Morbid obesity is associated with an enhanced risk of atherosclerosis and chronic inflammation. Bariatric surgery (BS) is a promising method used recently for weight loss; however, the number of studies that have examined the effect of BS on endothelial function is limited. This study aimed to investigate the association between endothelial function evaluated by flow-mediated dilation (FMD) and weight loss after BS.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Materials and Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This is a cross-sectional study conducted in Isfahan, Iran, and included 40 healthy obese individuals who underwent BS as an intervention group and 40 healthy obese patients who did not undergo BS as a control group in a 6-month follow-up duration period. FMD as an indicator of endothelial function was evaluated in these participants. FMD &lt;7.1% is considered abnormal.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      There was no significant difference between control and BS groups in terms of age and body mass index (BMI) at baseline. The mean \u00b1 standard deviation (SD) of FMD in the BS group pre- and post-intervention were 12.95 \u00b1 6.90 and 37.65 \u00b1 13.52 respectively and the mean \u00b1 SD of FMD in the control group were 15.88 \u00b1 6.85 and 15.85 \u00b1 5.83. The association between significant weight loss after BS and FMD was strongly significant (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt; 0.001).\n
