| Collection Summary: | Eleven adolescents 12–20 years of age undergoing bariatric surgery at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital between 2006 and 2012 were offered enrollment in a prospective biospecimen repository protocol (Pediatric Obesity Tissue Repository [POTR]). Sample recruitment and other POTR features have been reported previously (Davidson et al. 2017). Intraoperatively, visceral adipose tissue (vAT) samples from the omentum, abdominal subcutaneous AT (sAT), and liver samples were obtained by the surgeon and processed immediately in an area adjacent to the operating room. All samples were snap-frozen in liquid nitrogen, then stored at −80°C. Plasma was collected pre-operatively after overnight fasting and stored at -80°C. Written informed consent was obtained from participants equal to or above 18 years old or from the parent or guardian if participants were less than 18 years old. The study was approved by the Institutional Review Board at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital. |
