What did studies of Female sex hormones find?
2Studies of Female sex hormones measured 2 outcomes; the most studied are cytotoxic mediator production (1 study) and IFN-gamma production (1).
Cytotoxic mediator production

Cytotoxic mediator production
no changein human cells1
Female sex hormones have no effect on cytotoxic mediator production in human cells.
“female hormones dose-dependently decreased IFN-γ production in T and NK cells but did not alter cytotoxic mediator production in these cells.”
