Abstract
Female animals tolerate trauma and hemorrhage better than male animals AND Estrogen has rapid nongenomic effects that protect organs from damage and attenuate insult-induced inflammation MOREOVER The survival deficit from trauma and hemorrhage produced in ovariectomized female animals is repaired with administration of exogenous estrogen AND Women survive injury, sepsis, and trauma-hemorrhage-induced hypoxemia/reperfusion better than men THEREFORE Women rule ... in survival after trauma, thus, men would benefit from being more like women.
