Sex-related difference in left ventricular mass in nonhypertensive young adults: role of arterial pressure
(Pulsus Group Inc, 2012-08)
Blood pressure (BP) is higher in men than in women at similar ages through adult life. Interestingly, a similar pattern is detected in left ventricular mass (LVM), classically attributed to differences in body size. However, ...
Male-biased effective sex ratio across populations of the threatened Zamia boliviana (Zamiaceae)
(2021-05-01)
Populations of dioecious plants commonly exhibit dissimilarities to the equilibrium expectation of a 1:1 sex ratio. Differential expenditure for reproduction between genders is cited as the primary mechanism responsible ...
Empathy, sex and fluid intelligence as predictors of theory of mind
(Elsevier, 2013-04)
Individual differences in theory of mind (ToM) are affected by a variety of factors. We investigated the relationship between empathy, sex and fluid intelligence (FI) as predictors of ToM in a random probabilistic sample ...
Role of X-linked genes on sex differences in neurogenin 3 expression in developing hypothalamic neurons
(2016)
Our previous findings indicate that sex chromosome complement regulates the generation of sex differences in mouse hypothalamic neuronal development. Higher expression of neurogenin 3 (Ngn3) in XX neurons mediates sex ...
Developmental Sex Differences in the Metabolism of Cardiolipin in Mouse Cerebral Cortex Mitochondria
(Nature Publishing Group, 2017-03)
Cardiolipin (CL) is a mitochondrial-specific phospholipid. CL content and acyl chain composition are crucial for energy production. Given that estradiol induces CL synthesis in neurons, we aimed to assess CL metabolism in ...
Determining Sex of Magellanic Penguins Using Molecular Procedures and Discriminant Functions
(Waterbird Society, 2002)
Sex differences in retention after a visual or a spatial discrimination learning task in brood parasitic shiny cowbirds
(Elsevier Science, 2015-10)
Females of avian brood parasites, like the shiny cowbird (Molothrus bonariensis), locate host nests and on subsequent days return to parasitize them. This ecological pressure for remembering the precise location of multiple ...
Sex differences in the behavior of wild Alouatta caraya infants
(Springer Tokyo, 2016-03)
Several primates show sex-based differences in activity patterns and socialinteractions during infancy. These have been associated with social and reproductive functions of males and females during adulthood and are related ...
Gonadal hormone-independent sex differences in GABAA receptor activation in rat embryonic hypothalamic neurons
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2020-03)
Background and Purpose: GABAA receptor functions are dependent on subunit composition, and, through their activation, GABA can exert trophic actions in immature neurons. Although several sex differences in GABA-mediated ...
Kinetic activity of the sex chromosomes of Mormidea paupercula (Pentatomidae, Heteroptera)
(Czech Academy of Sciences, 2010-07)
InMormidea paupercula (n = 6 + XY in males), the presence of a CMA3-bright band in the telomeric regions on both sexchromosomes allowed the analysis of the kinetic activity of the sex univalents and XY pseudobivalent at ...
