Scientists probe fat cells to unlock Surgery's secret health boost

NCT ID NCT04242524

Summary

This study aimed to understand why weight loss surgery improves the body's ability to manage blood sugar so quickly, often before significant weight loss occurs. Researchers studied 28 women, comparing fat cells from those with and without obesity before and after surgery. They looked at how these cells respond to insulin and how their daily rhythms change, seeking to explain the surgery's rapid metabolic benefits.
