Sex differences in DNA methylation of the cord blood are related to sex-bias psychiatric diseases
Sex differences in the prevalence of psychiatric disorders are well documented, with exposure to stress during gestation differentially impacting females and males. We explored sex-specific DNA methylation in the cord blood of 39 females and 32 males born at term and with appropriate weight at birth regarding their potential connection to psychiatric outcomes. Mothers were interviewed to gather...
متن کاملDNA methylation differences after exposure to prenatal famine are common and timing- and sex-specific.
Prenatal famine in humans has been associated with various later-life consequences, depending on the gestational timing of the insult and the sex of the exposed individual. Epigenetic mechanisms have been proposed to underlie these associations. Indeed, animal studies and our early human data on the imprinted IGF2 locus indicated a link between prenatal nutritional and DNA methylation. However,...
متن کاملInfluence of Prenatal Arsenic Exposure and Newborn Sex on Global Methylation of Cord Blood DNA
BACKGROUND An emerging body of evidence indicates that early-life arsenic (As) exposure may influence the trajectory of health outcomes later in life. However, the mechanisms underlying these observations are unknown. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to investigate the influence of prenatal As exposure on global methylation of cord blood DNA in a study of mother/newborn pairs in Matl...
متن کاملHand Function Related to Age and Sex
Objectives: The purpose of this study was for evaluation of relationship between hand function and age, sex by Jebson Taylor Test.This study determined whether age might be a factor when associated with sex. Methods: In this study Jebson Taylor was evaluated on hand in 180 normal males and females (0.50% male, 0.50% female) in each of the following 7 subtest in 3 age groups: (15-25), (35-45)...
متن کاملMate quality bias: Sex differences in humans
In mate choice copying, a male is more likely to be chosen by other females simply by being observed mating. A recent finding is that women are influenced in their assessments of men by the phenotypic quality of males’ sexual partners. We recently proposed that the term ‘mate quality bias’ should be used to differentiate this phenomenon from ‘mate choice copying’. Here, under the guise of a dat...
