The drugs and the occurrence of the disease depends on the individual sex

Scientists believe the soil can influence susceptibility to various diseases and the effect of drugs, so in the future drugs should for men and women. Scientists have long noted that women, for example, are prone to depression and bulimia, while men - for Parkinson's disease. Examinations of the brain of men and women have shown that it has a different structure depending on the sex. On this basis, scientists expect that the future of medicine should be for men and women. Most of the drugs now being tested in men. From this we can assume that these drugs may not be as effective for women. In addition, scientists have found that the concentration of hormones may influence susceptibility to various diseases. For example, women who suffer from multiple sclerosis, levels of the male hormone testosterone is much lower than in healthy women. This dependency is usually observed in Parkinson's disease. The disease is much more common in men than in women. According to scientists, Anita Holdcroft, from Imperial College London, the level of hormones in the female body, in contrast to the male, is constantly evolving, and this can have the effect of drugs on women. Therefore, the researchers recommend in-depth studies to determine how gender relates to the effect of certain medications, and a list of diseases, assessment, which varies according to gender.
