Deskripsi
Altered monocyte responses and testosterone levels correlate, individually, with the pathogenesis of hepatic amebiasis in mice. Here the authors show that testosterone induces enhanced TNF/CXCL1 expression and stronger proinflammatory responses in both human and mouse monocytes to support an androgen-monocyte axis of inflammation regulation.
