B. Tapescript:


The United States government's Office of Research on Women's Health is observing its tenth anniversary 5. During those ten years it has made important discoveries about differences in the health of men and women. Studies organized by the Office of Research on Women's Health have shown that differences between men and women can influence medical treatment.


For example, researchers learned 6 that men and women can react differently to a heart attack. Men usually have chest pain. But women may not. Instead, they may suffer pain in the abdomen 7. They also may have stomach sickness and feel very tired. Women may not recognize that they are having a heart attack.


Research also has shown that the brains of men and women use the chemical serotonin differently. Serotonin helps prevent the condition of continued severe sadness called depression. Men's brains use serotonin much more effectively than women's brains do. This may help explain why women suffer depression two or three times more often than men do.


Other research shows that alcohol 8 affects men and women differently. Men and women in one experiment drank the same amount of alcoholic 9 drinks. Then researchers measured their blood for alcohol levels. The women had higher levels of alcohol in their blood. Women produce less of a substance called gastric 10 alcohol dehydrogenase. This causes them to break down alcohol more slowly than men.
