Estrogen Modulation of Cardiac Immune Cells Is Cardioprotective.
… failure. Interestingly, the ovarian hormone, estrogen has been shown to mediate this response; but how estrogen mediates this response in the myocardium has not been elucidated. The studies detailed herein were used to test the hypothesis that estrogen regulation of immune cells is …

Molecular Basis of Upregulation of IL-17 in Estrogen Model of Inflammation
… by exposure to a natural immunomodulator, estrogen. In this novel study, we have comprehensively investigated the effect of estrogen on IL-17 induction, an aspect not studied thus far. We are the first to demonstrate that estrogen increases the ability of lymphocytes to secrete IL-17A, and …

Comparative Immunological Effects of a Natural Estrogen (17β-estradiol) versus a Pharmacologic Synthetic Estrogen (17α-ethinyl estradiol)
Exposure to exogenous estrogens such as synthetic 17α-ethinyl estradiol (EE) occurs via multiple sources (i.e. hormonal contraceptives, environmental contamination, hormone replacement therapy). The natural estrogen, 17β-estradiol (E2), is a well-studied immunomodulatory hormone at both …

Sexual immune dimorphism in ecological context : the impact of estrogen on human immune function and development of bacteria killing assay.
… and evolutionary lens, focusing on the role of estrogen in immune modulation and the development of a bacteria killing assay to assess innate immunity in human saliva. Females generally exhibit stronger immune responses than males, providing advantages in pathogen defense but increasing the risk …
