BMI can influence adult males’ and females’ airway hyperresponsiveness differently
UNLABELLED BACKGROUND Epidemiological data indicate that obesity is a risk factor for asthma, but scientific literature is still debating the association between changes in body mass index (BMI) and airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR). METHODS This study aimed at evaluating the influence of BMI on AHR, in outpatients with symptoms suggestive of asthma.4,217 consecutive adult subjects (2,439 M...
متن کاملObesity can influence children’s and adolescents’ airway hyperresponsiveness differently
BACKGROUND Literature is still arguing about a possible relationship between airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) and body mass index (BMI). This study aimed at evaluating the influence of BMI on AHR and pulmonary function in children and adolescents that performed a methacholine test for suggestive asthma symptoms. METHODS 799 consecutive children/adolescents (535 M; mean age: 15 ± 3 yrs; median...
متن کاملMales and females respond differently to controllability and antidepressant treatment.
BACKGROUND Women are much more likely to suffer from stress-related mental illness than men; yet few, if any, animal models for such sex differences exist. Previously, we reported that exposure to an acute stressor enhances learning in male rats yet severely impairs learning in female rats. Here, we tested whether these opposite effects in males versus females could be prevented by establishing...
متن کاملPyloric Stenosis - Do Males and Females Present Differently?
AIMS In infants with pyloric stenosis we explored (a) if males develop symptoms and present to hospital earlier than females and (b) does any delay in presentation influence the severity of metabolic derangement. METHOD A retrospective casenote review of 99 infants who underwent pyloromyotomy (with confirmation of pyloric stenosis) over a two year period (Jan 2006-Dec 2007) in our hospital. T...
متن کاملSelection on females can create 'larger males'.
In many bird and mammal species, males are significantly larger than females. The prevailing explanation for larger-sized males is that sexual selection drives increased male size. In addition, researchers commonly assume that the extent of dimorphism indicates the strength of selection for increased size in males. Here, through reconstruction of ancestral morphology for males and females of on...
