Dietary patterns, circulating miRNA expression and healthspan in the Adventist Health Study-2
We collected plasma samples from 96 cohort members with different dietary patterns including vegan, semi-vegetarian, lacto-vegetarian and non-vegetarian, and performed miRNA deep sequencing. Our study showed that vegetarian dietary pattern is modulating aging-associated circulating miRNAs in a sex-dependent manner of differential expression for certain miRNAs that may be related to a beneficial healthspan.
