Study of fat cell changes in obesity
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how fat cells change in people with obesity. It involves a small tissue sample (biopsy) and may help us understand more about weight-related health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at how your body's internal clock affects fat tissue. It compares people with different BMIs to understand how circadian rhythms work in fat cells.
This study looks at tiny particles released from fat tissue in people with and without obesity. It aims to understand differences that might help explain obesity-related health problems.
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 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.
This study looks at how endurance exercise changes fat cells in the body. It may help understand how exercise benefits weight-related health.
This study looks at samples of body fat to understand what controls metabolism (how your body uses energy). You may be asked for a fat tissue sample during surgery or through a special biopsy scan, depending on your situation.
