Children’s screen time alters the expression of saliva extracellular miR-222 and miR-146a

Abstract An imbalance between energy uptake and energy expenditure is the most important reason for increasing trends in obesity starting from early in life. Extracellular miRNAs are expressed in all bodily fluids and their expression is influenced by a broad range of stimuli. We examined whether sc...
