Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Expected outcome 1: Plasma IL-6 levels obtained from patients anesthetized with sevoflurane versus patients anesthetized with propofol in blood samples collected immediately before anesthetic induction and just prior to awakening. According to similar studies, a change in effect size of 33% is expected after venous infusion of Propofol.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Expected outcome 2: The levels of inflammatory mediators obtained from blood samples collected immediately after anesthetic induction and immediately before awakening and of subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissue obtained immediately after performing gastroplasty of obese patients undergoing bariatric surgery under general anesthesia anesthetized with sevoflurane and propofol. Of Neutrophils: Metalloprotease 2, metalloprotease 9, CXCR2, IL-12, CCL3, CCL2, IL-1beta, TNF-alpha, NRF2. Cell death pathways bax, bcl2, caspase 3 and caspase 9. ;Expected outcome 3: The levels of inflammatory mediators obtained from blood samples collected immediately after anesthetic induction and immediately before awakening and of subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissue obtained immediately after performing gastroplasty of obese patients undergoing bariatric surgery under general anesthesia anesthetized with sevoflurane and propofol. Of Macrophages: Pro-inflammatories: IL-6, IL-1beta, TNF-alpha, iNOS, CD40, CD80, ICAM-1. Anti-inflammatories: CD163, CD206, arginase, IL-10, IL-1RA, TGF-beta1; NRF2. Cell death pathways: bax, bcl2, caspase 3 and caspase 9.
