Slide 9 - Airway obstruction! Before 10 minutes after allergen inhalation
Slide 10 - Sex hormones Interaction between sex hormones and immune function Women are more susceptible to specific immunological disorders Better B cell mediated immunity Higher Ig levels Higher CD4 to CD8 ratios
Slide 11 - Sex hormones and asthma In humans data remain inconclusive Mouse model: Estrogen: increases BALF eosinophilia in oophorectomized rats with asthma (Ligeiro de Oliveira et al. 2004) Progesterone: increases airway inflammation in male mice with asthma (Hellings et al. 2003) Testosterone: Castration of male asthmatic mice increases BALF eosinophilia (Hayashi et al. 2003)

Slide 15 - Airway Branching Morphogenesis
Slide 16 - Lung growth in children girls have larger airways in proportion to lung volume than boys puberty 2 years

Slide 20 - less prevalent in girls more prevalent in female adults due to airway and lung growth hormonal changes hyperresponsiveness immune development Conclusions on asthma
Slide 21 - In females more severe higher mortality more and longer hospitalisations (except boys) less response to inhaled steroids? different interaction with genetic background? hormonal influence? Conclusions on asthma
