Asprosin, a hormone secreted from adipose tissue, has been implicated in the modulation of cell viability. Current studies suggest that neurological impairments are increased in individuals with obesity-linked diabetes, likely due to the presence of excess adipose tissue, but the precise molecular mechanism behind this association remains poorly understood. In this study, our hypothesis that asprosin has the potential to mitigate neuronal damage in a high glucose (HG) environment while also regulating the expression of microRNA (miRNA)-181a, which is involved in critical biological processes such as cellular survival, apoptosis, and autophagy...
