MicroRNAs are small non-coding RNAs that can regulate gene expression by inhibiting translation or promoting mRNA degradation. miRNAs can be released into the circulation where they are carried by ribonucleoproteins, such as Agonaute-2, or lipoproteins, like HDL, or in extracellular vesicles or exosomes. Studies have shown an advantage of exosomes over artificial liposomes for RNA transpo…
Obesity is a consequence of factors such as over nutrition and sedentary lifestyle, which leads to weight gain and several metabolic disorders, especially Insulin Resistance (IR) and Type II Diabetes (DM2). Several intracellular mechanisms are associated with the IR emergence, among them, is the iNOS enzyme, which activity is induced by pro-inflammatory cytokines in obesity. Many studies …
The major aim of this study is investigate the role of iNOS in endoplasmic reticulum stress, using mice with selective deletion of the gene encoding iNOS fed a high-fat diet for 3 months. Additionally, this effect will be evaluated in animals fed high-fat diet and treated with a selective blocker of iNOS. Thus, we will investigate the role of iNOS on insulin sensitivity through the insuli…
MicroRNAs are small non-coding RNAs that can regulate gene expression being released into the circulation where they are carried by ribonucleoproteins, lipoproteins, extracellular vesicles or exosomes. Studies have shown an advantage of exosomes over artificial liposomes for RNA transport due to their higher capacity of endocytosis and protection against phagocytosis. In addition, althoug…
Obesity, a disease characterized by low-grade chronic inflammation in adipose tissue, results from the disturbance of the body's energy balance, induced by factors such as overnutrition and sedentary lifestyle, leading to weight gain and metabolic disorders. Several intracellular pathways are associated with Insulin Resistance (IR) occurrence and, among them, it's the iNOS enzyme, which i…
