We found that these changes were mediated via sex hormone receptors using antagonist experiments.The results of the present study indicate that sex hormones induce gender-dimorphic expression of hepatic fetuins directly via sex hormone receptors. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first ...
The biological differences between males and females are determined by a different set of genes and by a different reactivity to environmental stimuli, including the diet, in general. These differences are further emphasized and driven by the exposure to a different hormone flux throughout the life...
Despite the fact that tamoxifen had an effect on body weight similar to that of ERT, females receiving tamoxifen treatment consumed less food than both sham-operated and ERT females (P < 0.05). Weight gain is modulated by sex hormones in male and female rats, with both estrogen and ...
Behaviors in which human males and females differ are frequently attributed to fetal gonadal hormone exposures. Much current thinking on this topic relies on a model of explanation the authors call linear-analytic. This model emerges from studies of hormone-behavior relationships in nonhuman animals. ...
Dissimilarities in ocular physiopathology exist between human males and females. These differences can be observed in the lacrimal and other eye-associated glands, the ocular surface, the crystalline lens, and the retinochoroid complexes. Literature on the subject revealed that because of sex steroid ...
Females from all-female populations produced by treatment with sex hormones were mated with normal males resulting in nine spawns with a sex ratio different from 1:1. The sex ratios were statistically similar to 3 male: 1 female in five spawns, both 2:1 and 3:1 in two spawns, and 2:1...
One could argue that the most striking differences between males and females are not the anatomy of the genitals, but the size of the gametes-considerably larger in females than males. In fact, there could be many different endpoints to sex determination, leading to differences between the sexes...
Background/Aims: Adiponectin is an adipose tissue-derived adipocytokine which, starting at puberty, is present in lower levels in males than in females. In adults, a relationship between adiponectin levels and sexual hormones has been suggested, but this association remains unclear in children. Our...
1. 1. In teleost fish, sex pheromones are involved in advanced phases of reproduction, priming actions influencing oocyte maturation and ovulation in females, and spermiation in males; releasing actions involving attraction of prospective mates and triggering spawning behavior and release of gametes. ...
Neurogenesis within the adult hippocampus is modulated by endogenous and exogenous factors. Here, we review the role of sex hormones in the regulation of adult hippocampal neurogenesis in males and females. The review is framed around the potential functional implications of sex hormone regulation of ...
