<p>Clearance (total, glucuronidation, sulphation, CYP2E1 oxidation and unchanged)<br /><br>and volume of distribution of acetaminophen in morbidly obese patients in<br /><br>comparison with normal weight patients.</p><br>
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>- Difference in clearance (total, glucuronidation, sulphation, CYP2E1<br /><br>oxidation) and volume of distribution of acetaminophen in morbidly obese<br /><br>patients at the time of bariatric surgery and 0.5 * 2 year after bariatric<br /><br>surgery.<br /><br>- Liver function tests (ASAT, ALAT, prothrombin time, gamma- GT, bilirubin,<br /><br>creatinine and albumin) in morbidly obese patients in comparison with normal<br /><br>weight patients.<br /><br><br /><br><br /><br>Other endpoints that will be measured:<br /><br>- Total body weight, length and fat (free) mass<br /><br>- Insulin resistance: homa IR (fasting insulin and glucose levels)<br /><br>- Lipid levels: free fatty acids, triglycerides, cholesterol<br /><br>- Inflammation markers: TNF-alfa, IL-6, leptin, adiponectin en CRP<br /><br>- Metabolomic profile</p><br>
