This review discusses sexual dimorphism in arterial stiffening, disease pathology
interactions, and the influence of sex on mechanisms and pathways. Arterial stiffness …

Large elastic arterial stiffening and endothelial dysfunction are phenotypic characteristics of
vascular aging, a major risk factor for age-associated cardiovascular diseases. Compared to …

Context: Low testosterone (T) is associated with prevalent cardiovascular disease (CVD)
and mortality. DHT, a more potent androgen, may also be associated with CVD and …

Male sexual dysfunction is common in chronic kidney disease, particularly in end-stage
renal disease. Historically this cause of considerable morbidity has been under-reported …

Results Prolactin levels increased along with reduced kidney function. Prolactin significantly
