Scientists decode Fat's secret messages to the heart
NCT ID NCT06408961
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at tiny particles called extracellular vesicles (EVs) released from fat cells. Researchers want to understand how these particles carry signals that may affect heart and liver health in people with obesity. About 100 adults having weight-loss surgery will provide fat and blood samples. The goal is to learn more about the links between obesity, diabetes, and heart disease, not to test a new treatment.
