Demographic characteristics were recorded and a standardized questionnaire was completed, documenting sexually transmitted infection symptoms, sexual behavior, previous birth outcomes, relevant obstetric and prenatal histories, and most recent CD4 T cell count.
Given the well documented sexually dimorphic nature of Gh secretion and Gh induced gene expression [ 42, 43], it is probable that the underlying mutation in the HG11 congenic may reside in a gene enhancing Gh induced sex-specific effects.
This difference is attributable to previous models utilising very small selection coefficients, whereas here, we have documented sexually antagonistic selection at the allele and found it to be orders of magnitude stronger than previously assumed.
An emerging exception to this generalisation is the Drosophila melanogaster DDT resistance allele (DDT-R) of the gene Cyp6g1 [ 22], for which we recently documented sexually antagonistic selection on a Canton-S genetic background [ 23].
Some of the language in these documents is sexually explicit.

Of these only dio2 was previously documented as sexually dimorphic in zebrafish brains [ 43, 87].
Only a few studies have been conducted with younger cohorts of children, yet high levels of dissociation were documented among sexually abused preschoolers [ 51, 52].
Phenotypic sexual dimorphism almost certainly reflects differing patterns of gene expression between the sexes, and microarray studies have documented widespread sexually dimorphic gene expression.
These findings have been documented in sexually functional women as well as women with dyspareunia (e.g., Brauer et al., 2006, 2007, 2008; Payne et al., 2007).
