Circulating miRNA-21 and Biomarkers of Inflammation, Fibrosis, and Oxidative Stress in Adults with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: A Cross-Sectional Study
Purpose Chronic inflammation, oxidative stress, and fibrosis are interconnected drivers of complications in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and may precede detectable changes in conventional clinical markers. MicroRNA-21 (miR-21) has been implicated in all three pathways, but its associations with representative biomar...
