    Endoscopic gastroplication is a minimally invasive bariatric procedure that reduces stomach volume without tissue removal.

  • 2

    Patients undergoing gastroplication experienced a median excess weight loss of 34.9% within the first year.

  • 3

    The study aimed to investigate the long-term effects of gastroplication on the upper gastrointestinal tract's transcriptome.

  • 4

    Biopsies from the stomach and duodenum were analyzed to understand the molecular mechanisms behind weight loss.

  • 5

    The research highlights the need for further studies on the metabolic effects of less invasive bariatric procedures.
