In addition, miR-27a/b levels are higher in the sera of patients with type 2 diabetes, while miR-27a/b overexpression suppresses hepatic glucose output and alleviates hyperglycemia by targeting FOXO1.247 Moreover, elevated miR-338-3p levels are responsible for decreased glycogenolysis and subsequent glycogen accumulation by directly targeting the glycogen phosphorylase brain form (PYGB).248 miR-185-5p overexpression in db/db mice that represent genetic diabetes models leads to alleviated blood hyperglycemia and decreased gluconeogenesis by directly targeting glucose-6-phosphatase (G6Pase). Here, FOXO1 is linked to Hyperglycemia.
