Notes: Data on miRNA levels and biological analytes are transformed into a log scale (-log2). A significant difference was determined using Pearson’s correlation analysis. The p-value less than 0.05 is shown in bold and italic styles.

Abbreviation: OB with IR, subjects with obesity and insulin resistance.
