“…Respiratory inflammatory diseases are more common in females compared to males; however, males are more susceptible to diseases such as COVID‐19 and pneumonia (Chamekh et al., 2017; Klein et al., 2001). Patients presenting with similar symptoms of the same age and fitness can have drastically different outcomes depending upon their sex (Hong et al., 2016; Kautzky‐Willer et al., 2022; McNicholas et al., 2019; Tejpal et al., 2021; Trigueros et al., 2019; Ursin & Klein, 2021). In the lung, sex‐dependent neural differences include changes in acetylcholine release and neuromuscular function, regulation of airway constriction, ciliary clearance, and mucus secretion (Carey, Card, Voltz, Germolec, et al., 2007; Dominelli & Molgat‐Seon, 2022; Fuseini & Newcomb, 2017; Han et al., 2018; LoMauro & Aliverti, 2018; Townsend et al., 2012).…”
