Circulating microRNAs in obese and lean heart failure patients: A case–control study with computational target prediction analysis
26 Jul 2015
Abstract excerpt
AIMS: MicroRNAs (miRs) regulate processes involved in both cardiac remodeling and obesity. We investigated if the expression of selected miRs in patients with heart failure (HF) is influenced by the presence of obesity. METHODS: In this case-control study, we compared plasma levels of miR-21, -130b, -221, -423-5p, and the -221/-130b ratio in 57 age- and gender-matched subjects: 40 HF patients (20 obese HF and 20...
