Fat tissue study in type 2 diabetes surgery patients
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at fat tissue in people with type 2 diabetes who are having abdominal surgery. It aims to understand how fat differs in people with diabetes compared to those without, which may help improve future treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how body fat is stored and how that may relate to early improvements in diabetes and heart/liver health after bariatric surgery. It may help researchers understand why some people recover faster and which body changes matter.
This study looks at how bariatric (weight-loss) surgery affects bone health in adults with type 2 diabetes. It may help doctors understand who needs extra bone protection after surgery.
This study looks at a specific receptor (CB1) in abdominal fat tissue to understand how it affects fat-related chemicals in the body. Your participation would involve giving consent and having a tissue sample taken during planned internal (visceral) surgery.
This study collects small tissue samples during planned weight-loss surgery to better understand metabolism and how insulin works in people with and without type 2 diabetes. You may help researchers by allowing their team to take these samples while you are already having surgery.
This study looks at how your body’s fat under the skin and inside the abdomen may affect “insulin resistance,” a common problem linked with blood sugar control. It’s for people who are scheduled for bariatric (weight-loss) surgery, to learn more before and after surgery.
This research study examines fat tissue samples taken during abdominal surgery to understand how the body controls fat cell growth and function. Researchers are comparing samples from people with and without obesity and diabetes to learn more about these processes.
