PY - 2011 DA - 2011/11/07 TI - Reporting of sex as a variable in cardiovascular studies using cultured cells JO - Biology of Sex Differences SP - 11 VL - 2 IS - 1 AB - Chromosomal complement, including that provided by the sex chromosomes, influences expression of proteins and molecular signaling in every cell. However, less than 50% of the scientific studies published in 2009 using experimental animals reported sex as a biological variable. Because every cell has a sex, we conducted a literature review to determine the extent to which sex is reported as a variable in cardiovascular studies on cultured cells.
