Learn to distinguish mass vs. volume and mass vs. matter. Discover whether matter has mass, and identify the differences between mass, volume, and...
This keynote chapter provides an overview of research into the relationship between health and gender/sex. Since health has multiple dimensions, several measures are needed to capture variations by gender and the use of multiple measures can help us better understand the underlying explanations for ge...
The production of cytokines and chemokines by innate immune cells also differs between the sexes. Activation of TLR9 with viral or synthetic ligands in PBMCs from human males results in greater interleukin-10 (IL-10) production compared with PBMCs from females, which is positively correlated with ...
They found significant seasonal and sex differences in absolute volume of the entire hippocampus, dentate gyrus and CA1 and CA3 subfields, but relative to brain volume, only CA1 was significantly different between the sexes and there were no significant interaction effects. Given that these two ...
Objectives: To determine sex differences in the distribution of regional and total skeletal muscle (SM) using contiguous whole body magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data, and to examine the relations between fat free mass (FFM) and total and regional SM masses. Methods: A total of 20 Japanese...
(e.g., Dunnock,prunella modularis). Sexual size dimorphism was estimated by combining differences between the sexes in adult body mass, tarsus length, and wing length. In practice, sexual size dimorphism was calculated for three traits representing body size (body mass (g), tarsus length (mm...
The excretion rate of all eicosinoids in the awake state was similar between the sexes. PGE 2 excretion remained unaffected after anesthesia/surgery in both sexes indicating that providing plasma volume is maintained, the PGE 2 system is not activated by the stress of anesthesia/surgery. Near ...
Here, we show that sex differences in body weight do not explain all differences in phenotypic traits between male and female mice, highlighting that sex differences in allometry may impact study outcomes in biomedicine. We adopt the framework of static allometry, the measurement of trait covariation...
sat in a chair with their left arm supported at heart level, and forearm blood flow (FBF) was recorded at 4:26 ± 1:42 min post-exercise. FBF measurement times post-exercise differed by 26 ± 45 s within-participant, between tests at Pre and Post. Towel-dried, nude body mass was ...
Background: The relationship between long-term obesity and left atrial (LA) structure and function is not entirely understood. We examined the association of cumulative body mass index (cBMI) with LA remodeling using three-dimensional (3D) speckle-tracking echocardiography (STE). Methods: The Corona...
