Cardiac morphology and function in senescent rats: gender-related differences.
OBJECTIVES We sought to better understand the effects of aging and gender on left ventricular (LV) structure and function. BACKGROUND Cardiovascular disease in older persons is associated with increased mortality and morbidity. The influence of gender on age-related cardiac changes is incompletely characterized. METHODS We studied 34 senescent, male and female, normotensive Fischer rats wit...
متن کاملThyroid function and aging: gender-related differences.
The effects of aging on human or animal thyroid function are still not well defined. We evaluated some aspects of thyroid function during aging using an animal model (young and old Dutch-Miranda rats). In old rats of both genders, serum thyroxine (T4) decreased but serum thyrotrophin (TSH) remained unaltered, suggesting a disturbance in the pituitary-thyroid feedback mechanism during aging. Ser...
متن کاملGender-related differences in the morphology of the lacrimal gland.
Previous research has demonstrated that distinct, gender-related differences exist in the morphology of the rat lacrimal gland. The purpose of the present study was to determine whether this sexual dimorphism is unique to the rat, or extends as well to other species. Lacrimal glands were collected from adult male and female rats, mice, guinea pigs, rabbits and humans (biopsies). Tissues were pr...
متن کاملAge-Related Differences in Hearing Function and Cochlear Morphology between Male and Female Fischer 344 Rats
Fischer 344 (F344) rats represent a strain that is frequently used as a model for fast aging. In this study, we systematically compare the hearing function during aging in male and female F344 rats, by recording auditory brainstem responses (ABRs) and distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAEs). In addition to this, the functional parameters are correlated with the cochlear histology. The...
متن کاملGender Differences in Age-Related Changes in Cardiac Autonomic Nervous Function
Ageing is associated with changes in cardiac autonomic control as measured by Heart Rate Variability (HRV). Not many studies have explored the influence of gender on age-related changes in cardiac autonomic regulation. This study evaluated the gender differences in age-associated changes in cardiac autonomic nervous activity by assessing HRV using frequency domain analysis of short-term station...
