Popis: Household air pollution has been associated as a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess the expression of vascular inflammation regulators miR-126 and miR-155 in plasma from women that cook with wood and women that cook with liquid petroleum gas (LPG). A cumulative index of exposure to smoke (CIES) was estimated, urinary 1-hydroxypyrene (1-OHP) levels were quantified and miRNAs expression levels were determined by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). Biochemical clinical parameters were also evaluated. The average values for CIES and 1-OHP were 140 ± 86.8 hours-years (12.0-270 hours-years) and 0.52 ± 0.45 µmol/mol creatinine, respectively. miR-126 and miR-155 expression levels were significantly higher (p
