Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| - Mean reduction in fat droplet size between the pre- and post-MedD biopsies of the rectal submucosa in participating patients. - Mean reduction in number of crown-like structures the pre- and post-MedD biopsies of the rectal submucosa in participating patients. - Mean change in the M1:M2 macrophage ratio between the pre- and post-MedD biopsies of the rectal submucosa in participating patients. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| - Relationship between baseline rectal submucosa WAT characteristics (number of CLS, M1:M2 macrophage ratio, and fat droplet size) and body composition measures in participating patients. - Relationship between the pre- and post-MedD changes in rectal submucosa WAT characteristics (number of CLS, M1:M2 macrophage ratio, and fat droplet size) and body composition measures in participating patients. - Relationship between baseline rectal submucosa WAT characteristics (number of CLS, M1:M2 macrophage ratio, and fat droplet size) and homeostatic model assessment insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) measures in participating patients. - Relationship between the pre- and post-MedD changes in rectal submucosa WAT characteristics (number of CLS, M1:M2 macrophage ratio, and fat droplet size) and HOMA-IR measures in participating patients. - Relationship between baseline rectal submucosa WAT characteristics (number of CLS, M1:M2 macrophage ratio, and fat droplet size) and liver fat (as a measure of ectopic fat stores) in participating patients. - Relationship between the pre- and post-MedD changes in rectal submucosa WAT characteristics (number of CLS, M1:M2 macrophage ratio, and fat droplet size) and liver fat (as a measure of ectopic fat stores) in participating patients. | — |
