Estrogen and progesterone are female-typical steroid hormones secreted primarily by the ovaries. Their actions to modulate reproductive physiology and behavior have long been recognized. However, it is now known
This review aims to update our current knowledge of the effects of the sex hormones estradiol and progesterone in the female reproductive tract on innate immunity, antigen presentation, specific immune responses, antibody secretion, genital tract infections caused by Chlamydia trachomatis, and vaccine-...
and those treated with progesterone increased, respectively, the number of cells in the BAL and bone marrow. Lungs of OVx allergic rats significantly increased the E-selectin expression, an
Fig. 1.The effects of sex hormones on the immune cells. Female sex hormones such as progesterone, human chorionic gonadotropin and estrogen might affect the development of dendritic cells and regulatory T cells. In addition, estrogen has also been found to induce Th2 development and B cell hype...

Many contemporary studies have sought to monitor some of the main female sexual hormones in surface waters in Brazil. Current article evaluates the presence of 17 beta-estradiol, 17 alpha-ethinylestradiol, estrone and progesterone in the surface waters of Curitiba and the surrounding metropolitan area...
Metformin as a first-line clinical anti-diabetic agent prolongs the lifespan of model animals and promotes cell proliferation. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the proliferative phenotype, especially in epigenetics, have rarely been reported.
The menstrual cycle, pregnancy, and conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) can lead to fluctuations in hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. These fluctuations often increase oil production in the skin, leading to clogged pores and acne breakouts, particularly in the lower face and ...
