Well now, here's an example of gender bias entirely ?configured by Mother Nature - women are more likely than men to get asthma because we lack the protection of the male ?hormone testosterone .
额,这完全是一个由大自然构成的性别偏见的例子--女性比男性更容易患哮喘,这是因为我们缺乏男性激素睾酮的保护。
We also have more of a particular immune cell which responds to inflammation by producing mucus, leading to coughing and wheezing. Turns out testosterone blocks these injurious immune cells and thereby the development of asthma.
我们体内的特定免疫细胞也更多,这些细胞通过分泌粘液来响应炎症,导致咳嗽和哮鸣。原来睾酮会阻断这些有害的免疫细胞,从而预防哮喘。
The testosterone which floods male bodies at puberty is thought to protect them, so that they're then less likely to have asthma than women. Female sex hormones don't protect against asthma. But there is an upside.
人们认为,青春期男性体内流动的睾酮会保护他们,所以他们患哮喘的可能性比女性更低。女性雌激素不能预防哮喘,但也有一个好处。
Senior author Dr Dawn Newcomb, from the University of Vanderbilt, US, said: "Our findings may help develop a treatment for women's asthma."
资深作者、美国范德比尔特大学博士道恩·纽科姆说道:"我们的研究结果或有助于找到治疗女性哮喘的方法。"
