DOI: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cmet.2021.03.011 Interpretive Summary: Technical Abstract: Adipose tissue macrophages regulate adipose tissue inflammation and systemic insulin-glucose homeostasis. In a recent study by Ying et. al. (2021), M2 polarized bone marrow-derived macrophages secreted exosomes containing miR-690 that, when administered to obese mice, improved glucose-insulin homeostasis. miR-690 reduced expression of Nadk which decreased inflammation and improved insulin signaling. |
