This book discusses normal sex-related differences in lung
structure and function and the role these differences play in
lung disease. New research on the effects of sex hormone
signaling on specific cell types of the lung has begun to reveal
how these hormones may drive or prevent lung disease. Expertly
written chapters examine the effects of sex hormones on normal
pulmonary structure and function, hormone signaling in lung
health, and specific diseases such as chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease, asthma, pulmonary hypertension, and lung
cancer.
