Trade-Offs Between Hepatic Host Defense and Metabolic Programs Underlie Sex-Biased Diseases
2022-01-10
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Current concepts in evolutionary medicine propose that trade-offs and mismatches with a shifting environment increase disease risk. While biological sex also impacts disease prevalence, contributions of environmental pressures to sex-biased diseases remain unexplored. Here, we show that sex-dependent hepatic programs confer a robust (~300%) survival advantage for male mice during lethal bacteria...
