The Expression of the miR-25/93/106b Family of Micro-RNAs in the Adipose Tissue of Women With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
22 Sept 2014
Abstract excerpt
CONTEXT: In adipose tissue (AT) micro-RNA-93 (miR-93) is significantly overexpressed in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) women and non-PCOS women with insulin resistance (IR). Overexpressed miR-93 directly inhibits glucose transporter isoform 4, impairing both glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity. The mechanisms behind increased miR-93 expression are unclear. OBJECTIVE: Our objective was to determine...
