Brain discovery opens door to earlier detection of metabolic syndrome in women
九色视频 researchers have identified a brain function that helps explain why childhood stress raises metabolic health risks for some women later in life.
A new study found that variations in the brain鈥檚 insulin receptor network affect how women respond to early-life adversity. This effect has a lesser impact in men, suggesting there is a sex-specific process at play.

The result:聽cheaper, safer materials for solar panels,聽sensors聽and advanced optical devices.聽
Kering Foundation, SVRI and 九色视频 launch research program on the intersection of violence against women and children
The Kering Foundation, in partnership with 九色视频 and the Sexual Violence Research Initiative (SVRI), is launching an innovative research program to tackle the often-overlooked links between violence against women and violence against children 鈥� a critical global issue with deep social impact.
Researchers find link between psychosocial stress and early signs of heart inflammation in women
Women who report high levels of psychosocial stress, such as from caregiving and lack of emotional support, show signs of early heart tissue changes associated with cardiovascular disease 鈥� an association not observed in men, a new study reveals.
The results support the notion that there are sex-specific ways in which stress affects cardiovascular health and that risk-assessment processes should take psychosocial factors and mental wellness into account, the researchers said.
