一项新研究发现,由于与性激素有关的生物免疫差异,妇女可能比男性更感到痛苦。 Women may feel pain longer than men due to biological immune differences tied to sex hormones, a new study finds.

一项新的科学免疫学研究发现,由于免疫反应的生物差异,特别是与睾丸酮等性激素有关的IL-10产生的单细胞活性较低,妇女可能比男子遭受更长期的疼痛。 A new study in Science Immunology finds that women may experience longer-lasting pain than men due to biological differences in immune responses, particularly lower activity of IL-10-producing monocytes linked to sex hormones like testosterone. 研究人员观察到,雄性小鼠和受伤后的人类病人的疼痛恢复速度更快,而男性的IL-10含量较高。 Researchers observed faster pain recovery in male mice and human patients after injury, with men showing higher IL-10 levels. 调查结果表明,免疫系统活动不是心理因素,而是造成慢性疼痛方面的性别差距,对过去的假设提出了挑战,并指出今后可能针对IL-10途径的治疗。 The findings suggest immune system activity, not psychological factors, drives the gender gap in chronic pain, challenging past assumptions and pointing to potential future treatments targeting IL-10 pathways.
