NCT ID NCT04844684

First seen Jan 03, 2026 · Last updated May 23, 2026 · Updated 25 times

Summary

This study looks at how bariatric surgery affects two key body chemicals—cortisol and bile acids—in obese women. Researchers will measure these substances before and after surgery in 30 non-menopausal women with a BMI between 35 and 50. The goal is to understand why the surgery leads to lasting weight loss and better health, not to test a new treatment.
