Abstract:

Calcific aortic valve stenosis (CAVS) is the most common form of heart valve disease and affects about 3% of the population. Its prevalence increases with age, without a causal relation between ageing and CAVS development. To date, CAVS is a slow, progressive, multifactorial disorder considered to be actively driven by several cellular and molecular processes. Its natural history consists of a long clinically silent phase of non-uniform leaflet thickening with or without minimal calcification, known as aortic valve sclerosis (AVSc), without significant obstruction of blood flow, followed by th

Ahmad, Abdulla A. "Sex differences in perivascular adipose tissue-dependent vascular control in the porcine coronary artery." Thesis, University of Nottingham, 2018. http://eprints.nottingham.ac.uk/51366/.

Abstract:

Research during the past decade has highlighted the functional role of perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) in regulating the contractility of the underlying vascular smooth muscle cell layer. However, the mechanisms underlying these observations are poorly understood. As a sexual dimorphism has been identified in the regulation of vascular tone, the aim of this thesis was to determine whether there are sex differences in PVAT-mediated regulation of the porcine coronary arterial (PCA) tone. In the presence of adherent PVAT, which was stored overnight at 4Co, contractions to the thromboxane mimet

Abstract:

Das Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit war die Identifizierung von Geschlechterunterschieden (GU) in der Expression von miRNAs im späten Stadium der Myokardhypertrophie, sowie der möglichen Rolle von ERbeta bei der Regulierung dieser GU. Unsere früheren Studien identifizierten ERβ als determinierenden Faktor für die beobachteten GU bei Druckbelastung. Unter anderem führte eine Deletion des ERbeta zur Aufhebung der zuvor beobachteten GU auf physiologischer und fibrotischer Ebene, sowie in der Genexpression. In dieser Studie wurden insgesamt 30 miRNAs mit Geschlechter- und/oder Geschlecht*Operation

Abstract:

Background: To determine the role of muscle mass in sex-dependent differences in power output during flywheel resistance training (FRT). Methods: Twenty recreationally active (≥ 2 resistance exercise bouts per week), subjects (10 M, 10 F) completed 2 bouts of resistance exercise using a ﬂywheel resistance training (FRT) device (Exxentric kbox 4 Pro) separated by at least one week. Each session consisted of 3 sets of 4 exercises (squat, bent-over row, Romanian deadlift, and biceps curl) with varying moments of inertia (0.050, 0.075, and 0.100 kg/m2, respectively) in random order.

Abstract:

Despite the importance of the spike jump in volleyball and the high number of female athletes at high level, movement analyses of the volleyball spike jump were mainly conducted in male players. Potential sex-dependent differences were marginally considered in the scientific literature and practical training. The few studies that tackled this problem can, due to limitations, only hint on the existence of sex differences in essential movement characteristics. Investigations on factors that determine performance in females are also lacking; frequently, performance determinants found in males

Abstract:

Sexually selected ornaments are among the most spectacular traits in nature. Indeed, the extreme costs associated with producing sexual traits seem to play a crucial role in their evolution by enforcing honest levels of advertisement: only males with high levels of acquired resources (or high ‘condition’, as it is known in the literature) can afford to produce extravagant signals, a phenomenon which maintains signal reliability in a constant environment. In my thesis I examine many implications of this condition-dependent model of ornament and preference evolution for variation in age-dependen

Abstract:

Multiple interactions between dopamine (DA), glutamate, and nitric oxide (NO) in mesolimbic and corticostriatal circuits suggest that NO may play a critical role in cocaine-induced behavioral and neural plasticity. Clinical and preclinical studies have revealed that females and adolescents display unique vulnerabilities to the behavioral and neurochemical effects of cocaine as a result of sex-dependent and ontogeny-dependent differences in dopaminergic systems. Thus, my research objectives were to investigate the contributions of the neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) gene, ontogeny, and g

Abstract:

The topic of badgers in the UK is often a contentious one, dividing opinions and sparking political debate. On one hand, badgers represent an important part of the British ecosystem but on the other a wildlife reservoir of disease implicated in the transmission of bovine tuberculosis (TB) to livestock in the UK. This has prompted strong interest in their population dynamics and epidemiology. Using data from a long-term study of a naturally infected badger population in Woodchester Park, Gloucestershire, this thesis explores a range of capture-mark-recapture (CMR) models to further understand d

Abstract:

La plasticité à court-terme des synapses GABAergiques dans la lamina II de la moelle épinière est essentielle pour le traitement des messages nociceptifs. Cette plasticité diffère selon le type de neurone postsynaptique, excitateur ou inhibiteur. Nos résultats indiquent une modulation liée au sexe de la transmission synaptique GABAergique, et donc une modification de la plasticité des synapses GABAergiques, notamment en réponse à une inflammation périphérique aiguë. Ces modulations soulignent l'importance de la balance entre l’inhibition et l’excitation dans le traitement des informations noci

Abstract:

Background and Aims: Sex differences have been observed in several cardiovascular diseases, in terms of mortality and morbidity. Female patients experience worse clinical outcomes than their male counterparts. Although multiple mechanisms may be involved, sex differences in vascular reactivity of large and small blood vessels have not been investigated. This thesis aims to assess sex-dependent difference in vasoconstrictor responses of human vessels isolated from a variety of vascular beds from older patients (mean age 68 years) with and without existing coronary artery disease.

Abstract:

Males have greater hypertension prevalence and progression than females suggesting sex differences in the underlying mechanisms. This study investigates the intrarenal renin-angiotensin system (RAS) to resolve the hypothesis that sexual dimorphism in the responses of intrarenal angiotensinogen (AGT) and renin synthesized in the collecting ducts (CD renin) exacerbate hypertension in male more than female Sprague-Dawley rats during chronic Angiotensin II infusion (Ang II) (80 ng/min). Additionally, high salt (HS) diet (8% NaCl) was administered to assess sex differences in these RAS components r

Abstract:

Arctic Cod, Boreogadus saida (Lepechin 1774) occur throughout the circumpolar north at all levels of the water column depending on their life history stage, the time of day, the season, and their activity. Arctic Cod are the most abundant fish species in the Canadian Beaufort Sea (CBS) ecosystem, and are an important link in the flow of energy within the food web. This study examined differences in energy acquisition and usage in Arctic Cod among three depth zones in the CBS (from 15-800m) by examining stomach contents and physiological indicators, taking into account sex, age and body size.

Abstract:

abstract: The present series of studies examined whether a novel implementation of an intermittent restraint (IR) chronic stress paradigm could be used to investigate hippocampal-dependent spatial ability in both sexes. In experiments 1 and 2, Sprague- Dawley male rats were used to identify the optimal IR parameters to assess spatial ability. For IR, rats were restrained for 2 or 6hrs/day (IR2, IR6, respectively) for five days and then given two days off, a process that was repeated for three weeks and compared to rats restrained for 6hrs/d for each day (DR6) and non-stressed controls (CON).
