NCT ID NCT07567287

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at how certain natural chemicals (endocannabinoids) influence the development of fat cells from stem cells found in belly fat. Researchers will take small fat samples from 30 people undergoing abdominal surgery, including healthy controls, people with obesity, and those with both obesity and type 2 diabetes. The goal is to understand these processes better, which could lead to new treatments for obesity and diabetes in the future.
