How does estrogen regulate immune responses to infections and what mechanisms underlie its effects on inflammation, immune cell activity and autoimmune conditions?
Estrogen influences immune function by modulating cytokine production, altering immune cell activity such as T-cell and B-cell function, and regulating inflammation through impacts on various cell signaling pathways.
Estrogen moderates immune response by affecting cytokine production, altering leukocyte numbers, and modulating inflammation. Its role in autoimmune diseases is linked to its immune-regulatory effects.
