ABSTRACT
Could it be possible that we should give some weight to the contribution of biological differences as contributors to the greater fentanyl mortality in males than in females? Most current explanations for a sex difference are based largely on psychosocial and other non-physiologic contributions. Our recent findings suggest a biological contribution. This could have broad implications for the interpretation and prevention of fentanyl overdose deaths.
