Abstract
Beyond the reproductive system and reproductive behaviors, men and women exhibit major differences in many organ systems, including the anatomy of the brain, the activities of the stress and immune systems, and the metabolic and cardiovascular functions. A comprehensive understanding of the impact of these sex differences on health and disease is crucial to the development of effective sex-based therapies. Mathematical modeling has the potential of facilitating and contributing to advancing the understanding of sex differences in health and disease. Indeed, explosion of mathematical models have been developed in recent decades for different aspects of human physiology and pathophysiology. This review contains a survey of sex-specific mathematical models of physiological systems, describe insights that have been revealed in those modeling studies, and discuss future opportunities.
