Βeta-adrenergic receptors and opposition of evoked sympathetic vasoconstriction: Effects of sex and exercise training
DownloadFall 2016
Stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system evokes the release of neurotransmitters and produces vasoconstriction that is primarily mediated by the binding of norepinephrine (NE) to alpha-adrenergic receptors. However, NE may also bind to beta (β)-adrenergic receptors and produce vasodilation...

Fall 2022
Contraction-mediated inhibition of sympathetic vasoconstriction (sympatholysis) is enhanced in female compared with male rats. Acute pharmacological blockade of nitric oxide (NO) production abolished the sex difference in sympatholysis, indicating that NO-mediated sympatholysis is elevated in...

This presentation will cover the basics of glycobiology and why it is important that people study this field in the years to come. We will go into how glycan modification impacts the body, and why various factors must be taken into account when exclusively controlling for sex differences. The...

Does methylation of the brain promoter region of Cyp19 impact the development of sex-typical psychological traits?
DownloadFall 2017
While humans demonstrate sexually differentiated psychological and behavioural traits, such as aggression, there is a vast amount of within-sex variation for these traits. Further, the effect size of these sex differences is relatively small and there is a large amount of overlap between males...

Risk-taking attitides and their association with process and outcomes of cardiac care: a cohort study
Download2009
Ghali, W.A., Knudtson, M.L., King, K.M., Norris, C.M.
Background: Prior research reveals that processes and outcomes of cardiac care differ across sociodemographic strata. One potential contributing factor to such differences is the personality traits of individuals within these strata. We examined the association between risk-taking attitudes and...

Fall 2016
Apolipoprotein E (APOE) ɛ4 and Clusterin (CLU) C alleles are risk factors for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and preclinical cognitive and memory decline in older adults. We investigated whether memory resilience to genetic risk (i.e., Apolipoprotein E [APOE] ɛ4, Clusterin [CLU] CC, and a high additive...
