miR-107: a Toll-like receptor-regulated miRNA dysregulated in obesity and type II diabetes

TL;DR: A possible link between the molecular phenomena of obesity and inflammation and the role that miR‐107 may contribute to these processes is discussed, including an attempt to limit insulin resistance, a feature of obesity‐related inflammation.
Journal ArticleDOI

The impact of childhood obesity on inflammation, innate immune cell frequency, and metabolic microRNA expression.

TL;DR: Childhood obesity is associated with changes in immune cell frequency, inflammatory environment, and regulation of metabolic gene expression that are causally linked to the onset of metabolic disease in adulthood and suggest the future trajectory of obese children to the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus and premature cardiovascular disease.
