How do oestrogen levels affect survival rates in patients with advanced NSCLC?▪ Oestrogen levels appear to play a role in lung cancer survival for both women and men, accordingdoi:10.1097/01434893-200708000-00011FuerstMarkOncology Times Uk
Menopause causes a drop in levels of the hormone oestrogen. Oestrogen has a protective effect on heart health by reducing levels of ‘bad’ LDL cholesterol, increasing levels of ‘good’ HDL cholesterol and reducing inflammation. Lower oestrogen levels after menopause can, therefore, lea...
In recent times, we have learnt more about the connections between the "reproductive" or gonadal hormones and the brain, and how they affect not only women but men as well. Gonadal hormones (oestrogen, progesterone and testosterone) are produced by the gonads (the ovaries and testes) in resp...
“Oestrogen and progesterone are produced by the ovaries,” explains Dr Ifeoma Ejikeme, medical consultant skin expert and founder of Adonia Medical Clinic. “They work together to regulate the growth and shedding of the uterine lining as well as the development and release of an egg from the ...
, particularly excess abdominal fat, is linked to insulin resistance (when the body has to produce more insulin to keep blood sugar levels normal) and decreased levels of sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG), a protein that is involved in theregulation of the sex-hormones androgen and oestrogen...
[222,223]. The activity of L1 is also under epigenetic control and “active” demethylated L1 insertions have the capacity to regulate the expression of proximal and distal genes at the transcriptional or post-transcriptional level [224]. Therefore, polymorphisms in L1 sequences could affect ...
Importantly, the sexually dimorphic brain, similar to most sex differences, does not fall into a hard binary readout—but rather is on a continuum or spectrum with each cell and each brain region comprised of varying degrees of 'male' and 'female' (Hines, 2005; Joel and McCarthy, 2016)....

Lifestyle and environmental factors, such as diet, smoking, physical activity, and endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), are correlated with a predisposition to type 2 diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular disease, and cancer [44]. Not only do these factors affect the health of an individual, but,...
How does the morphological variation in face and body height affect the differences in SShD across populations? Higher morphological variation may be a necessary precursor to a higher degree of sexual dimorphism. We therefore expect that populations with lower levels of facial shape variation will be...
