Adipose tissue, in addition to serving as energy storage, can store lipophilic substances, some of which may pose a health risk if massively mobilized during rapid weight loss. This study aimed biomonitor inorganic elements obese patients undergoing bariatric surgery and analyze the role sociodemographic factors. ICP-MS was employed quantify 55 elements, including identified from ATSDR’s Substance Priority List rare-earth serum samples 58 before after surgery. A total 39 out were detected, either or surgery, at least one patient. Serum concentrations gold, copper, mercury, platinum, selenium significantly decreased iron zinc lower Age, sex, diabetes status, arterial hypertension, family history obesity demographic factors associated with concentration elements. Correlation analyses showed significant associations between lipid body mass index. Our findings indicate complex interplay fat provide relevant information regarding biomonitoring these chemical specific understudied population.
