The book provides a reference for years to come, written by
world-renowned expert investigators studying sex differences, the
role of sex hormones, the systems biology of sex, and the genetic
contribution of sex chromosomes to metabolic homeostasis and
diseases. In this volume, leaders of the pharmaceutical industry
present their views on sex-specific drug discovery. Many of the
authors presented at the Keystone Symposium on "Sex and gender
factors affecting metabolic homeostasis, diabetes and obesity" to
be held in March 2017 in Lake Tahoe, CA. This book will generate
new knowledge and ideas on the importance of gender biology and
medicine from a molecular standpoint to the population level and to
provide the methods to study them. It is intended to be a catalyst
leading to gender-specific treatments of metabolic diseases. There
are fundamental aspects of metabolic homeostasis that are regulated
differently in males and females, and influence both the
development of diabetes and obesity and the response to
pharmacological intervention. Still, most preclinical researchers
avoid studying female rodents due to the added complexity of
research plans. The consequence is a generation of data that risks
being relevant to only half of the population. This is a timely
moment to publish a book on sex differences in diseases as NIH
leadership has asked scientists to consider sex as a biological
variable in preclinical research, to ensure that women get the same
benefit of medical research as men.
