The work shows that MIR-155 regulates several aspects of glucose metabolism and is necessary for normal blood sugar levels in mice.This new discovery increases the understanding of glucose collection in type 2 diabetes, which is an increasingly frequent and potentially weakening disease.

Together, the results of the investigation demonstrate, for the first time, that MIR-155 increases the sensitivity to insulin and that the micrrorna can produce potential therapies for the treatment of diabetes, according to the authors of the work.
