autoimmune disease


Recommended Posts

Here's a great artilce that gives tons of well researched detail on your question (which is also known as "sexual dimorphism"). Take your time with it, and look up the words you don't understand. I think you'll come away much more knowledgable and have a greater understanding. :)

Thus, the basis for sex differences in autoimmune disease is most likely multifactorial, with contributions being made by genetics, hormones, immune bias, and the environment.

 

 

 

Enjoy.

iNow, that link carries alot of information regarding autoimmune diseases, however the original poster would like a summary of what it is that makes autoimmune diseases more prevalent in women than in men and not have to read the whole article.

So why don't you offer one then? Were I to ask such a question, that's exactly the type of article I'd want in response. I'd read it, and then ask more questions. Further, I DID quote a summary. :rolleyes:

 

I read this again recently somewhere... I think it may have been here...

 

 

Give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day. Teach him how to fish and he will eat forever.

 

 

I'll help you, but I'm not going to hold your hand or wipe your ass for you.
