NCT ID NCT03527420
Summary
This study aims to understand how obesity harms blood vessels and whether exercise or weight loss surgery can reverse this damage by affecting how genes are turned on or off. Researchers will study 80 obese adults approved for weight loss surgery, comparing them to non-obese people. They will measure changes in fat tissue and blood vessel function before and after a 12-week exercise program or surgery.
