Abstract
In many animal species, males suffer more from age-related disease than females. Is there a common cause for this burden on male health? Recent work supports the theory that the female transmission of mitochondria disproportionately increases the mutation load in males.
摘要
在许多动物物种中，男性比女性更容易受到与年龄相关的疾病的影响。这种男性健康负担的共同原因是什么？最近的研究支持了这样一种理论，即线粒体的雌性传递不成比例地增加了男性的突变负荷。
