Sex hormones are implicated in the immune response, with estrogens as enhancers at least
of the humoral immunity and androgens and progesterone (and glucocorticoids) as natural�…

Epidemiological and experimental immunological evidence suggest that estrogens enhance
the humoral immune response, and at the same time, seem to play important roles in�…

Sex hormones seem to play an important role as modulators of the autoimmune disease
onset/perpetuation. Generally, steroid hormones are implicated in the immune response�…

OBJECTIVE: It has been proposed that physiologic levels of estrogens stimulate immune
responses whereas androgens suppress inflammatory reactions. Thus, prevalence of�…

Experimental and clinical evidence suggest that immune reactivity is modulated by gender.
Immune reactivity is greater in females than in males and lymphocytes and monocytes from�…

Sex hormones are implicated in the immune response, with estrogens as enhancers at least
of the humoral immunity and androgens and progesterone as natural immune-suppressors�…

Generally, androgens exert suppressive effects on both humoral and cellular immune
responses and seem to represent natural anti‐inflammatory hormones; in contrast�…

Immunological, epidemiological, and clinical evidence suggest that female sex hormones
play an important role in the etiology and pathophysiology of chronic immune/inflammatory�…

Autoimmune diseases occur more in women than in men, and this may be attributable to the
role of estrogens. Androgens promote autoimmune diseases with a profile of type 1�…

Gender affects the susceptibility to many autoimmune diseases. Women have an increased
risk of developing diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis compared�…
