Mammalian target of rapamycin complex 2 signaling in obese women changes after bariatric surgery

Obesity is a complex disease that results from inappropriate energy balance control. Genetic, environmental, and metabolic factors may contribute to nutritional changes and an energy imbalance [1]. Strategies to treat obesity including lifestyle modification, behavioral therapy, and pharmacotherapy are often unsatisfactory. In this context, surgical intervention is a more effective, evidence-based approach for significant and sustainable weight loss that is associated with reduced metabolic comorbidities [2].
