patients with type 2 diabetes. Turkey has the highest prevalence of obesity and type 2 diabetes in Europe. The effect of obesity on the metabolic control, ... -
Is obesity a problem that threatens oral health in adults?
(2021)Purpose: Obesity is one of the increasingly negative factors affecting oral and dental health directly or indirectly in many developed and developing countries. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between ... -
Low serum 25(OH)D levels are associated to higher BMI and metabolic syndrome parameters in adult subjects in Turkey
(2015)Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the association of 25(OH) D levels with biochemical, anthropometric, and metabolic data obtained from normal and obese people. Methods: This study was carried out on ... -
Obese patients require higher, but not high pneumatic tourniquet inflation pressures using a novel technique during total knee arthroplasty
(2018)Objectives: This study aims to investigate the effect of obesity on pneumatic tourniquet inflation pressures determined with a novel formula during total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Patients and methods: Data of 208 patients ... -
