Obesity and diabetes: scientists hunt for hidden clues in body tissues
NCT ID NCT02861781
First seen May 09, 2026
Summary
This study collects blood and tissue samples from 270 severely obese patients during bariatric surgery to uncover new biological factors that lead to type 2 diabetes. Participants are grouped by their metabolic status: those with diabetes, insulin resistance, or normal insulin sensitivity. By comparing these groups, researchers hope to identify proteins, genes, and other molecules that play a role in the disease.
