Glucoregulatory Hormones

Adult female elephant seals ( Mirounga angustirostris) combine long-term fasting with lactation and molting. Glycerol gluconeogenesis has been hypothesized as potentially meeting all of the glucose requirements of the seals during these fasts. To test this hypothesis, a primed constant infusion of [2-14C]glycerol was administered to 10 ten adult female elephant seals at 5 and 21–22 days postpartum and to 10 additional adult females immediately after the molt. Glycerol kinetics, rates of lipolysis, and the contribution of glycerol to glucose production were determined for each period. Plasma metabolite levels as well as insulin, glucagon, and cortisol were also measured. Glycerol rate of appearance was not significantly correlated with mass ( P = 0.14, r2 = 0.33) but was significantly related to the percentage of glucose derived from glycerol ( P < 0.01, r2 = 0.81) during late lactation. The contribution of glycerol to glucose production was <3% during each fasting period, suggesting a lower contribution to gluconeogenesis than is observed in other long-term fasting mammals. Because of a high rate of endogenous glucose production in fasting elephant seals, it is likely that glycerol gluconeogenesis still makes a substantial contribution to the substrate needs of glucose-dependent tissues. The lack of a relationship between glucoregulatory hormones and glycerol kinetics, glycerol gluconeogenesis, and metabolites supports the proposition that fasting elephant seals do not conform to the traditional insulin-glucagon model of substrate metabolism.

Estrogenic Regulation

Neurogenesis in the hippocampus exists across a number of species, including humans. Steroid hormones, such as estrogens, modulate neurogenesis dependent on age, reproductive experience and sex. Findings are discussed in the chapter with reference to how neurogenesis in the hippocampus is related to learning and memory. Natural fluctuations in ovarian hormones or removal of ovaries modulate neurogenesis in the short term but not in the long term. Maternal experience has long-lasting effects on neurogenesis in the hippocampus. Acute estrogens increase proliferation in adult female rodents, but influence survival of new neurons dependent on a number of factors including sex, cognitive training, type of estrogen, and whether or not cells were produced under estrogens. This chapter outlines findings indicating that estrogens can be strong modulators of adult hippocampal neurogenesis, which may have implications for disorders involving hippocampal dysfunction that target women.

Vocal Attractiveness

Previous research found that speakers with more attractive voices receive more favorable evaluations (aka the vocal attractiveness stereotype). But sexual selection theory predicts that, to the extent that men perceive women with higher pitched voices as more attractive, women will be more hostile toward those women because they make more threatening mate rivals. Supporting this hypothesis, Study 1 ( N = 102) showed that female participants higher in trait dominance displayed heightened aggressive cognition after being primed with a romantic (but not a control) feeling and listening to a higher- but not lower-than-average female voice. Study 2 ( N = 111) showed that this heightened aggressive cognition was activated by a long-term but not a short-term mating motive. These findings supported sexual selection theory, challenged the vocal attractiveness stereotype, and suggested a mechanism that helps maintain the honesty of female voice pitch as a mate attraction signal.
