Androgens predispose males to monocyte-mediated immunopathology by inducing the expression of leukocyte recruitment factor CXCL1

Altered monocyte responses and testosterone levels correlate, individually, with the pathogenesis of hepatic amebiasis in mice. Here the authors show that testosterone induces enhanced TNF/CXCL1 expression and stronger proinflammatory responses in both human and mouse monocytes to support an androge...
