Scientists from the US and Cyprus have found that the gender of the experimenter can influence the results of medical experiments on mice. The smell of men causes stress in mice, but if they inject an antidepressant, it works as it should. At the same time, if you put T-shirts on the mice, they will spend more time with the women, and run away from the men. But with injections of an antidepressant, it was revealed that the medicine administered by a woman had a worse effect on mice.
