  • It seems probable that measurement of salivary E3 could adequately replace that of plasma unconjugated E3 in the assessment of fetoplacental function.

Steroid hormones in multiple sclerosis. [J Neurol Sci. 2005] - PubMed - NCBI - 0 views

  •  
    Pregnancy has a positive effect on MS patients, especially during the 3rd trimester.  Rebound of MS increases in the postpartum period.  Estriol is the dominant pregnancy estrogen.  Progesterone is also produced at high levels.  The withdrawal of these hormones in the postpartum period are likely to lead to this rebound in MS.

Gender and sex hormones in multiple sclerosis pathology and therapy - 0 views

  • It is now well recognized that the disease manifestation is reduced in pregnant women with relapsing-remitting MS
  • This occurs particularly during the third trimester when levels of estrogens (estradiol and estriol) and progesterone (see Table 2) are elevated up to about 20 times
  • This seems well correlated with a decrease in active white matter lesions detected by MRI
  • ...12 more annotations...
  • This clinical improvement is however followed by temporary rebound exacerbations at post-partum, when the hormone levels decline
  • a shift from Th1 to Th2 immune response, expansion of suppressive regulatory T lymphocytes and decrease in the number of circulating CD16+ natural killer (NK)-cells
  • Th1 lymphocytes secrete proinflammatory cytokines (e.g. IL-2, IFNgamma, lymphotoxin) while Th2 cells secrete anti-inflammatory cytokines (e.g. IL-4, IL-5, IL-10), which favor humoral-mediated responses
  • Th2 cytokines are associated with down-regulation of Th1 cytokines and this Th2 shift is believed to provide protection from allograft rejection during pregnancy as well as from Th1-mediated autoimmune disease
  • it is worth noting that the levels of other hormones with anti-inflammatory activity (1,25-dihydroxy-vitamin D3, norepinephrine, cortisol) also increase by 2 to 4 times during late pregnancy
  • 1,25-dihydroxy vitamin D3 induces regulatory T-cell function important for development of self-tolerance
  • breast-feeding does not alter the relapse rate in women with MS
  • Leptin is a pleiotropic hormone produced primarily by adipocytes but also by T lymphocytes and neurons
  • Several lines of evidence indicate that leptin contributes to EAE/MS pathogenesis, influencing its onset and clinical severity, by acting as a proinflammatory cytokine which promotes regulatory T cell (Treg) anergy and hyporesponsiveness, resulting in increased Th1 (TNFalpha, INFgamma) and reduced Th2 (IL-4) cytokine production
  • circulating leptin levels are increased in relapsing-remitting MS patients (men and women analyzed together) while the CD4+CD25+Treg population decreases
  • As the leptin plasma concentrations are proportional to the amount of fat tissue, obese/overweight individuals produce higher levels of leptin
  • Nielsen et al found that estradiol and progesterone exert neuroprotection against glutamate neurotoxicity, while MPA antagonizes the neuroprotective effect of estradiol and exacerbated neuron death induced by glutamate excitotoxicity

    very good review of the differences in MS and hormones between the sexes.

    Older study that found that E3 provides estrogenic signaling per macro molecular proliferation. This was a cell MCF-7 study. This study did not differentiate between ERalpha and ERbeta.

    recent study proves the scientific validity of sex hormone evaluation via saliva.  Most labs today use ELIZA.  The new future will be mass spectroscopy.

The Diagnostic Applications of Saliva- A Review - 0 views

  •  
    Fantastic article on the review of the clinical use of saliva testing.  Of note, is the extensive documentation of the validation studies of hormone saliva testing.  Clearly, if a physician is against saliva testing, it is because of a lack of knowledge on the subject.
