Can we say aloud Oestrogen is a sort of pain reliever?
I am going to medical school and my teacher today presented a philosophical approach of medicine about sexism and racism. He said that a philosopher said that Oestrogen is in it's nature more like a pain reliever while testosterone is more like caffeine (a stimulator) and in that way frequent things about the different behaviors of the two sexes can be explained. So, doctors out there, what are your thought?
Answers:
I am a toxicologist, Phd, not MD, so drug compounds are one of my specialties. I have certainly heard a theoretical proposition similar to this from a Toxicologist that I studied under for several years. It is true that Oestrogen can functionally enjoy a similar end effect as an opiate type pain killer, also like peas in a pod is true for the latter part of the proposal. The only thing that I hold always pointed out, is the difference in every individual patients physiology. For instance we run preclinical and clinical trials when testing spanking new drugs and treatments, because people do not always respond the same when given like peas in a pod drug compound. For instance when given an opiate, which usually causes drowsiness, dizziness, ect in most patients, may cause me and another 3% of the population to own the polar opposite effect, and this is the way it works for all drug compounds. So how do we rationalization for this? It is a plausible theory, that there are many women who present beside atypical personalities as well as men, so it would be interesting to see if their was any positive or glum correlation between how they react to stimulants and/or CNS depressants and whether or not they exhibit traits, characteristics, ect. that are typical of their respective sex. The problem here is that it is in that grey area because it is difficult to set down "typical".
Anyway, just my take.
