Summary

This study will investigate potential correlations and relationships between obesity and organ-specific complications, including non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), non-alcoholic fatty pancreas disease (NAFPD) and fatty kidney. Furthermore, it will investigate how and if a lifestyle-induced weight-loss intervention decreases liver fat and improve NAFLD.

Furthermore, the study will investigate if extracellular vesicles (EVs) can be used as a biomarker for early detection of any of the above-mentioned by comparing obese individuals with NAFLD and metabolic syndrome with both normal weight controls and obese individuals without NAFLD and metabolic syndrome. Lastly, it will investigate if weight changes and the resulting improvement of NAFLD are accompanied by changes in liver-specific extracellular vesicle (EV) phenotypes.
