Organic Pollutant Build-Up in Body Fat and Stomach Tissue Linked to Obesity Levels
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
exposure to organic pollutant: Small samples of subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissue will be analyzed for the presence and concentration of specific organic pollutants using validated analytical chemistry methods, such as gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) or liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS).
Study summary
This study looks at whether certain environmental chemicals, called organic pollutants, build up in the body fat and stomach tissues of people with obesity who are having weight-loss (bariatric) surgery. These pollutants can come from things like plastics, pesticides, or industrial waste, and may affect health in different ways.
The investigators will measure the amount of these pollutants in tissue samples taken during surgery and see if the levels are different in people with mild, moderate, or severe obesity. By understanding these patterns, the investigators hope to learn more about how environmental factors may influence obesity and related health problems. The findings could help guide future prevention and treatment strategies for patients.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Obesity Severity — At baseline (within 1 month before bariatric surgery).
The investigators will assess obesity severity based on body mass index (BMI), calculated as body weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared (kg/m²). BMI will be obtained using standardized measurements of height and weight during the preoperative evaluation. Obesity severity will be categorized according to World Health Organization (WHO) criteria (Class I: 30.0-34.9 kg/m², Class II: 35.0-39.9 kg/m², Class III: ≥ 40.0 kg/m²).
