Some aspects of glucose homeostasis are regulated differently in males and females. This review discusses the most fundamental gender differences in glucose homeostasis and diabetes. These include the prevalence of impaired fasting glucose and impaired glucose tolerance, the prevalence and incidence of type 2 and type 1 diabetes, and the sex-specific effects of testosterone and estrogen deficiency and excess. These gender-specific differences in glucose homeostasis represent a source of factors that should be studied to develop gender-based therapeutic avenues for diabetes.
葡萄糖稳态的某些方面在男性和女性中的调节方式有所不同。本综述讨论了葡萄糖稳态和糖尿病中最基本的性别差异。这些差异包括空腹血糖受损和葡萄糖耐量受损的患病率、2型和1型糖尿病的患病率和发病率,以及睾酮和雌激素缺乏与过量的性别特异性影响。葡萄糖稳态中的这些性别特异性差异是一系列因素的来源,应该对其进行研究,以开发针对糖尿病的性别特异性治疗途径。
