Physician Martin Zeier of the University of Heidelberg uncovered this pattern byscouring a giant database called the Collaborative Transplant Study, which collects records of organ donationfrom patients in 49 countries. After analyzing records of nearly 167,000 kidney, heart, and liver transplants, hefound that men had a 22 percent higher risk of rejecting or losing a donated kidney from a woman than onefrom a man within one year of transplant. Men were also 13 percent more likely to lose a woman’s heart. Noparallel effect was seen in women who received kidney or heart transplants from men.This pattern hints at a fundamental, still-unknown difference between the immune systems of men andwomen. The presence or absence of estrogen, or a gender-related difference in the distribution of chemicalreceptors on the surface of cells, might influence immune reactions that can lead to organ acceptance orrejection. Nonetheless, Zeier would never advise a man to turn down a female kidney, especially since rejectioncan often be reversed with the proper drug regimen. And there are other factors—the age and health of thedonor, for example—that are much more important than the gender difference.

(A)inconsumable (B)irrational (C)unintentional (D)impermissiblePeople used to attribute addiction to a combination of factors. These include early exposure to a drug, early lifeemotional trauma, physical or sexual abuse, and certain psychiatric conditions. 42Individuals who are genetically predisposed to any type of addiction have a defective gene in the part of the brainresponsible for the manufacture of dopamine, the neurotransmitter involved with drugs. Cocaine, heroin, nicotine,amphetamines, and other addictive drugs alter the brain’s pleasure circuit, producing a feel-good sensation. The pleasurecircuit communicates in the chemical language of dopamine, and this neurotransmitter zips from neuron to neuron in thebrain like a molecular happy face to produce feelings of mild happiness to euphoria. 43 The most important is areduction in the number of dopamine receptors.44 Having fewer dopamine receptors means that less passing dopamine gets caught, so the pleasure circuit calmsdown. With fewer dopamine receptors, a hit that used to produce pleasure no longer does. In order to achieve a high thatequals the original, the addict must increase the dose.Researchers recently identified “hot spots” or regions of chromosomes linked to a risk for addiction. Now they arezeroing in on the actual genes. 45
