    MiR-335, an Adipogenesis-Related MicroRNA, is Involved in Adipose Tissue Inflammation

    During the development of obesity, adipose tissue releases a host of different adipokines and inflammatory cytokines, such as leptin, resistin, tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), Interleukin-6 (IL-6), and adipon...

    Knockdown of LYRM1 Rescues Insulin Resistance and Mitochondrial Dysfunction Induced by FCCP in 3T3-L1 Adipocytes

    LYR motif-containing 1 (LYRM1) was recently discovered to be involved in adipose tissue homeostasis and obesity-associated insulin resistance. We previously demonstrated that LYRM1 overexpression might contribute...
