Sex hormones and allergies: exploring the gender differences in immune responses.
Front Allergy
January 2025
Research Institute of Biomedical Sciences, University Center of Health Sciences, University of Guadalajara, Guadalajara, Mexico.
Allergies are closely associated with sex-related hormonal variations that influence immune function, leading to distinct symptom profiles. Similar sex-based differences are observed in other immune disorders, such as autoimmune diseases. In allergies, women exhibit a higher prevalence of atopic conditions, such as allergic asthma and eczema, in comparison to men.

Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune, chronic, systemic inflammatory disease that causes redness, swelling, stiffness, and joint pain. It is a long-lasting disease that can have a widespread impact on the body, often affecting the hands, feet, and wrists. The immune cells, such as dendritic cells, T cells, B cells, macrophages, and neutrophils, play a significant role in bone degradation and inflammation.

Article Synopsis
- Spontaneous preterm labor is linked to the maternal immune system's failure to tolerate the fetus, often characterized by a chronic inflammatory response, particularly involving regulatory T cells.
- The study examined 43 women in early pregnancy to see if the levels of specific regulatory T cell subpopulations could predict premature labor.
- Results showed that women who experienced preterm labor had significantly lower levels of all analyzed regulatory T cell subpopulations compared to those who delivered at term, suggesting a potential immune imbalance contributing to preterm outcomes.
Contraceptives or Hormone Replacement Therapy and Associations with Autoimmune Conditions: Exploring Effects of Estrogen Analog Supplementation.
ACR Open Rheumatol
January 2025
Jefferson Einstein Hospital, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of estrogen and progesterone analog supplementation on the development of autoimmune conditions.
Methods: This retrospective observational study used data from the TriNetX network, which comprised over 100 million patients from 89 health care organizations. We compared patients exposed to estrogen and progesterone analogs to those exposed to progesterone-only therapy, using 1:1 propensity score matching based on age, ethnicity, and additional criteria.
Impact of Laboratory-Measured Euthyroid Hashimoto's Thyroiditis on Reproductive Hormone Profile in Women with Obesity.
Metab Syndr Relat Disord
December 2024
Department of Internal Medicine, Istanbul Training and Research Hospital, University of Health Sciences, Istanbul, Turkey.
Hashimoto's thyroiditis is a common endocrinological disorder that often coexists with obesity. Thyroid hormones interact with the regulation of sex steroids, and thyroid autoimmunity has a negative impact on female fertility. There are studies showing when euthyroid state is achieved with hormone replacement therapy (HRT), the reproductive hormone profile is improved but they usually compare the reproductive hormones before and after HRT in the same individuals.
