Tuberculosis and sexual inequality: the role of sex hormones in immunity.

Critical reviews in eukaryotic gene expression - 1 Jan 2012

Zhao Yuzhong, Ying He, Demei Jiang, Xie Jianping

Abstract excerpt

The role of sex hormones is profound and diverse. The gender and age differences in TB incidences suggest a role of hormones. These data, together with their relevance to the epidemiology of tuberculosis, are gathered and analyzed in this review. The underlying network of hormones functionalities in TB is also proposed.
