Sex-specific effects of intensity and dose of physical activity on BOLD-fMRI cerebrovascular reactivity and cerebral pulsatility

Author(s): Potvin-Jutras Z; Intzandt B; Mohammadi H; Liu P; Chen JJ; Gauthier CJ;

Cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR) and cerebral pulsatility (CP) are important indicators of cerebrovascular health, which are associated with physical activity (PA). While sex differences influence the impact of PA on cerebrovascular health, sex-specific effects of PA intensity and dose on CP and CVR remains unknown. This study aimed to evaluate the sex-sp ...

Sex differences in the metabolism of glucose and fatty acids by adipose tissue and skeletal muscle in humans

Author(s): Costa DN; Santosa S; Jensen MD;

Adult males and females have markedly different body composition, energy expenditure, and have different degrees of risk for metabolic diseases. A major aspect of metabolic regulation involves the appropriate storage and disposal of glucose and fatty acids. The use of sophisticated calorimetry, tracer, and imaging techniques have provided insight into the ...

Comprehensive Analysis of Age- and Sex-Related Expression of the Chaperone Protein Sigma-1R in the Mouse Brain

Author(s): Tarmoun K; Lachance V; Le Corvec V; Bélanger SM; Beaucaire G; Kourrich S;

Sigma-1R (S1R) is a ubiquitously distributed protein highly expressed in the brain and liver. It acts as a ligand-inducible chaperone protein localized at the endoplasmic reticulum. S1R participates in several signaling pathways that oversee diverse cellular and neurological functions, such as calcium and proteome homeostasis, neuronal activity, memory, a ...

The lifelong orgasm gap: exploring age's impact on orgasm rates

Author(s): Gesselman AN; Bennett-Brown M; Dubé S; Kaufman EM; Campbell JT; Garcia JR;

Background: Research demonstrates significant gender- and sexual orientation-based differences in orgasm rates from sexual intercourse; however, this "orgasm gap" has not been studied with respect to age. Aim: The study sought to examine age-related disparities in orgasm rates from sexual intercourse by gender and sexual orientation. Methods: A survey s ...

Acute ethanol disrupts conditioned inhibition in the male rat

Author(s): Germé K; Pfaus JG;

Rationale: Alcohol can disrupt conditioned sexual inhibition (CSI) established by first-order conditioning in male rats. CSI can also be induced using second-order conditioning, during which male rats are trained to associate a neutral odor with a nonreceptive female. As a result, when given access to two receptive females (one scented and one unscented) ...

Psychometric Properties of a French Version of the Perceived Motor Competence in Childhood Questionnaire

Author(s): Maïano C; Morin AJS; April J; Tietjens M; St-Jean C; Gagnon C; Dreiskämper D; Aimé A;

In this study, we examined the psychometric properties of a French version of the Perceived Motor Competence in Childhood (PMC-C) questionnaire. The participants were 219 French-speaking children (aged 5-12 years), recruited from elementary schools in the Canadian Province of Quebec. Results supported the validity and reliability of a second-order confirm ...
