Upregulation of miR-221-3p worsens insulin resistance by targeting SOCS1 in adipocytes, leading to metabolic dysfunction.
A significant increase in miR-221-3p levels was observed in adipose tissues of mice on a high-fat diet, correlating with insulin resistance.
Models utilized include a high-fat diet in mice and palmitate stimulation in 3T3-L1 cells to analyze insulin resistance mechanisms.
This research highlights the critical role of the miR-221-3p/SOCS1 axis in glucose metabolism, identifying a potential target for treatment.
