Circulating microRNAs and adipokines as markers of metabolic syndrome in adolescents with obesity

Circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) as valuable biomarkers yielded important insights into the pathogenesis of obesity.This study aimed to describe the circulating miRNA profile for adolescences and its association with the circulating levels leptin and adiponectin according to specific degree of obesity.RT-PCR and immunoassy analysis were used to study circulating miRNA profile, adipokines; adiponectin (A), leptin (L), and L/A ratio as well as other...
