AG027714 "Cytokine Modulation by Follicle-Stimulating Hormone" 2006-2008. |
Research Description:
Investigating the role of the immune system in physiological adaptation, and
reciprocally, hormonal regulation of the immune response.
Current Investigations:
• Pituitary hormone regulation of cytokine production and cytokine receptor
expression.
• Cytokine regulation of bone density and vascular health in perimenopausal
women.
