Opinions are often linked to emotions and stress. It is well established that testosterone and cortisol are useful biomarkers of stress and can predict hum
Given the estrogen-loaded environment in early human development in utero, we treated the pSMCs with physiologic concentrations of estrogen (E2) for 14 days to investigate the effect of E2 on the differentiation of the intermediate cell type from VPCs toward pSMCs. The mRNA levels of smoothelin ...
we discuss the findings from these publications and consider the evidence for the genetic, hormonal, and immune mechanisms that are theorized to account for sex differences in early human placenta. We also highlight the cellular and molecular processes that are most likely...
The molecular nature of animal pheromones is not known in most cases. Studies of rodents, however, showed that small airborne molecules are involved [2] along with nonvolatile substances such as steroids [3], peptides [4], [5] and proteins [6]. Air-transport enables volatile pheromones to...
Sex as a biological variable is an underappreciated aspect of biomedical research, with its importance emerging in more recent years (Hunter et al., 2023; Joyner, 2017; Miller, 2012). Contemporary data demonstrate differences between male and female humans and animals in most, if not all, physi...
The acquisition of Corixa gives us valuable adjuvant technology, enabling us to boost human immune response to our vaccines." GSK also made good progress on its pipeline of new vaccines. "We expect five major vaccine launches in the next five years," says JP. "Perhaps most exciting is ...
The ratio of 2nd to 4th digit length: a predictor of sperm numbers and concentrations of testosterone, luteinizing hormone and oestrogen. The differentiation of the urinogenital system and the appendicular skeleton in vertebrates is under the control of Hox genes. The common control of digit ......
What are the effect concentrations and how do they relate to environmental levels? Our review shows that only very little is known about long-term effects of pharmaceuticals to aquatic organisms, in particular with respect to biological targets. For most human medicines analyzed, acute effects to ...
Moreover, the mid-cycle estradiol and testosterone peaks in chimpanzees are comparable to those in women (Morris et al. 1987). The Three-Fold Impact of SSC in Nonhuman Primates: Attractiveness, Fertility, and Sociality Females of many nonhuman primate species exhibit sexually attractive signals ...
