Hypoxic and hypercapnic ventilatory responses in aging male vs. aging female rats.

It is clear that sex hormones impact ventilation. While the effects of the menstrual cycle, pregnancy, testosterone, and progesterone on resting ventilation have been well documented, effects of sex hormones on the hypoxic (HVR) and hypercapnic ventilatory responses (HCVR) are inconclusive. In addition, in no study have systemic sex steroid hormone levels been measured. Age and sex differences ...

Aging Female Voices: an Acoustic and Perceptive Analysis
