Aging: Manipulating Sex Differences
The life histories of animals are marked by two pervasive characteristics — nearly all animals reproduce sexually, and virtually all exhibit the hallmarks of physiological deterioration (i.e. senescence) with advancing age. While some animal species are hermaphroditic, many — including ourselves — are characterized by distinct sexual entities (gonochorism); individuals are either male or female...
متن کاملSex differences in human gregariousness
Research on human sociality rarely includes kinship, social structure, sex, and familiarity, even though these variables influence sociality in non-human primates. However, cross-cultural ethnographic and observational studies with humans indicate that, beginning after age 5 years, males and females form differing social structures with unrelated individuals in a community. Specifically, compar...
متن کاملInfluence of aging on sex differences in muscle fatigability.
The purpose of this study was to compare time to task failure for a sustained isometric contraction performed at a submaximal intensity with elbow flexor muscles by young and old men and women. Twenty-seven young (14 men and 13 women, 18-35 yr) and 18 old (10 men and 8 women, 65-80 yr) adults sustained an isometric contraction at 20% of maximal voluntary contraction torque until target torque c...
متن کاملSex differences with aging in the fatigability of dynamic contractions.
This study determined the sex difference with aging in fatigability of the elbow flexor muscles during a dynamic fatiguing task, and explored the associated mechanisms. We compared fatigability of the elbow flexor muscles in 18 young (20.2 ± 1 years: 9 men) and 36 old adults (73.5 ± 1 years: 16 men) during and in recovery from repeated dynamic contractions (~60°/s) with a load equivalent to 20%...
متن کاملSex differences in aging of the human frontal and temporal lobes.
This study investigated effects of age and sex on regional brain structure in humans, focusing on the frontal and temporal lobes. Hemispheric volumes were obtained from magnetic resonance images (MRIs) of 96 young (53 men, 43 women; aged 18-40 years) and 34 older (17 men, 17 women; aged 41-80) healthy volunteers. Images (5 mm axial spin-echo, repetition time of 3000 msec and echo times of 30 an...
