Transcriptional profiling identified 933 sexually dimorphic genes out of the 14 371 protein-coding genes expressed in the three major murine salivary glands: parotid, sublingual, and submandibular.

The sublingual gland displayed a strong male sex bias (94% of sex-enriched genes), while a sex preference was not obvious in the parotid or submandibular glands. ...[more]
