Abstract
A literature review about the role of microrna in biological processes associated with .obesity was completed. Modern ideas about micrornas, their biogenesis and their role in the formation of adipose tissue, glucose and lipid metabolism were described. The possibilities of using microRNA as new biomarkers and therapeutic targets for development of anti-obesity drugs were considered.
