Sex differences in breathing
2019, Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology -Part A : Molecular and Integrative PhysiologyCitation Excerpt :The data regarding sex influences on the HcVR is also not homogeneous. Many studies have shown that the ventilatory response to CO2 is increased in healthy men compared with women during wakefulness (Berthon-Jones and Sullivan, 1984; Jensen et al., 2005; MacNutt et al., 2012; Patrick and Howard, 1972; White et al., 1983). On the other hand, Douglas et al. (1982) reported no difference in the HcVR between men and women, in wakefulness or sleep, when using either the absolute ventilatory response to CO2, corrected for body surface area, or the percentage change from the value determined in wakefulness.
Sex differences in sleep disordered breathing in adults
2017, Respiratory Physiology and NeurobiologyCitation Excerpt :The hypoxic ventilatory response is typically used as a measure of peripheral chemoreflex sensitivity. Some studies have also reported that the hypoxic ventilatory response is increased in men compared to women (Morelli et al., 2004; Patrick and Howard, 1972; White et al., 1983) while others have reported that no sex difference exists (Jensen et al., 2005a; Tarbichi et al., 2003). One possible reason for these different findings is that menstrual cycle status was not controlled in some investigations, whereas other investigations made comparisons between men and women in either the follicular or luteal phase of the menstrual cycle.
Sex and acetazolamide effects on chemoreflex and periodic breathing during sleep at altitude
2015, ChestCitation Excerpt :Comparisons among data from previous studies are made even more difficult by sex-related differences in anthropometric and lung function indexes. Although some previous studies, characterized by relatively small sample sizes, could not find significant differences in hypoxic sensitivity between the sexes,33‐35 our data, showing that the HVR is greater in men than in women, even after correction for body height, are in agreement with those of other previous works36‐39 and are consistent with the evidence suggesting that testosterone increases peripheral chemoreflex sensitivity to hypoxia.32,40 Similarly, our results point to the absence of sex differences in the HCVR in healthy subjects, as reported previously by other authors.35,41,42
Hypoxia-induced ventilatory responses in conscious mice: Gender differences in ventilatory roll-off and facilitation
2013, Respiratory Physiology and NeurobiologyCitation Excerpt :In humans, hypoxia-induced ventilatory responses (HVR) have been reported to be equal in females and males (Marcus et al., 1994) or greater in females (Aitken et al., 1986). In contrast, it has been reported that women have a lower HVR (White et al., 1983) and hypercapnic drive (Patrick and Howard, 1972; White et al., 1983) than men. Disparate findings have also been generated in animals.
