Research Abstract

In this study, anti-inflammatory control by sex hormones and its nuclear receptors were investigated based on quantitative PCR and microarray studies and transcription analysis in primary macrophages. It was suggested that each sex hormone exert overlapping and distinct sets of anti-inflammatory control, suggesting sex differences in nuclear receptor-mediated transrepression.
