Abstract:Conclusions: Acu/LFES not only improves muscle function, but also increases miR-181 in serum exosomes and increases renal blood flow, suggesting that miR181 may regulate renal blood flow possibly by influencing the renin-angiotensin system. This study provides new insights about the mechanism(s) of muscle-organ cross talk through exosome-derived microRNA.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
