Blood test may predict who loses dangerous belly fat after surgery
NCT ID NCT07564986
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looked at 80 people with severe obesity who had sleeve gastrectomy surgery. Researchers measured a blood protein called resistin before surgery to see if it could predict how much harmful internal belly fat patients would lose. The goal is to find a simple blood test that helps doctors know who will get the biggest health benefits from the procedure.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If resistin levels reliably predict internal fat loss, doctors might better identify which patients will benefit most from weight-loss surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed observational study, not a treatment trial. The findings may not apply to all patients or lead to any change in clinical practice.
