Introduction: Obesity increases the risk of various disorders including diabetes, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and cardiovascular disorders. MicroRNAs (miRNA) are single-stranded, non-coding oligonucleotides that regulate gene expression. Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1), a regulatory enzyme in metabolic homeostasis, is regulated by miRNAs. The aim of this study was to evaluate miR-141 in obesity and whether this miRNA can regulate SIRT1 expression.Materia...
