(Oklahoma State University Center for Health Services, 2020-02-28)Background: The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) requires that all residencies participate in research. This growing emphasis on research during residency has made it increasingly important for ... -
Sex and geographic disparities among NIH NSD-A study section members
(Oklahoma State University Center for Health Sciences, 2022-02-18)Gender and geographic bias among the scientific community disproportionately impact the dispersion of tax payer funding for research. Diversity, equity and inclusion representation is crucial for the evolving U.S. population. ... -
Sex differences in blood pressure and renal handling of sodium in mice on a high salt and high fructose diet
(Oklahoma State University Center for Health Sciences, 2022-02-18)Background: High consumption of either fructose or salt can have deleterious consequences on health and consuming high levels of both leads to serious health problems. Research demonstrates that important sex differences ... -
Sex differences in protein excretion in mice consuming high protein diet
(Oklahoma State University Center for Health Sciences, 2022-02-18)Background: Normally, the renal excretion of protein (or proteinuria) is absent or very small. Ingesting high-protein diets can elevate proteinuria and in the long term, increase the work on the kidney by increasing ... -
