Summary

This study looks at how inflammation in fat tissue is connected to fat buildup in the liver and insulin resistance in people with severe obesity. Researchers will measure liver stiffness and markers of inflammation in 60 adults who are having gastric bypass surgery. The goal is to better understand these relationships, not to test a new treatment.
