From: Muscle miRNAs are influenced by sex at baseline and in response to exercise
The skeletal muscle microRNA profile displays differences at baseline and a differential response to exercise between males and females. A Volcano plot: differences in microRNA expression levels between males compared to female at baseline. B Venn diagram: Overlap between miRNAs that were altered 3 h after an acute bout of exercise in females (female up-regulated miRNAs) and males (males up-regulated or down-regulated miRNAs). C Volcano plot: Interaction analysis revealed sex differences in miRNA response to an acute bout of exercise. Each point represents a microRNA. Red points indicate an increase in miRNA expression in males compared to females. Blue points indicate a decrease in miRNA expression in males compared to females. Black dots were not significant. Significance was set at FDR adjusted p value < 0.05. N = 44. Details of the specific miRNAs can be found in Additional file 1: Tables S1-5
