Sex differences in sex chromosome gene expression in mouse brain

Study of sex differences in the expression of β-actin gene in various tissues of the rat

Introduction: Beta-actin is a housekeeping gene, which is used as an internal standard in various biological studies. Recently, it was reported that the expression of commonly used housekeeping genes including ß–actin changes in disease states or under certain experimental conditions. Based on the reports about the effects of sex hormones on the expression of the ß- actin gene, in this study...

Sex Differences Sex Chromosome Complement Contributes to Sex Differences in Bradycardic Baroreflex Response

To investigate whether sex chromosome complement modulates bradycardic baroreflex response and contributes to the angiotensin II–bradycardic baroreflex sex differences, we used the four core genotype mouse model in which the effect of gonadal sex and sex chromosome complement is dissociated, allowing comparisons of sexually dimorphic traits among XX and XY females, as well as in XX and XY males...

Karyotype and Sex-Chromosome Polymorphism in Nesokia indica, from Iran

Sex-specific differences in expression of histone demethylases Utx and Uty in mouse brain and neurons.

Although X inactivation is thought to balance gene expression between the sexes, some genes escape inactivation, potentially contributing to differences between males and females. Utx (ubiquitously transcribed tetratricopeptide repeat gene on X chromosome) is an escapee gene that encodes a demethylase specific for lysine 27 of histone H3, a mark of repressed chromatin. We found Utx to be expres...
