On sexual dimorphism in immune function.
Sexual dimorphism in immune function is a common pattern in vertebrates and also in a number of invertebrates. Most often, females are more 'immunocompetent' than males. The underlying causes are explained by either the role of immunosuppressive substances, such as testosterone, or by fundamental differences in male and female life histories. Here, we investigate some of the main predictions of...
متن کاملSexual dimorphism and human enhancement.
Robert Sparrow argues that because of women's longer life expectancy philosophers who advocate the genetic modification of human beings to enhance welfare rather than merely supply therapy are committed to favouring the selection of only female embryos, an implication he deems sufficiently implausible to discredit their position. If Sparrow's argument succeeds, then philosophers who advocate bi...
متن کاملAging and Sexual Dimorphism in Aborigines from Chubut (argentina)
The aim of this work was to assess the morphological variation and sexual dimorphism associated to aging processes in the Tehuelche community of El Chalía (Chubut, Argentina). A cross-sectional anthropometric study was carried on forty-three individuals of both sexes, divided by age groups: adults (from 20 to 60 years old) and seniles (from 61 to 80 years old).

متن کاملSexual dimorphism in the vertebrate nervous system.
Many sex differences in the structure of vertebrate nervous systems have been discovered in the past twenty years. The recency of these discoveries is not due to any technological advance; indeed, many of the most interesting of these neural sexual dimorphisms can be detected with nineteenth century methods. Nor can there be much doubt that when the behavior of the sexes differs markedly, there...
متن کاملSexual dimorphism in the renin-angiotensin system in aging spontaneously hypertensive rats.
In young adult spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR), mean arterial pressure (MAP) is higher in males than in females and inhibition of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) eliminates this sex difference. After cessation of estrous cycling in female SHR, MAP is similar to that in male SHR. The purpose of this study was to determine the role of the RAS in maintenance of hypertension in aging male ...
