A surprising diversity of mechanisms controls sex determination of vertebrate organisms, even among closely related species. Both genetic and temperature-dependent systems of sex determination have been described in teleost fish. In the common zebrafish model organism, heteromorphic sex chromosomes are not observed, and the potential role of a genetic component of sex determination remains larg...
Experiments in animals leave no doubt that androgens, including testosterone, produced by the testes in fetal and/or neonatal life act on the brain to induce sex differences in neural structure and function. In this article, we argue that prenatal and neonatal testosterone exposure are strong candidates for having a causal role in sexual dimorphism in human behaviour, including social development.
Non-invasive prenatal determination of fetal sex offers a promising alternative to invasive diagnosis of X-linked diseases and fetal disorders of ambiguous genitalia (1–4). Using free-fetal DNA (ffDNA) from maternal plasma (5) and different detection systems for Y chromosome (6–9), researchers achieved high diagnostic accuracy in fetal sex prediction during the first trimester of pregnancy with...
In reptiles, sex-determining mechanisms have evolved repeatedly and reversibly between genotypic and temperature-dependent sex determination. The gene Dmrt1 directs male determination in chicken (and presumably other birds), and regulates sex differentiation in animals as distantly related as fruit flies, nematodes and humans. Here, we show a consistent molecular difference in Dmrt1 between rep...
The sex of a reptile [6] embryo partly results from the production of sex hormones [7] during development, and one such process to produce those hormones [8] depends on temperature of the embryo's environment. The production of sex hormones [7] can result solely from genetics or from genetics in combination with the influence of environmental factors. In genotypic sex determination [9], also ca...
Some studies suggest that fetal sex plays a role in maternal physiological processes during pregnancy including glycemic control, blood pressure, and cortisol regulation. However, data examining fetal sex-specific differences in maternal immune parameters is lacking. In the current study, serum levels of interleukin(IL)-6, IL-8, and tumor necrosis factor(TNF)-α as well as LPS-stimulated product...
