Women do have different enzyme activity and hormonal profiles, and (to the best of my knowledge) its not known why women have a reduced risk of heart disease compared to men. Is it one of these factors? Could make millions of researching that.
Yeah, I was just supporting the notion that exercise is a good thing for everybody... before this totally new information comes out after the testing on males. Poor rats... guess they got left out of this one.
