ADIPOQ and endometriosis: Zolbin et al. demonstrated that the upregulation (miR-342-3p) or inhibition (Let-7b) of microRNAs seen in endometriosis significantly alters the expression of adipocyte genes related to brown adipocyte differentiation (Cebpa/b and Ppar-γ), fat metabolism (IL-6, HSL), and glucose metabolism (leptin and adipoq) [33].
