Male learners help men with less allergies

Men have long observed that men are less likely to have infections than women, but only by recent studies, explains Dr. Carlo Pergola, Jena University's School of Pharmacology. Sex hormones are the saviors of gentlemen.

Doctor Oliver Verz of Jena University (Germany) said that women often suffer from diseases such as arthritis, low disease (rheumatiism), psoriasis and asthma. It has been known for a long time, but until now it has been known why these diseases are common in women. Many studies have demonstrated that male and female cells respond differently to the causes of inflammation. Therefore, the treatment regimen is not applicable to both sexes. That is what many doctors have not paid attention to properly.

Sex hormones help less men with allergies.

In order to understand the molecular basis of the differences between men and women, medical scientists took the immune cells of both sexes with the activity analysis of the enzymes contained therein, responsible for synthesizing the Anti-inflammatory compound. It turns out that male cells are very different from female cells in the enzyme phospholipazine D has lower activity.

From these data, the researchers concluded that male sex hormones play a key role in regulating immune responses. This can also be used to explain another phenomenon that has been observed: men have less cardiovascular disease.

The researchers also note that this should be taken into account when assessing the effectiveness of new therapies. In clinical studies, male patients are more likely than female patients to participate. Therefore, it is wrong to base only on the results on men to draw treatment regimens for women.

Particularly in anti-inflammatory properties, therapeutic regimens must closely monitor to draw experience in adjusting to each gender - based on their differences in immune cells - newly achieved High efficiency.
