As estrogen has previously been shown to induce Treg expansion in vivo [143], both hormones may play a role in the maintenance of placental Tregs throughout ...

Effects of Progesterone and Estradiol Sex Hormones on the Release ...

Together, these results indicate that progesterone but not estradiol can inhibit particle release by stimulated macrophages and suggest a mechanism that may ...

Sex Hormones in Acquired Immunity and Autoimmune Disease

ERs are present on thymocytes as well as thymic epithelial cells (44). Estrogen influences T cell development and lymphopoiesis, and its effects on the thymus ...

Gender-Specific Impact of Sex Hormones on the Immune System

For example, progesterone can exert its action on immune cells by binding to the other receptor. An alternative mechanism that can be used by sex hormones can ...

Sex Hormones Regulate Innate Immune Cells and Promote Sex ...

However, the effect of estrogen or progesterone on NK cell activity is unclear since some studies showed that in vitro (human) or in vivo ...

Ovarian steroid hormones: effects on immune responses ... - Nature

The Secretory/Luteal phase is characterized by high levels of progesterone from the corpus luteum to maintain the endometrium. Finally, corpus ...

The role of estradiol in the immune response against COVID-19

Progesterone was recently found to have an antiviral effect against SARS-CoV-2 in vitro [61]. It has been proposed that a possible mechanism of ...

Examination of the acute immune responses of the infected animals showed that maximum activation was present in the draining lymph node cells from the ...

Progesterone regulation of uterine dendritic cell function in rodents ...

Steroid hormones, such as progesterone, are able to modify immunity and influence disease outcome. Dendritic cells (DCs) drive potent immune responses, ...

Sex and COVID-19: A Protective Role for Reproductive Steroids

Like progesterone, estrogens are strong immune regulatory agents. Estrogens regulate immune cell responses and promote anti-inflammatory and ...

Role of Sex Steroid Hormones in Bacterial‐Host Interactions
