5 Apr 2016
Abstract excerpt
Summary Background Circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) may act as biomarkers of metabolic disturbances. Objective The aim of this study was to identify serum miRNAs signature of early insulin resistance in obese preschoolers. Methods Twelve obese children, aged 2–6 years, six insulin resistant (IR) and six controls were selected being age‐matched, sex‐matched and body mass index‐matched. Profiling of 179 circulating...
