HVN Adipose Tissue Metadata Record - Analysis of innate like T cells in peripheral blood and adipose tissue of healthy men and women

This metadata record and it's attached files make statements about the kinds of data collected as part of this research, and set out policies for governance of that data, now and in the future.Description: The objective of this observational study is to provide data on the variability (frequency and function) of innate-like T cells between different adipose tissue deposits and peripheral blood. These data will inform whether peripheral blood can be used as a surrogate for adipose tissue in future studies, particularly intervention studies with the hypothesis that innate-like T cells can be targeted therapeutically to improve weight and metabolic outcomes.

本元数据记录及其附带的文件对本次研究收集的数据类型作出陈述，并规定了该数据现时及未来的治理政策。描述：本观察性研究的旨在提供关于不同脂肪组织库和周围血液中先天样T细胞变异性（频率及功能）的数据。这些数据将有助于判断周围血液是否可以未来研究中作为脂肪组织的替代品，特别是在假设先天样T细胞可以被靶向治疗以改善体重和代谢结果的情况下，干预性研究尤为适用。
