Expression of MicroRNA-200a/b/c in the Mediobasal Hypothalamic Nuclei with Aging.

Background: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) belong to small non-coding RNAs that coordinate the expression of cellular genes at the post-transcriptional level. The hypothalamus is a key regulator of homeostasis, biological rhythms and adaptation to different environmental factors. It also participates in the aging regulation.

Ontogenetic Changes in the Expression of the Lin28 Protein in the Rat Hypothalamic Tuberal Nuclei.

The hypothalamus is a primary regulator of homeostasis, biological rhythms and adaptation to different environment factors. It also participates in the aging regulation. The expression of neurons containing Lin28 was studied by immunohistochemistry in male rats aged 2, 6, 12, and 24 months in the tuberal region of the rat hypothalamus.
