MeSH headings : Male; Humans; Female; Gastrointestinal Tract; Intestine, Small; Colon
topics (OpenAlex): Genetic and phenotypic traits in livestock; Diet and metabolism studies; Agriculture Sustainability and Environmental Impact
TL;DR: The results show that morphological variation in the GI tract is associated with each organ’s role in food processing and supports the female canalization hypothesis, specifically, increased female investment in the digestion and absorption of lipids. (via Semantic Scholar)
