[The influence of liposuction on the blood leptin level].
The level of serum leptin was studied in 20 patients before and after liposuction carried out for excessive subcutaneous fatty tissue. The dynamics of indices depending on the volume of the ablated fatty tissue was analyzed. It was found that in most patients the level of blood serum leptin correlated with the body mass and fatty tissue index. A removal of limited volumes of fatty tissue results in the elevated level of blood serum leptin. The aspiration of great volume of fatty tissue is followed by the primary decrease of the leptin level which further reaches the initial level and even surpasses it.
