Abstract

p < 0.01) and systemic blood pressure ( p < 0.05). Weight loss with GBP was also associated with significant reductions in the apoprotein B-containing lipoproteins and the triglyceride and cholesterol composition of these particles. There was a trend ( p < 0.10) toward increased serum levels of high density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol following GBP, and significant ( p < 0.05) improvement in HDL subfraction distribution and composition. These findings demonstrate the effectiveness of GBP in inducing metabolic changes in the MO population, which may reduce the risk of coronary artery disease, diabetes, and hypertension.
