Sex-Based Differences in Lung Physiology

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 ar...
