Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Identify circulating EV-derived protein and RNA signatures associated with T2D1 year

Circulating EVs will be isolated from plasma samples from patients with extreme obesity, with either T2D or normoglycemia. EV-derived proteins will be analyzed by shotgun proteomics using mass spectrometry and RNA by sequencing or microarray RNA technology to identify differential abundance between T2D and normoglycemia.

Identify changes in circulating EV cargo in patients whose T2D resolves after sleeve gastrectomy (SG), Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) or duodenal switch procedures.1 year

Plasma samples will be prospectively obtained from patients recruited in Aim 1 at baseline and within four weeks and at one-year after SG, RYGB or Duodenal Switch Procedures. EVs will be isolated, and protein and RNA profiled as described in Aim 1. Changes in EV cargo from baseline to one-year post-SG or RYGB and T2D remission will be assessed.
