Background : One of risk factors for increased rate cardiovascular diseases and development menopausal symptoms in perimenopausal/postmenopausal women is reduced estrogen production. Yoga practice improved postmenopausal women. Whether yoga had effect on perinomopausal/postmenopausal was not known.

Previously, we reported that renal active calcium-transporting genes are highly expressed in female mice and suggested that renal calcium-processing genes play a critical role in normal calcium reabsorption in females (Lee GS, Lee KY, Choi KC, Ryu YH, Paik SG, Oh GT, Jeung EB. J Bone Miner Res 22: 1968-1978, 2007). In the current study, we evaluated the differential expression of renal calcium-...

Here we show that female mouse mutants lacking either central serotonergic neurons or serotonin prefer female over male genital odors when given a choice, and displayed increased female-female mounting when presented either with a choice of a ...
