Hypertension as an important factor for cerebrovascular atherogenesis in rats.
A new model for studies on atherogenesis in the cerebrovascular system was obtained by using recently established stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRSP). SHRSP on a hypercholesterolemic diet (20% suet, 5% cholesterol, and 2% cholic acid) had ring-like fat deposits in the circle of Willis, which were detected within a few weeks by new techniques for the macroscopical demonstration ...
متن کاملAndrogen receptor expression is greater in macrophages from male than from female donors. A sex difference with implications for atherogenesis.
BACKGROUND Male sex is an independent risk factor for the extent and severity of atherosclerosis. The influence of androgens on foam cell formation, a key event in atherogenesis, has not yet been investigated. METHODS AND RESULTS Primary human monocytes were allowed to differentiate into macrophages. RNA was then extracted from healthy male-donor (n=8) and premenopausal female-donor (n=8) mac...
متن کاملSex difference of adenine effects in rats: renal function, bone mineral density and sex steroidogenesis.
Adenine is widely used in clinical field, however, an excess of adenine is harmful. It is known that the feeding of an adenine-rich diet induces renal failure and decreases bone mineral density (BMD) and the serum testosterone level in male rats. However, there is little information about the influence of adenine on female animals. We compared the effects of adenine treatment between male and f...

One simple method is for each tablet to be stuck on a card by Selotape with its name and purpose beside it: for example, allopurinol-to prevent attacks of gout. It...
متن کاملA sex difference in the leucocyte count.
In a study of a group of 325 blood donors between the ages of 18 and 65 years, the total leucocyte and polymorph counts of the females aged 50 to 65 years were found to be significantly lower than those of the corresponding group of male donors. In the whole series of female donors, there were significantly lower total leucocyte and lymphocyte counts with increasing age and a less significant (...
