Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Our primary endpoint is the amount of bacterial DNA in pancreatic beta cell tissue. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| As a secondary endpoint, we will assess fecal and oral microbiota composition and relate this to pancreatic microbiota composition, concentration of bacterial metabolites in pancreatic tissue and markers of inflammation expressed in pancreatic tissue and plasma. Finally, we will study beta cell function ex vivo by culturing beta cells obtained during surgery. | — |
