How does progesterone interact with the immune system and what roles does it play in modulating inflammatory responses or supporting overall immune health?
Progesterone modulates the immune system by increasing the production of anti-inflammatory cytokines and suppressing pro-inflammatory responses, aiding in both immune tolerance and inflammation control.
Progesterone modulates immune responses by decreasing cytokine production, thereby reducing inflammation and potentially enhancing immune tolerance, especially during pregnancy.
