Adipose-derived exosomal miR-210/92a cluster inhibits adipose browning via the FGFR-1 signaling pathway in high-altitude hypoxia.

ABSTRACT: Cold and hypoxia are critical drivers of adaptation to high altitudes. Organisms at high altitudes have adapted to maximize the efficiency of oxygen utilization and are less prone to obesity and diabetes than those at low altitudes. Brown adipose tissue (BAT) dissipates energy in the form of heat in both humans and rodents; it also serves to regulate metabolism to curb obesity. However, the role of BAT in high-altitude populations is poorly understood. Serum exosomes can be easily obtained, enabling the study of BAT functions and identification of biomarkers in serum exosomes, both of which contribute to understanding the role of BAT in high-altitude populations. ¹⁸F-Fluorodeoxyglucose (¹⁸F-FDG) positron emission tomography integrated with computed tomography (PET/CT)
