| Research Abstract |
In obese patients, the number of GPCs (ghrelin positive cells) was greater than in non-obese patients。 This study showed that the number of GPCs could be a prognostic factor for the surgical results of LSG and represent an individual ghrelin profiles more accurately than circulating ghrelin levels。
