After obtaining informed consent from the patients, fasting blood samples were taken 24 hours before the operation and then 4 weeks after the operation. After separating the serum samples, the changes in metabolic factors were measured using medical diagnostic kits It was analyzed by SPSS software version 22.
  • Results: In this study, statistical analysis was taken at the statistical level of 95%, and comparing the two groups of patients with healthy, cholesterol and LDL as bad lipids decreased significantly, HDL as good lipids increased significantly, and triglycerides No significant change range was observed.
