2012b). Knockdown of Dicer in cells results in premature senescence, and mice deficient of Dicer in adipose tissue develop lipodystrophic loss of intra‐abdominal and subcutaneous white fat, severe insulin resistance and enlargement and ‘whitening’ of intrascapular brown fat (Mori et al. 2012b, 2014), and miR‐365 was identified as a miRNA that partially can explain the ‘whitening’ phenotype. Here, DICER1 is linked to Insulin resistance.
