Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
With this study the investigators aim to investigate the effects of seasonal changes in outdoor temperature on genetic markers of BAT in human deep neck adipose tissue.
Project participants are patients who are admitted to Aarhus University Hospital for elective neck surgery. Operations are primarily due to suspected malignancy in the thyroid gland or hyperparathyroidism.No additional surgery is necessary to obtain the biopsies.
