Example sentences for: dimorphic
How can you use “dimorphic” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
In a previous study we observed that the coadministration of SY with EtOH to pregnant dams prevented the EtOH-induced deficits in social recognition observed in the EtOH-exposed offspring [ 20 ] . Social memory in rats is a sexually dimorphic behavior that requires adequate levels of perinatal and neonatal androgen activity.
Because phytoestrogens are present in virtually all natural-ingredient rodent diets that use soy as a source of protein [ 36 38 ] , and since these compounds are endocrine-active [ 27 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 ] , it is important to determine whether the amounts present in rodent diets are sufficient to affect sexually dimorphic spatial ability.
Within the vertebrates, there are several mechanisms that account for sexually dimorphic development.
In tasks requiring the use of spatial skills, a sexually dimorphic difference has been consistently demonstrated in which males reliably outperform females [ 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 ] . This sex difference is most likely due to the presence of testosterone or more likely its metabolite estradiol, in brain [ 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 ] . Because phytoestrogens have the ability to bind estrogen receptors and alter many of the biological responses that are evoked by physiological estrogens [ 25 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 ] , we determined phytoestrogens affects on VSM in adult rats.
Both cell adhesion and connective tissue remodeling are indispensable for normal development and maintenance of tissue integrity [ 13 14 15 ] . The differential expression of proteoglycans, collagens and cell adhesion molecules (for example cadherin 13) might be involved in genital morphogenesis and later stability of sexually dimorphic traits of the external genitalia.
