Scientists probe Gut's hidden role in weight loss success
NCT ID NCT03238794
Summary
This study aims to understand if the body's bile acid system responds differently to weight loss from gastric bypass surgery compared to weight loss from a low-calorie diet. Researchers at Mayo Clinic are observing 21 adults with severe obesity, measuring bile acids in stool and blood before and after they lose 7% of their body weight through either surgery or diet. The goal is to gather basic knowledge about how these two weight-loss methods work inside the body.
