This book provides an overview of the latest experimental work on
sex-based differences in lung function and inflammation. Readers
will learn how these differences relate to individual
predispositions for the development of lung disease in men and
women, and in different stages of their reproductive lives.
Further, the book focuses on diseases that predominantly affect
women or men, with an emphasis on the physiological mechanisms
underlying their pathobiology. In turn, these findings are
complemented by chapters on recent studies, which investigate how
circulating sex hormone levels impact the lung's innate immune
response to environmental agents and air pollution. The
pathogeneses of asthma and viral respiratory infection are also
major focus areas. As an outlook, the book also discusses current
and future research directions aimed at developing sex-specific
therapies for lung disease. To examine these anatomical and
physiological differences in the male and female respiratory
systems, the authors employ a broad range of methods from molecular
and clinical biology. Accordingly, the book will be a fascinating
read for physiologists and clinicians alike.
