Physiological Effects of Immunity Against Reproductive Hormones
The book details many studies on the transfer of immunoglobulins across both the placental and intestinal barriers, the latter phenomenon being more important in some animals than in humans. Documented are the papers themselves, the discussions that followed and a useful amount of bibliographic material for further reading. There are numerous diagrams in the book which are well thought out and ...
متن کاملHormones and immunity in cancer: are thyroid hormones endocrine players in the microglia/glioma cross-talk?
Accumulating evidence indicates that the endocrine and immune systems engage in complex cross-talks in which a prominent role is played by thyroid hormones (THs). The increase of resident vs. monocyte recruited macrophages was shown to be an important effector of the TH 3,3',5'-Triiodo-L-thyronine (T3)-induced protection against inflammation and a key role of T3 in inhibiting the differentiatio...
متن کاملSex-associated hormones and immunity to protozoan parasites.
Numerous epidemiological and clinical studies have noted differences in the incidence and severity of parasitic diseases between males and females. Although in some instances this may be due to gender-associated differences in behavior, there is overwhelming evidence that sex-associated hormones can also modulate immune responses and consequently directly influence the outcome of parasitic infe...
متن کاملNetworking by small-molecule hormones in plant immunity.
Plants live in complex environments in which they intimately interact with a broad range of microbial pathogens with different lifestyles and infection strategies. The evolutionary arms race between plants and their attackers provided plants with a highly sophisticated defense system that, like the animal innate immune system, recognizes pathogen molecules and responds by activating specific de...
متن کاملFrom hormones to immunity: the physiology of immunology.
Discoveries in the physiology of immunology have increased at an increasing rate during the past two decades. It is now recognized that the immune system is just another physiological system that regulates, and is regulated by, other physiological systems such as the brain. These advances make it clear that recent findings in genomic biology must be interpreted in the context of the environment...
