Circulating miRNAs in girls with abdominal obesity: miR ‐221‐3p as a biomarker of response to weight loss interventions

ConclusionsBioinformatic analysis evidenced that miR-221-3p participates in several obesity-related pathways, and more interestingly, this miRNA targets several candidate genes to childhood obesity according to DisGeNet database. Thus, miR-221-3p could be used for predicting the response to a multidisciplinary intervention for weight loss in young girls.
