ABSTRACT
Reduction of adipose tissue releases these compounds into the systemic circulation, which can be detrimental to neurological function. Continued exposure to toxin release throughout bariatric surgery weight loss could play a role in the pathogenesis of autoimmune disorders like systemic lupus erythematosus, dementia, Alzheimer’s, and Parkinson’s disease. Reduction of the toxic load can also lead to chronic fatigue, thyroiditis, rheumatoid arthritis, other connective tissue disorders, and multiple sclerosis [1-3].
