Recently a research conducted on Drosophila and published in Nature Aging on 1st December reveals effects of rapamycin, a mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin) inhibitor drug extending the lifespan in females, but not in males. The research suggests the increased enterocyte autophagy in females via H3/H4 histone-Bchs (Blue cheese) axis, while unaltered in males. A review study by Lemaitre et al. on 101 species of mammals discloses the average female’s median lifespan 18.6 % longer than males. In human beings, it was noted 7.8% more. Diversified studies have shown the differences in immune responses, autoimmunity, stress and emotional regulations, meta...
