This study aims to understand how a person's weight and blood sugar levels affect gene activity in their body tissues. Researchers will collect tissue samples from 20,000 people undergoing abdominal surgery to see how genes are expressed differently in those with obesity, diabetes, or normal health. The goal is to learn more about the biological links between weight and blood sugar problems.
