A search of a 35-kilobase region of the human Y chromosome necessary for male sex
determination has resulted in the identification of a new gene. This gene is conserved and Y-…

Mutation analyses of patients with campomelic dysplasia, a bone dysmorphology and XY
sex reversal syndrome, indicate that the SRY-related gene SOX9 is involved in both skeletal …

THE testis-determining factor gene (TDF) lies on the Y chromosome and is responsible for
initiating male sex determination. SRY is a gene located in the sex-determining region of the …

Blood levels of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) are considered biomarkers of status.
Alpha-linolenic acid, ALA, the plant omega-3, is the dietary precursor for the long-chain omega-3 …

Sex in birds is chromosomally based, as in mammals, but the sex chromosomes are different
and the mechanism of avian sex determination has been a long-standing mystery 1 , 2 , 3 . …

Both n−6 and n−3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) are recognized as essential nutrients
in the human diet, yet reliable data on population intakes are limited. The aim of the present …

In this study of 20 moderately to severely depressed patients, diagnosed using current
research diagnostic criteria and excluding known bipolar affective disorder and reactive …

Current dietary recommendations advise reducing the intake of saturated fatty acids (SFAs)
to reduce coronary heart disease (CHD) risk, but recent findings question the role of SFAs. …

Background: Flavonoids may be partly responsible for some health benefits, including
antiinflammatory action and a decreased tendency for the blood to clot. An acute dose of flavanols …

Objective to investigate whether diets differing in fat content alter the gut microbiota and faecal
metabolomic profiles, and to determine their relationship with cardiometabolic risk factors …
