Obesity Increases Atherosclerosis Susceptibility via an Intertissue miR-30e-SLC7A11 Axis.
BACKGROUND With obesity as a risk factor for atherosclerotic disease, recent research suggests that adipose tissue in obese animal models and humans can generate endocrine-like molecules that affect arterial health. Previous studies showed that microRNA-30e (miR-30e) levels are elevated in atherosclerosis and solute ca...
