Gender has an important influence on blood pressure, with premenopausal women having a lower arterial blood pressure than age-matched men. Compared with premenopausal women, postmenopausal women have higher blood pressures, suggesting that ovarian hormones may modulate blood pressure. However, whether sex hormones are responsible for the observed gender-associated differences in arterial blood ...

Sex differences in attachment styles have been found in adulthood, emerge as early as middle childhood, and can be sizable when described at the appropriate level of analysis. However, they have received relatively little attention in mainstream attachment research. Here I review the evidence of sex differences in attachment, including what is currently known about developmental patterns and cr...

Development of the female organism from birth to maturation and extinction of its functions is usually divided into separate periods, which are characterized by certain morphological and functional features. In any of these periods, obesity can have an adverse effect on the formation, development and function of the reproductive system.

In a previous comnmnication (4) we reported that administration of estrogen, androgen or gonadotropins intensified and ~idCclcratcd the development of the cystic and neoplasatiC hepatic lesions induced in Sherman rats by 2-acctaminofluorcne. The purpose of the present report is to review the incidence and distribution of all neoplastic and other significant lesions in a larger series of animals...

Involutional changes in the androgenic activity of the male body occur gradually and exhibit high intraand interpopulational differentiation. These differences make quantitative description of physiological ageing of the male endocrine system considerably difficult. There are also no commonly accepted normal levels for gonadotropin and sex hormone. In the present study the authors have made an ...

Several studies (1–4) have reported that the relative risk of cancer in smokers, compared with nonsmokers, is greater in women than in men. These results have led to speculations about the biologic mechanisms underlying this difference, such as a molecular interaction between sex hormones and tobacco carcinogens. The news media have echoed widely such results, perhaps because anything suggestin...

objective: there are several factors, like environmental agents, neurotrophic factors, serotonin and some hormones such as estrogen, affecting neurogenesis and neural differentiation. regarding to importance of proliferation and regeneration in central nervous system, and a progressive increase in neurodegenerative diseases, cell therapy is an attractive approach in neuroscience. the aim of the...
