Summary

This study aims to understand how a person's weight and blood sugar levels influence the activity of genes in tissues that process sugar and fat. Researchers will collect tissue samples from 20,000 adults undergoing abdominal surgery. The goal is to learn more about the link between genes, obesity, and diabetes, not to test a new treatment.
