Visceral adipose tissue (VAT) miR-192* correlates negatively with serum TG and positively with HDL in morbidly obese subjects.
VAT miR-192* correlates negatively with BMI in a less obese/overweight patient cohort.
miR-192* overexpression impairs adipocyte triglyceride storage.
miR-192* overexpression reduces the mRNA and protein levels of key adipogenic genes.
SCD and ALDH3A2 are direct targets of miR-192*.
