NCT ID NCT07464223
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study follows 50 obese patients who are having weight-loss surgery (laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy). Researchers use MRI scans and blood tests before surgery and at 1, 3, and 6 months after to measure changes in pancreatic fat and insulin function. The goal is to see if losing weight helps the pancreas work better and improves type 2 diabetes.
