normal lung development, lung physiology, and various lung diseases. The primary goal of
this review is to summarize knowledge to date on the effects of sex and sex hormones on
lung development, physiology, and disease in animals. Specific emphasis will be placed on
fibrosis, allergic airway disease, acute lung injury models, respiratory infection, and lung
toxicology studies.
