Gender Specific Behavior Traced To Hormone-Controlled Genes In The Brain
Men and women may be equals, but they often behave differently when it comes to sex and parenting. Now a study of the differences between the brains of male and female mice in the Cell Press journal Cell provides insight into how our own brains might be programmed for these stereotypically different behaviors. The new evidence shows that the sex hormones - testosterone, estrogen, and progesterone - act in a key region of the brain, switching certain genes on and others off...

Nuclear Factor-{kappa}B Activation Contributes to Vascular Endothelial Dysfunction via Oxidative Stress in Overweight/Obese Middle-Aged and Older Humans.
Conclusions-Our findings provide the first direct evidence that NF-kappaB, in part via stimulation of oxidative stress, plays an important role in mediating vascular endothelial dysfunction in overweight and obese middle-aged and older humans.
