Cadmium intake and systemic exposure in postmenopausal women and age-matched men who smoke cigarettes.
Mean blood cadmium (B-Cd) concentrations are two- to threefold higher in smokers than in nonsmokers. The basis for this phenomenon is not well understood. We conducted a detailed, multifaceted study of cadmium exposure in smokers. Groups were older smokers (62±4 years, n = 25, 20% male) and nonsmokers (62±3 years, n = 16, 31% male). Each subject's cigarettes were machine smoked, generating indi...
متن کاملCoronary endothelial function is better in healthy premenopausal women than in healthy older postmenopausal women and men
BACKGROUND Premenopausal women have fewer cardiovascular disease (CVD) events than postmenopausal women and age-matched men, but the reasons are not fully understood. Coronary endothelial function (CEF), a barometer of coronary vascular health, promises important insights into age and sex differences in atherosclerotic CVD risk, but has not been well characterized in healthy individuals because...
متن کاملInferior temporal neurons show greater sensitivity to nonaccidental than to metric shape differences.
It has long been known that macaque inferior temporal (IT) neurons tend to fire more strongly to some shapes than to others, and that different IT neurons can show markedly different shape preferences. Beyond the discovery that these preferences can be elicited by features of moderate complexity, no general principle of (nonface) object recognition had emerged by which this enormous variation i...
متن کاملMen had greater risk for recurrent venous thromboembolism than women.
M e t h o d s Design: Inception cohort followed for a median of 26 months (Austrian Study on Recurrent Venous Thromboembolism). Setting: 4 thrombosis centers in Vienna. Patients: 826 patients > 18 years of age (mean age 48 y, 55% women) who had a first episode of VTE and had been treated with oral anticoagulants for ≥ 3 months. Patients had received standard heparin at doses designed to keep th...
متن کاملAre men at greater risk for Parkinson's disease than women?
Parkinson's disease seems to occur more commonly in men than women based primarily on studies of death rates and prevalence. In recent years, several population based incidence studies of Parkinson's disease that included sex data have been conducted in a variety of populations around the world. To investigate whether these incidence studies suggest an increased risk of Parkinson's disease in m...
