Despite a lack of studies on the effect of miR-21 role on the expression of thermogenic targets in PCOS, the use of miR-21 mimics in obesity induced by high-fat diet was associated with upregulation in multiple genes involved in thermogenesis, including PRDM16, PGC-1α, UCP1, and CIDE-A [35]. This evidence concerns the gene PPARGC1A and obesity disorder.
