Does selective ablation of glucocorticoid receptors in the noradrenergic system affect evening corticosterone levels in a sex-dependent manner?
Our results provide evidence of the involvement of the noradrenergic system in the regulation of the sexually dimorphic circadian activity of the HPA axis.
Significant associations of common blood platelet measurements are observed with sex and cardiovascular risk factors, namely smoking and lipids. Research is warranted to confirm these relationships in other cohorts, evaluate differences by ethnicity, and examine longitudinal effects on disease risk.
