Swimming training mitigates the sex-specific hepatic disruption caused by a high-calorie diet: The putative modulation o...
Published in Cell biochemistry and function
This study investigated whether swimming protocol induces adaptations to sex-specific oxidative stress and Nrf2/Keap-1 pathway in the liver of mice fed a high-calorie diet (HCD) during the early life period. Male and female Swiss mice were fed a standard or high-calorie (enriched with 20% lard and 20% corn syrup) diets, and the trained mice were su...
Beyond the Sex Binary: Toward the Inclusive Anatomical Sciences Education.
Published in Anatomical sciences education
Developments in biology and genetics in recent decades have caused significant shifts in the understanding and conceptualization of human biological variation. Humans vary biologically in different ways, including individually, due to age, ancestry, and sex. An understanding of the complexities of all levels of biological variation is necessary for...
Sex, Pramipexole and Tiagabine Affect Behavioral and Hormonal Response to Traumatic Stress in a Mouse Model of PTSD
Published in Frontiers in Pharmacology
Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) has been associated with abnormal regulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal gland axis (HPA). Women demonstrate a more robust HPA response and are twice as likely to develop PTSD than men. The role of sex hormones in PTSD remains unclear. We investigated whether post-trauma chronic treatment with the GABA...
Impact of Sex Differences on Mortality in Patients With Sepsis After Trauma: A Nationwide Cohort Study
Published in Frontiers in Immunology
Objective Sepsis is the leading cause of death in intensive care units, and sepsis after trauma is associated with increased mortality rates. However, the characteristics of sepsis after trauma remain unknown, and the influence of sex on mortality remains controversial. This study aimed to assess the role of sex in in-hospital mortality in patients...
Influencing Factors on Postmortem Protein Degradation for PMI Estimation: A Systematic Review.
Published in Diagnostics (Basel, Switzerland)
The present review provides an overview of the current research status on the effects of influencing factors on postmortem protein degradation used to estimate the PMI (postmortem interval). Focus was set on characteristics of internal and external influencing factors and the respective susceptibility and/or robustness of protein degradation. A sys...
Pituitary Adenylate Cyclase-Activating Polypeptide in Learning and Memory
Published in Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience
Pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) is a highly conserved neuropeptide that regulates neuronal physiology and transcription through Gs/Gq-coupled receptors. Its actions within hypothalamic, limbic, and mnemonic systems underlie its roles in stress regulation, affective processing, neuroprotection, and cognition. Recently, ele...

Comparison Between Performance Levels for Mathematical Competence: Results for the Sex Variable
Published in Frontiers in Psychology
Schools promote all-round education for each of their students. This requires teachers to work on all of the possibilities offered by a subject, including mathematical ability. This process of adjustment and individualization is essential for students who have excellent performance or aptitudes. This study uses an ex post facto, descriptive and qua...
