Coronary artery calcification and aortic valve calcification in patients with kidney failure : a sex-disaggregated study

, 2023
Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is linked to an increased cardiovascular disease (CVD) burden. Albeit underappreciated, sex differences are evident in CKD with females being more prone to CKD development, but males progressing more rapidly to ...

Sex differences in schizophrenia

International Review of Psychiatry, 2010
Evidence suggests sex differences in schizophrenia reflect differences in both neurodevelopmental processes and social effects on disease risk and course. Male:female incidence approximates 1.4:1 but at older onset women predominate. Prevalence differences appear smaller.

ERβ mediates sex-specific protection in the App-NL-G-F mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease

Biology of Sex Differences
Background Menopausal loss of neuroprotective estrogen is thought to contribute to the sex differences in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Activation of estrogen receptor beta (ERβ) can be clinically relevant since it avoids the adverse systemic effects of ERα ...

Sexually dimorphic effect of aging on skeletal muscle protein synthesis

Biology of Sex Differences, 2012
Background Although there appear to be no differences in muscle protein turnover in young and middle aged men and women, we have reported significant differences in the rate of muscle protein synthesis between older adult men and women.

Relationship between sex biases in gene expression and sex biases in autism and Alzheimer’s disease

Biology of Sex Differences
Background Sex differences in the brain may play an important role in sex-differential prevalence of neuropsychiatric conditions. Methods In order to understand the transcriptional basis of sex differences, we analyzed multiple, large-scale, human ...

Sex steroid hormone modulation of neural stem cells: a critical review

Biology of Sex Differences, 2019
While numerous in vivo experiments have sought to explore the effects of sex chromosome composition and sex steroid hormones on cellular proliferation and differentiation within the mammalian brain, far fewer studies as reviewed here, have explored these

From mice to humans—divergent strategies for intestinal homeostasis and regeneration

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Recent advances such as organoid genome editing, xenotransplantation, imaging, and whole‐genome sequencing have enabled direct studies of human intestinal stem cells (ISCs). These studies reveal species‐specific features, including slower ISC proliferation, distinct injury responses, slower somatic mutation accumulation in humans, and an inverse ...

Sex differences in lateralization of attention functions [PDF]

, 2010
Performance on two lateralized attention tasks, a unique, modified version of the Stroop task, and the Lateralized Attention Network Task, was investigated to add evidence to the topic of lateralized hemispheric strengths and weaknesses between the sexes.

A meta-analysis of sex differences in neonatal rodent ultrasonic vocalizations and the implication for the preclinical maternal immune activation model

Biology of Sex Differences
As the earliest measure of social communication in rodents, ultrasonic vocalizations (USVs) in response to maternal separation are critical in preclinical research on neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs).
