Summary

This study aims to understand how obesity and diabetes influence gene activity in tissues that process sugar and fat. Researchers will collect biological samples from 20,000 adults undergoing abdominal surgery. The goal is to learn how body weight and blood sugar levels change gene expression, which could lead to better treatments in the future.
