Resumen en inglés | The overweight population is growing in the world, and the search for obesity-associated mechanisms is important for a better understanding of this disease. Few studies with the FTO gene and miRs show how they associate to obesity and how they can impact this disease. The aim of this study was to verify the relationship between the FTO gene and the hsa-miR-150-5p expression with overweight/obesity, lipid profile, and fast blood glucose. Men and women (18 years older or above), with body mass index ≥ 18.5 kg/m2, were enrolled in the present study and the FTO gene and hsa-miR-150-5p expression, biochemical parameters of blood and anthropometric measurements were analyzed. The results highlight that the FTO gene expression is associated to obesity (p 0.029), LDL-C (p 0.02) and fasting blood glucose (p 0.02), but not with triglycerides (p 0.69), total cholesterol (p 0.21), and HDL-C (p 0.24). The hsa-miR-150-5p is not associated to obesity (p 0.84), triglycerides (p 0.57), total cholesterol (p 0.51), HDL-C (p 0.75), LDL-C (p 0.32), and fasting blood glucose (p 0.42). The FTO gene expression is related to obesity, LDL-C and blood fasting glucose, representing a good molecular marker for obesity |
