In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Results are inconsistent and further studies are needed to better understand the impact of bariatric surgery on the bone-BMA relationship depending on the type of bariatric surgery: RYGB vs. SG. Future studies are also needed to define the molecular mediators of bone loss and BMA changes. Several molecular mediators have been considered including gut hormones, adipokines, gonadal hormones and more recently G-CSF. However, the evidence to support any of these alone or in combination as primary mechanisms of bone loss is scant. The study will be to explore potential changes in BMA after bariatric surgery and search for possible associated factors. Specifically, we want to investigate if such changes in BMFF differed in participants among different surgical types (RYGB vs. SG) and diabetic status. Secondly, we want to explore factors associated with BMFF changes including metabolic homeost
