Did you know? 🐟 By just 2.5 months old, Siberian sturgeon show sex-specific gene activity in their gonads: Females light up estrogen-response genes, while males activate new testis candidates, even without male hormone genes in play! #sabv #ossd #sexdifferences link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Did you know? “Throwing like a girl” isn’t biology. Fausto-Sterling found that infants who start ball play earlier (often boys) practice from stable positions and throw farther sooner. Timing and practice, not sex, shape throwing skill. #SABV #OSSD #sexdifferences

Did you know female brains have stronger norepinephrine projections from locus coeruleus to prefrontal cortex? BUT prefrontal neurons are less sensitive to signaling than in males! This study found sex differences in this stress and decision-making circuitry. #sabv #ossd #sexdifferences #humanhealth
A mother's diet can leave lasting epigenetic fingerprints on her offspring's liver, altering how genes are expressed, long after the young eat healthy again. These changes can disrupt metabolism sex-specifically, potentially raising lifelong risk for fatty liver disease. #sabv #ossd #sexdifferences
Giving female rats testosterone at male-like levels helped them bounce back faster after surgery, but it didn't actually make them experience less pain. Testosterone boosted recovery, not pain resistance! #sabv #ossd #sexdifferences #humanhealth www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Did you know even when men and women push themselves to the exact same level of exhaustion, their bodies use unique molecular strategies to process fat? Scientists found several blood molecules that move in opposite directions between sexes! #sabv #ossd #sexdifferences #humanhealth
Did you know, although women are diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease more than men, cortical thickness decline with age is greater in men, suggesting other factors than sex and age mediate this difference? www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... #sabv #ossd #sexdifferences #humanhealth #alzheimersdisease
Did you know that the neural circuitry most impacted by chronic alcohol exposure is sex-specific? onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... #sabv #ossd #sexdifferences #humanhealth #memory
