Women with cystic fibrosis exhibit higher insulin secretion than men

[Northerner]

In patients with cystic fibrosis, adult women demonstrate higher insulin secretion than their male counterparts, suggesting a potential sex dimorphism in this disease, recent study data found.

Moreover, women with cystic fibrosis had insulin secretion levels comparable to those of healthy women, whereas men with cystic fibrosis had significantly lower insulin levels than healthy men.
