DIFFERENT ROLES FOR ANDROGENS AND ESTROGENS IN THE SUSCEPTIBILITY TO AUTOIMMUNE RHEUMATIC DISEASES
Abstract
It is now documented that androgens and estrogens modulate susceptibility and progression to autoimmune rheumatic diseases. At any concentration, androgens seem to be primarily suppressive on cellular and humoral immunity, whereas at physiologic concentrations, estrogens seem to enhance humoral immunity. Further research should focus on the different and frequently opposite effects exerted by physiologic and pharmacologic doses of estrogens (dose-related effects). In addition to the influence of endogenous estrogen fluctuations (i.e., during pregnancy, postpartum, menstrual periods, menopause), estrogen replacement therapy, and the use of oral contraceptives, the susceptibility to autoimmunity might be increased by the environmental estrogens (xenobiotics). Further studies must be directed to the inflammatory mediators (i.e., cytokines) that seem to alter the peripheral metabolism of sex hormones and complicate the effects of sex hormones on susceptibility to autoimmunity. Finally, genetic factors might further interfere with the roles of androgens and estrogens in selected individuals.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
