| T1 |
89-170 |
DRI_Outcome |
denotes |
Respiratory reflexes and tolerance to hypoxia show significant sexual dimorphism. |
| T2 |
171-248 |
DRI_Background |
denotes |
However, the data supporting this notion originates exclusively from mammals. |
| T3 |
249-441 |
DRI_Approach |
denotes |
To determine whether this concept is limited to this group of vertebrates, we examined the sex-specific response to acute hypoxia in an adult reduced brainstem preparation from Xenopus laevis. |
| T4 |
442-630 |
DRI_Outcome |
denotes |
Within the first 5min of exposure to hypoxic aCSF (98% N2/2% CO2), recordings of respiratory-related activity show a stronger increase in fictive breathing frequency in males than females. |
| T5 |
631-772 |
DRI_Approach |
denotes |
This initial response was followed by a decrease in respiratory-related activity; this depression occurred 6min sooner in males than females. |
| T6 |
773-981 |
DRI_Background |
denotes |
These results represent new evidences of sexual dimorphism in respiratory control in amphibians and provide potential insight in understanding the homology with other groups of vertebrates, including mammals. |
