The evidence for important interplays between the immune and endocrine systems has launched the whole new field of neuroimmunoendocrinology which has attra...

Numerous epidemiological and clinical studies have noted differences in the incidence and severity of parasitic diseases between males and females. Although in some instances this may be due to gender-associated differences in behavior, there is overwhelming evidence that sex-associated hormones can also modulate immune responses and consequently directly influence the outcome of parasitic infe...
متن کاملDo the Interactions between Glucocorticoids and Sex Hormones Regulate the Development of the Metabolic Syndrome?
The metabolic syndrome is basically a maturity-onset disease. Typically, its manifestations begin to flourish years after the initial dietary or environmental aggression began. Since most hormonal, metabolic, or defense responses are practically immediate, the procrastinated response do not seem justified. Only in childhood, the damages of the metabolic syndrome appear with minimal delay. Sex a...
