Improved Adipose Tissue Storage of Dietary Fatty Acids as a New Mechanism for the Rapid Remission of Hepatic and Cardiac Metabolic Dysfunction After Bariatric Surgery

Name
2022-4624
Description
The present protocol aims to understand and establish whether there is a causal link between adipose tissue metabolic remodeling and Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) remission after bariatric surgery. All participants will have a bariatric surgery, divided in 2 groups: with or without T2D.

measured after liquid meal at Baseline (A0 +A1), at Day 12 (B0) and at Week 52 (C0)
Change in liver non-esterified fatty acid (NEFA) uptake, oxidation, esterification and secretion into very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL).
measured before and after liquid meal at Baseline (A0), at Day 12 (B0) and at Week 52 (C0)
