Estrogen-related mechanisms in sex differences of hypertension and target organ damage
Biology of Sex Differences, 2020 Hypertension (HTN) is a primary risk factor for cardiovascular (CV) events, target organ damage (TOD), premature death and disability worldwide. The pathophysiology of HTN is complex and influenced by many factors including biological sex.

Direct evidence supporting Darwin's hypothesis of cross-pollination promoted by sex organ reciprocity. [PDF]
New Phytol, 2022 Summary The floral phenotype plays a main role in the attraction and fit of pollinators. Both perianth traits and the positioning of sex organs can be subjected to natural selection and determine nonrandom mating patterns in populations.

Studies on sex-organ development. The hormonal regulation of steroidogenesis and adenosine 3′:5′-cyclic monophosphate in embryonic-chick ovary [PDF]
Biochemical Journal, 1977 1. We investigated the production of steroid hormones by the ovaries of the developing embryonic chick under conditions of organ culture. Radioimmunoassay techniques were used to measure the amount of steroid hormone released into the culture medium ...

Studies on sex-organ development. Ontogeny of cytoplasmic oestrogen receptor in chick Müllerian duct [PDF]
Biochemical Journal, 1975 Oestradiol receptors were observed in the cytoplasm of the chick Müllerian duct at several embryonic stages. The sedimentation coefficients and the dissociation constants of the receptor protein remained unchanged throughout the various stages of ...

Sex-biased gene expression across mammalian organ development and evolution
Science, 2023 Sexually dimorphic traits are common among mammals and are specified during development through the deployment of sex-specific genetic programs. Because little is known about these programs, we investigated them using a resource of gene expression ...

Selective estrogen receptor α activation disrupts sex organ differentiation and induces expression of vitellogenin II and very low-density apolipoprotein II in Japanese quail embryos [PDF]
Reproduction, 2008 The Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica) is a widely used model species for studying the roles of steroid hormones in avian sex differentiation. The aim of the present study was to elucidate the significance of estrogen receptors alpha and beta (ERalpha ...
