Since the role of miR-155-5p in vascular insulin resistance has not been elucidated yet and AKT is a confirmed target of this miRNA [30] that promotes proliferation and survival of VSMCs and ECs during atherosclerosis [30,31,32], we explored whether miR-155-5p could contribute to the development of insulin resistance. The gene discussed is AKT1; the disease is Insulin resistance.
