Is there a viability-vulnerability tradeoff? Sex differences in fetal programming.
OBJECTIVE In this paper we evaluate the evidence for sex differences in fetal programming within the context of the proposed viability-vulnerability tradeoff. METHODS We briefly review the literature on the factors contributing to primary and secondary sex ratios. Sex differences in fetal programming are assessed by summarizing previously published sex difference findings from our group (6 st...
متن کاملFetal testosterone and sex differences.
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.

Is a pro-growth strategy always the best pro-poor strategy? To address this issue, this paper provides an empirical evaluation of the impact of a series of pro-growth policies on inequality and headcount poverty. We rely on a large macroeconomic data set and estimate dynamic panel models that allow us to differentiate between the shortand longrun impacts of the policies under consideration on g...

متن کاملIs there A Role for Alpha-Linolenic Acid in the Fetal Programming of Health?
The role of ω3 alpha linolenic acid (ALA) in the maternal diet during pregnancy and lactation, and its effect on the prevention of disease and programming of health in offspring, is largely unknown. Compared to ALA, ω3 docosahexaenoic (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic (EPA) acids have been more widely researched due to their direct implication in fetal neural development. In this literature search we ...
