“Because people who have depression are at greater risk for cardiovascular disease, researchers conducted a case-control study involving 86 inpatients with depression but without cardiovascular disease and 80 age- and sex-matched healthy outpatients.”

“Some of these effects may be due to compounds commonly associated with plastic manufacturing, such as bisphenol A, or BPA, phthalates, and heavy metals, that are present in and on microplastics. This study demonstrates that even brief exposure to plastic particles is sufficient to alter sex hormones and promote inflammation in female rats.”

“GrimAge was built in two stages. First, the authors developed DNAm surrogates for plasma proteins and smoking pack-years. Then they combined selected DNAm protein surrogates, DNAm smoking pack-years, chronological age, and sex into a predictor of time-to-death.”

“In contrast, males only show increased lifespan at the two higher doses, a finding that aligns with other research suggesting that females benefit more from lifespan extension treatments. However, scientists don't fully understand the mechanisms behind these sex-specific differences.”

“The frequency of administration played a role in the response to supplementation. However, the authors of the analysis conceded that several factors might influence these findings, including age, sex, and ethnicity of study participants.”

“One study used the Hannum clock to investigate associations between DNAm age (where "m" represents methylation) and chronological age in African Americans and whites and to identify links between race, poverty, sex, and epigenetic age acceleration.”

“The mice also exhibited less hind-limb clasping, a marker of neurological damage. It is important to note that the methods used in these studies varied according to the strain and sex of mice used, the drug initiation time, and the length of exposure.”

“A meta-analysis of 51 studies found lower levels of arachidonic acid (an omega-6 fatty acid) and DHA as a percentage of plasma lipid in men compared to women, suggesting that gender-specific differences occur in long-chain fatty acid metabolism, possibly modulated by sex hormones.”

“Sleep efficiency improved from roughly 91.5% on nights without sexual activity to about 93% when orgasm occurred. Participants spent about 7 fewer minutes awake during the night following sex (solo or partnered).”

“"Although those other lifestyle choices play a role, this study unequivocally demonstrates that visceral adiposity is causally linked to intestinal cancer." There was a sex-specific effect: > The researchers then subdivided the groups by gender.”
