Sex and Internal Secretions

Sex and Internal Secretions: A Survey of Recent Research

The Sex Complex

By the expression sex complex is meant the correlation of all the internal secretions with the reproductive functions, e.g., we have long known that there is a physiological connection between the genital organs and the thymus gland. I)r. Blair Bell gives an excellent account of the functions of the various endocritic glands and of the influence of the secretions on one another, on the body met...

Evaluation of the Effect of Nebulized N-Acetylcysteine on Respiratory Secretions in Mechanically Ventilated Patients: Randomized Clinical Trial

Background: The purpose of our study was to evaluate an inexpensive and available method to reduce mucous impactions in mechanically ventilated patients.Methods: This randomized clinical trial was conducted on 40 mechanically ventilated patients aged 15-90 years. The patients were randomly allocated into two arms; 20 cases and 20 controls. The cases received N-acetylcysteine via their nebulizer...

The Sex-Complex

It is a study of the relationships ?>f the internal secretions to the female characteristics and functions in health and disease. A master mind reveals itself throughout the pages of this monograph. It is perhaps not too much to say that it is an epoch-making book of the time. The great merit of the author lies in the wonderful co-ordination of a mass of original research in the field of intern...

Male accessory sex gland secretions affect oocyte Ca2+ oscillations during in-vitro fertilization in golden hamsters.

To evaluate the effect of male accessory sex gland secretions on Ca2+ oscillations of oocytes, epididymal or ejaculated spermatozoa recovered from uteri were used to inseminate oocytes. Ca2+ oscillations were measured by Fura 2 fluorescence imaging (F340/F380). We showed that although Ca2+ oscillations induced by ejaculated spermatozoa had a pattern similar to those induced by epididymal sperma...
