Aims: To compare the effect of moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) vs. isovolumic high-intensity interval training (HIIT) on left ventricular (LV) myocardial function early post acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Training-induced changes were analyzed at both global and segmental levels using advanced deformation echocardiographic imaging techniques.

We previously showed that micronutrients such as vitamin D (VD) limited this metabolic inflammation by decreasing inflammatory markers expression including miR-155 (microRNA-155) or miR-146a in different in vitro and in vivo models. These miRNAs could be incorporated into extracellular vesicles (EVs) in order to modulate the activity of target cells.

Adipose tissue VA acts as hormonal cue maintaining essential aspects of adipocyte biology, which includes fat mobilization and catabolism, energy balance, and glucose homeostasis, and it is thus of particular interest to study its determinants, including genetic ones.
Objectives: This study aimed to identify genetic variations associated with adipose tissue VA concentration.
