Abstract
In this issue of The Journal of Physiology, Horii et al. (2021) have added to a growing cohort of papers showing sex-dependency on pain, a study in which they demonstrate ’a remarkable sex difference in responses of colorectal motility to noxious stimuli in the colorectum in rats’ demonstrating that ’administration of a noxious stimulant, capsaicin, into the colorectal lumen enhanced colorectal motility in male rats but not in female rats’.
