Turkey: According to a recent surgery published in "The Surgeon", a team of researchers in their study have mentioned that a relationship exists between obesity and NLRP3 inflammasome. Considering the inflammatory parameters, which are higher in the preoperative period or before weight loss surgery, a study has found a decrease in inflammatory parameters after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass.
