Cardiac protein kinase C-extracellular regulated 1/2 signaling modules differ in both size and distribution between women and men, physiologists report. "Cardiovascular morbidity and mortality increase significantly with advancing age, with proportionally higher rates occurring in aged women when compared to aged men. The signaling alterations responsible for age-related reductions in ischemic stress reserves, particularly in aged women, are poorly understood," wrote J.C.
