Men and Women have different Activated Immune Cells during Pain Response

A research published in the journal Nature Neuroscience has tested the levels of pain sensitivity among male and female. To know the same, study researchers used male and female mice and came to know both genders experience the same levels of pain sensitivity. But they were activated through different immune cells during response.

The researchers wanted to know the gender differences in pain response, so that new therapies could be more successful when they enter the market. In the experiment, the male and female mice were injured on foot and were then given medicine.

It was noticed that after receiving the medicine, male mice felt better, but female mice showed 'as much touch sensitivity as before (the medicine)'. In earlier studies it has been shown that immune cells called microglia transmit signals from an injury site signaling how much an injured part should pain.

But now a new research from...
