Autoimmune diseases, such as multiple sclerosis (MS), show a higher incidence rate in women compared to men, which may be due to differences in the immune system, sex hormones, or both. Furthermore a disruption in homeostasis within these systems appears to be contributing to the etiology of MS. These systems are also influenced by the environment and metabolic factors necessitating the adoption of a broader viewpoint of the contributing factors in MS in the search for effective therapeutics.
自身免疫性疾病,如多发性硬化症(MS),女性的发病率高于男性,这可能是由于免疫系统、性激素或两者的差异所致。此外,这些系统内稳态的破坏似乎也在MS的病因中起作用。这些系统还受到环境和代谢因素的影响,因此在寻找有效治疗方法时,有必要对MS的致病因素采取更广泛的观点。
