What hormonal immunity?

Hormonal immunity refers to the influence of hormones on the immune system's function and regulation. Hormones, such as cortisol, estrogen, and testosterone, can modulate immune responses, affecting inflammation, cell signaling, and the activity of immune cells. For example, cortisol, a stress hormone, can suppress immune function, while estrogen may enhance immune responses. This interplay highlights the complex relationship between the endocrine and immune systems in maintaining homeostasis and responding to pathogens.
