RESUMEN
Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM), a significant complication of diabetes mellitus, is marked by myocardial structural and functional alterations due to chronic hyperglycemia. Despite its clinical significance, optimal treatment strategies are still elusive. Bariatric surgery via sleeve gastrectomy and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass have shown promise in treating morbid obesity and associated metabolic disorders including improvements in diabetes mellitus and DCM. The present study reviews the molecular mechanisms by which bariatric surgery improves DCM, offering insights into potential therapeutic targets. Future research should further investigate the mechanistic links between bariatric surgery and DCM, to evaluate the benefits and limitations of these surgical interventions for DCM treatment. The present study aims to provide a foundation for more effective DCM therapies, contributing to the advancement of patient care.

Lipid droplets (LDs), which are active organelles, derive from the monolayer membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum and encapsulate neutral lipids internally. LD-associated proteins like RAB, those in the PLIN family, and those in the CIDE family participate in LD formation and development, and they are active players in various diseases, organelles, and metabolic processes (i.e., obesity, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and autophagy). Our synthesis on existing research includes insights from the formation of LDs to their mechanisms of action, to provide an overview needed for advancing research into metabolic diseases and lipid metabolism.
