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 that ovarian hormones influence a number of other processes, including affect, cognitive ...
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-...

Female sex hormones (i.e. estrogen, progesterone and relaxin) fluctuate radically during the menstrual cycle and are reported to increase ligamentous laxity and decrease neuromuscular performance and, thus, are a possible cause of decreases in both passive and active knee stability in female athletes...
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...
