Ages of the immune system slowly in women than in men and can be this is the secret behind the longevity of women more than men. This is the conclusion of the Japanese study conducted at the Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry in Tokyo and published their findings in the Journal of Immunology and Development, where researchers conduct blood tests for 365 people of both sexes and age ranged between 20-90 years.
To measure the number of leukocytes and calibration of chemical mediators that called "Setukenaz" which play a role in the immune system and defensive reaction.
As a result, it was observed a decrease in the number of leukocytes moderate with aging in both sexes, these cells are responsible for defense against bacterial diseases, this result is consistent with the results of previous studies.
The lymphoid cells was decreased in men with age and vice number has increased in women with age. And check the nature of the changes in lymphoid cells with aging, it was observed that the number of these cells is higher in males than females in young age but decreases in men with aging and on the contrary increased when women even number becomes convergent ages advanced, as observed decline in the amount of "Setukenaz "With age when men.
Said Professor كاتسوكو Hirokawa, supervisor of the research, explained these findings that "the process of aging differ between women and men for several reasons, which believes hormones feminine protection for women until menopause as well as the influence of these hormones on the immune system especially on special types of lymphoid cells," he added as well as the immune trichomoniasis can be used to give a better idea of the biological life of the people.
