Here we demonstrate that ovarian derived hormones account for this sex specific difference. Ovariectomy of females prior to infection permits metabolic reprogramming of the myeloid lineage, with BMDM exhibiting carbon source flexibility for cellular respiration, and mice protected from systemic metabolic disease.
