What this study is about

Research the genetic and biomechanical markers of human adipose tissue on patients with morbid obesity. Additional tissue/fluid collection is also gathered during the time of surgery.

A promising-looking record is not the same as confirmed eligibility. The study team must review the full criteria and current recruitment status.

Primary outcomes

Tensile Strength of White Adipose TissueJuly 2012

During the research tissue samples were compared between healthy obese patients (no diabetes, controlled HTN, no dyslipidemia) with tissue samples collected on non-healthy obese patients (type II diabetes) and using fat collected from mice as a control.
