Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Differences in tissue expression of genes involved in glucose and lipid metabolism in relation to metabolic fluxes between obese subtypes and between men and women, and the characteristics of the metabolic changes patients undergo during 1 year of extreme weight loss following bariatric surgery. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| - Differences in parasympathetic/sympathetic balance and energy expenditure - Differences in liver fat in relation to liver gene expression profiles and metabolic fluxes. - Differences in gut microbiota composition in relation to metabolic fluxes. - The effects of fructose in De Novo Lipogenesis and its relation to other metabolic fluxes. | — |
