In this study, we demonstrated that immunomodulatory effects of vitamin D(3) are significantly stronger in females than in males in multiple sclerosis patients, as well as in healthy subjects. Inhibition of self-reactive T cell proliferation and reduction in IFN-γ- and IL-17-secretin...

متن کاملGender-associated differences of perforin polymorphisms in the susceptibility to multiple sclerosis.
The granule-dependent exocytosis pathway is an important mechanism to induce apoptosis by CD8(+) T cells and NK cells and involves lytic molecules such as perforin. In the current study, we investigated the perforin 1 gene (PRF1) as a candidate for multiple sclerosis (MS) susceptibility in the Spanish population. We genotyped three PRF1 single nucleotide polymorphisms (rs885822, rs10999426, and...
