| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To characterize novel microRNAs (miRNA) related to obesity and diabetes in cats, we identified the feline miRNA expressed in white adipose tissue (WAT) and exosome with next-generation sequencing. In WAT, we identified 169 of novel feline miRNAs that could regulate expression of their target genes including angiogenesis, adipocyte differentiation and inhibition.
