Fundamental sex differences in cocaine-induced plasticity of D1R- and D2R-MSNs in the mouse nucleus accumbens core

Biology of Sex Differences
Background Cocaine-induced changes in nucleus accumbens shell (NAcSh) medium spiny neurons (MSNs) differ based on dopamine receptor subtype expression, the sex of the animal, and for females, phase of the estrous cycle.

Hippocampal neurogenesis in mice at different phases of the estrous cycle

, 2014
Background: Sex differences in the morphology and function of the hippocampus have been reported in several species. Natural fluctuations of sex hormones during the estrous cycle affect the hippocampal neurogenesis of adult female.

Independent and synergistic effects of maternal and paternal obesogenic diets on offspring early‐life outcomes in the rat

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Independent effects of maternal obesogenic diets on offspring outcomes are acknowledged, but data on paternal and combined maternal–paternal obesity remain limited. We investigated independent and combined maternal–paternal effects of an obesogenic (OB) high‐fat, high‐sugar diet on offspring outcomes.

Mitochondrial haplotype and sex modulate responses to endurance exercise training

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Using OKC‐HETB/W rats we demonstrate that mitochondrial haplotype influences training responses of endurance exercise. Overall OKC‐HETW rats showed greater responses than OKC‐HETB in exercise tolerance, mitochondrial bioenergetics, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutation frequencies and motor co‐ordination.

Sex‐specific metabolic responses to glucagon receptor agonism and modulation of the FGF21‐glucagon axis in female mice

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Therapies targeting the glucagon receptor are being explored for obesity treatment, yet most preclinical studies remain male biased. In this study, Merrild and Johansen et al. show that in diet‐induced obese wild‐type mice a long‐acting glucagon analogue (LA‐Gcg) elicits sexually dimorphic effects on weight loss, food intake ...

APOE4 negates the effects of ovarian hormones on cerebrovascular endothelial and mitochondrial function

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend We examined the interaction effect of ovarian hormones and APOE genotype on cerebrovascular and mitochondrial function. Our data revealed that APOEε3 mice that were ovariectomized exhibited impaired endothelial function and greater oxidative stress and inflammation compared to sham controls.

Activational Effects of Gonadal Hormones on Social Reward Motivation in Adolescence and Adulthood in Female and Male Long–Evans Rats

Developmental Psychobiology, Volume 68, Issue 4, July 2026.
ABSTRACT There are age and sex differences in the processing of social reward, although the basis for these differences is not well established. We previously found greater social motivation at P50 (postpubertal adolescence) than at P70 (adulthood), and that female rats showed greater social motivation than male rats.

High‐Carbohydrate Diet Enhances Peripheral Nerve Regeneration via Hemoglobin Upregulation in Schwann Cells

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 4, July 2026.
A short‐term high‐carbohydrate diet enhances peripheral nerve regeneration more effectively than high‐protein or high‐fat diets by upregulating hemoglobin genes in Schwann cells. Increased hemoglobin promotes Schwann cell proliferation and migration, facilitating nerve repair.

Low‐frequency electroacupuncture attenuates insulin resistance in a rat model of diet‐induced maternal obesity

Pregnancy, Volume 2, Issue 4, July 2026.
Abstract Introduction Maternal obesity is highly prevalent worldwide, conferring elevated risks of maternal/fetal complications and adult‐onset disease in offspring. Obesity and pregnancy are both states of insulin resistance. Percutaneous electrical stimulation of skeletal muscle, better known as electroacupuncture (EA), mitigates insulin resistance ...
