| Research Abstract |
Blood contains large numbers of circulating miRNAs (c-miRNAs). However, it is not clear whether obesity- or calorie restriction alter the expression levels of c-miRNAs compared with wild-type mice. To elucidate the physiological significance of c-miRNAs, the expression levels of several c-miRNAs were observed to change, suggesting that these c-miRNAs are involved in aging and metabolic disorders. Thus, identification of c-miRNAs in the blood could be useful for diagnosis and for the identification of therapeutic targets in lifestyle disease patients.
