Summary

This study looks at how the liver burns fat and produces sugar in people with NASH (a serious fatty liver disease) who are planning to have weight-loss surgery. Researchers will use special scans to measure these liver functions before and after surgery. The goal is to understand why bariatric surgery improves NASH, which could lead to better treatments. About 30 overweight or obese adults with NASH or prediabetes will take part.
