Convexity in finite metric spaces

A subsetS of a metric space (X,d) is calledd-convex if for any pair of pointsx,y S each pointz X withd(x,z) +d(z,y) =d(x,y) belongs toS. We give some results and open questions concerning isometric and convexity-preserving embeddings of finite metric spaces into standard spaces and the number ofd-convex sets of a finite metric space.
