First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at liver tissue from 45 adults with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) to identify which fats and proteins are present and how they change as the disease gets worse. Participants are 18–65 years old and scheduled for abdominal or bariatric surgery. The goal is to better understand what drives NAFLD, not to test a treatment.
