Effects of rimonabant on metabolic risk factors in overweight patients with dyslipidemia

Article Abstract:

The Rimonabant in Obesity-Lipids (RIO-Lipids) study examined the effects of rimonabant on metabolic risk factors, including adiponectin levels, in high-risk patients who are overweight or obese and have dyslipidemia. Selective cannabinoid-1 receptor (CB) blockade with rimonabant significantly reduces body weight and waist circumference and improves the profile of several metabolic risk factors in high-risk patients who are overweight or obese and have an atherogenic dyslipidemia.

Lifestyle, diabetes, and cardiovascular risk factors 10 years after bariatric surgery

Article Abstract:

Swedish Obese subjects (SOS) study is conducted to examine changes in cardiovascular risk factors over follow-up periods of 2 and 10 years in surgically treated subjects and contemporaneously matched, conventionally treated control subjects. The findings indicate that bariatric surgery is a viable option for the treatment of severe obesity, resulting in long-term weights loss and improved lifestyle.
