Sex-related survival differences in murine cardiomyopathy are associated with differences in TNF-receptor expression.
Epidemiological evidence suggests that the prognosis of heart failure in women is better than in men. In our murine model of dilated cardiomyopathy arising from cardiac-specific overexpression of TNF-alpha, the 6-month survival rate was significantly better in females than in males. Young female transgenic mice exhibited left ventricular wall thickening without dilatation, whereas age-matched m...
متن کاملSex 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 کاملQuantifying Variations in Personal Color Spaces: Are There Sex Differences in Color Vision?
We report a search for group differences in color experience between male and female subjects, focusing on the relative prominence of the axes of color space. Dissimilarity data were collected in the form of triadic (odd-oneout) judgments, made with the caps of the D-15 color deficiency test, with lighting conditions controlled. Multidimensional scaling reduced these judgments to a small number...
متن کاملSex-related differences in peripheral human color vision: a color matching study.
There has been much controversy as to whether there are sex-related differences in human color vision. While previous work has concentrated on testing the central visual field, this study compares male versus female color vision in the near peripheral retina. Male (n = 19) and female (n = 19) color normal observers who exhibited no significant differences either in the midpoints or the ranges o...
متن کاملColor vision in squirrel monkeys: sex-related differences suggest the mode of inheritance.
Behavioral tests of vision in squirrel monkeys (Saimiri sciureus) reveal that there are widespread individual variations in color vision in this species. The variation has a sex-related component: whereas both trichromatic and dichromatic color vision occurs among female monkeys, males appear exclusively dichromatic. This finding suggests that, unlike humans, squirrel monkeys have only a single...
