Roux-en-Y gastric bypass stimulates hypothalamic miR-122 and inhibits cardiac and hepatic miR-122 expressions

摘要

Background: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous noncoding small ribonucleic acids that have emerged as one of the central players of gene expression regulation. This study was designed to determine and identify miRNAs that are associated with Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB).
