Lees 2 has set out evidence in favour of the theory that secretion of the brain hormone is induced by nervous stimuli. On the other hand, Andrewartha 3 thought that the brain might respond to a humoral stimulus linked with nutrition.
During the last two decades, different studies has reported the existence of hormonal receptors, including steroid sex hormone receptors, in different types of leukocytes and how leukocyte functions are regulated by them (see for review20,22,40,41,42). This leads to the hypothesis that the immun...
By the term “systemic immune response” or grammatical equivalents herein is meant an immune response which is not localized, but affects the individual as a whole, thus allowing specific subsequent responses to the same stimulus. As used herein, the term “proliferation-incompetent” or “inactiva...

Sex hormones, including estrogen, can enhance or reduce the expression of cell surface molecules used for viral entry. For example, estrogen alters the expression of the CC ch...
