Experimental evolution through selection experiments is a vital tool for exploring the special features of polygenic traits. Here, we provide liver transcriptome data from a paternally selected marathon mouse model (DUhTP), characterized by exceptional running performance, and unselected controls (DUC), both descended from the same polygenic background. To study training responses, both lines were either…

Statins reduce cardiovascular risk but modestly increase type 2 diabetes (T2D). Evidence is limited by underrepresentation of women and lack of sex-specific analyses. In an umbrella review and meta-analysis of 21 trials with sex-disaggregated data, statins increased T2D risk similarly in women (OR 1.28) and men (OR 1.24). However, absence of study-level data precluded assessment…
