Description:
The biospecimens collected and retained in this study include: whole blood samples for serum and plasma separation, used for biochemical, hematological, and immunological analyses; subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissue biopsies obtained perioperatively for assessment of cellular iron metabolism and oxidative stress; stool samples for gut microbiota metagenomic sequencing; and urine samples for pregnancy testing prior to DEXA scans. Blood samples will be aliquoted and stored at -80ºC for future analyses. Tissue and stool samples will be processed according to standardized protocols to preserve DNA integrity and cellular components.
