Abstract:Background: Systemic arterial hypertension is a multicausal and multifactorial disease of high prevalence worldwide. The development, progression, and damage of target organs are associated not only with genetic and environmental factors, but also epigenetic factors, such as the regulation by microRNAs (miRNAs). MiRNAs – including miRNA-1-3p, miRNA-21-5p and miRNA-126-5p have been described as potential biomarkers in hypertension, type 2 diabetes and obesity, but their role of in the development and progressio… Show more
