This has a small but pertinent bit about the difference in inflammation between male hormones (less inflammatory) and female hormones (more inflammatory)
Personal anecdotal note: female hormones associated with fertility are also cell growth related hormones and can be associated with tumor growth in certain settings.
“Sex-chromosomes and hormones might drive changes in Treg-cell frequency and function. Young post-pubertal men have a more anti-inflammatory Treg-cell profile, which could explain inflammatory disease susceptibilities, and inform sex-tailored therapeutic strategies.”
I’m inferring female hormones are more inflammatory, generally.
