DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The APS Conference on "Genome and Hormones: An Integrative Approach to Gender Differences in Physiology," is scheduled for October 18-20, 2001 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. For decades, research of basic physiological systems, which extended into clinical trials were defined from results of studies of "normal 70 kg male." With initiatives from the NIH, Office of Women's Health Research, and emerging fields of pharmacogenetics, it is obvious that understanding differences in physiology and pathophysiology associated with incidence in disease in males and females needs to become an integral part of scientific approaches. Over the last ten years, new discoveries in hormone research have included discovery of new hormone receptors, cellular process initiated by their stimulation, development of synthetic and specific estrogen-receptor modulators (SERMS), and development of animals lacking sex steroid receptors. These advances have provided new insights into how sex steroid hormones alter physiological responses independent of the presence of Y chromosome. These observations have raised questions of how genetic sex (presence of the X or Y chromosome) influences physiological responses to sex hormones. The fundamental goal of this conference is to bring together experts in genetics, molecular biology, integrative physiology and clinical medicine to address genetic influences on responses to sex steroids. The Specific Aims of the conference are: 1) To convene an internationally recognized interdisciplinary group of investigators to discuss basic mechanisms of action of sex steroids from receptors to intracellular processes and how these basic mechanisms influence integrative physiological responses including presentation of disease; 2) to promote the participation of young scientists with an emphasis on women and underrepresented minorities, through a travel award program; and 3) to interest new investigators and students in pursuing research on gender/sex related aspects of physiological systems.

描述（由申请人提供）：关于“基因组和 激素：生理学上性别差异的综合方法，”是 计划于2001年10月18日至20日在宾夕法尼亚州匹兹堡。几十年来， 基本生理系统的研究，该系统扩展到临床试验 根据“正常70公斤男性”的研究结果定义。与倡议 来自NIH，妇女健康研究办公室以及新兴领域 药物遗传学，很明显，理解生理学的差异 与男性和女性疾病发病率相关的病理生理学 需要成为科学方法的组成部分。在过去的十个 多年来，激素研究中的新发现包括发现新的 激素受体，通过其刺激引发的细胞过程，发育 合成和特定的雌激素受体调节剂（SERM）和发育 缺乏性类固醇受体的动物。这些进步提供了新的 对性类固醇激素如何改变生理反应的见解 独立于Y染色体的存在。这些观察已经提出 关于遗传性别（X或Y染色体的存在）如何影响的问题 对性激素的生理反应。这个基本目标 会议是将遗传学专家，分子生物学， 综合生理学和临床医学，以解决对遗传影响的影响 对性类固醇的反应。会议的具体目的是：1） 召集一个国际认可的跨学科调查人员小组 讨论性类固醇从受体到的基本作用机理 细胞内过程以及这些基本机制如何影响综合 生理反应，包括疾病的表现； 2）促进 年轻科学家的参与，重点是女性和 通过旅行奖计划的代表性少数群体不足； 3）感兴趣 新的调查人员和学生追求有关性别/性别相关的研究 生理系统的各个方面。
