Large-Volume Liposuction Improves Cardiovascular Risk Factors.(Brief Article)
2001 SEP 6 - (NewsRx Network) -- by N.R. Saltmarsh, staff medical writer - Women undergo large-volume liposuction presumably to improve their appearance only, but they may get health benefits in the bargain, researchers at Georgetown University say.
Working in collaboration with the National Institutes of Health, S.Y. Giese and colleagues found that fat mass, fasting plasma insulin, and systolic blood pressure all improved significantly in women who got large-volume, ultrasound-assisted liposuction.
Giese and associates measured fasting plasma insulin, triglycerides, cholesterol, body composition, resting energy expenditure, and blood pressure before and after the procedure in 14 women with body mass indexes (BMI) of[greater than]27 kg/[m.sup.2].
Total weight loss among subjects was 6.5 kg, reported Giese and coworkers, and BMI decreased from 28.8 [+ or -] 2.3 to 26.8 [+ or -] 1.5 kg/[m.sup.2]. Decreases in body fat mass, from 35.7 [+ or -] 6.3 to 30.1 [+ or -] 6.5 kg, accounted for most of this change.
Fasting plasma insulin levels (14.9 [+ or -] 6.5 mIU/ml before liposuction versus 7.2 [+ or -] 3.2 mIU/ml four months after liposuction) and systolic blood pressure (132.1 [+ or -] 7.2 mmHg vs. 120.5 [+ or -] 7.8 mmHg) were both significantly lower in the subjects, but total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, plasma triglycerides, and resting energy expenditure values were unchanged, reported Giese and ...
