Fibrosis a New Pathological Actor in Adipose Tissue
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating biopsy for Obesity and 3 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 281 participants across 2 sites.
Detailed Summary
Adipose tissue (AT) has specific alterations in obesity in particular increased fibrosis amount compared to lean subjects. Fibrosis amount measured by immunohistochemistry on adipose biopsies appears to to predict weight loss response after a bariatric surgery. Non invasive tools to measure fibrosis needs to be validated. The investigators primary aim is to validate a new device able to measure adipose tissue stiffness. Thus the investigators plan to compare the stiffness results obtained with the device to the quantification of fibrosis using immuno-chemistry in massively obese patient's candidates to a bariatric surgery.
