Background. There is a need for assessing personalized nutritional status of the bio elements magnesium (Mg) and calcium (Ca). Objective. We studied Mg Ca by analyzing their concentrations frequency distribution in long-term biological indicator tissue hair. Design. Hair were analyzed 1073 apparently healthy white adult Caucasians both sexes [734 women (♀) 339 men (♂)] with ICP MS. The concentr...

Sex is one of the first features to be diagnosed in human identification, composing, with age, ancestry and stature, so called “big four”. Aim: The present study aimed metrically analyze sexual dimorphism skulls known age sex from Rio Grande do Sul – Brazil. Methods: This was a crosssectional metrical analysis, which used sample comprised 209 (106 male 103 female) older than 22 years old at tim...

Introduction The purpose of this study was to determine the effect resistance exercise (RE)-induced hormonal changes on intramuscular cytokine gene expression after muscle damage in untrained men and women. Methods Men (n = 8, 22 ± 3 yr) women 19 1 completed two sessions 80 unilateral maximal eccentric knee extensions followed by either an upper body RE bout (EX) or a time-matched period (CON)....

People can be classified as attracted to both sexes, to men, to women, or to neither sex, and also as instrumental-expressive, instrumental, expressive, or non-instrumental-expressive. The two hypotheses tested herein are, on the one hand, the relative independence between these two typologies and, on the other, the close relation between sexual dimorphism and sexual attraction, in contrast to ...

Sexually dimorphic sensory systems are common in Hymenoptera and are considered to result from sex-specific selection pressures. An extreme example of sensory dimorphism is found in the solitary bee tribe Eucerini. Males of long-horned bees bear antennae that exceed body length. This study investigated the pronounced sexual dimorphism of the peripheral olfactory system and its representation in...

Imposex, male secondary sexual characteristics in female snails, is a morphological indicator of sub-lethal exposure to organotin compounds. The relation between imposex and behavioral responses to sex pheromones was studied. Responses of snails to sex specific pheromones were determined in laboratory assays. Females and males from a low imposex site and females, imposex females and males from ...

Genetic correlations between the sexes can constrain the evolution of sexual dimorphism and be difficult to alter, because traits common to both sexes share the same genetic underpinnings. We tested whether artificial correlational selection favoring specific combinations of male and female traits within families could change the strength of a very high between-sex genetic correlation for flowe...
