In morbidly obese subjects, gastric bypass surgery lowers energy intake, reduces inflammatory markers and improves insulin sensitivity. Despite a marked reduction in body weight, only a small effect on CRP levels was seen in insulin-resistant patients, indicating that flexibility of circulating CRP levels is primarily dependent upon insulin sensitivity rather than energy supply.
