Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of castration and sex hormone treatment on survival, anti-nucleic acid antibodies, and glomerulonephritis in nzb/nzw f1 mice.
TL;DR: Mice receiving androgen showed improved survival, reduced anti-nucleic acid antibodies, or less evidence of glomerulonephritis as determined by light, immunofluorescent, and electron microscopy, while opposite effects were observed in castrated mice receiving estrogen.
Journal ArticleDOI
Androgenic Hormones Modulate Autoantibody Responses and Improve Survival in Murine Lupus
TL;DR: The results suggest that sex hormones modulate immunologic regulation and that androgenic hormones are protective in murine lupus.

Journal Article
Beta-estradiol reduces natural killer cells in mice.

TL;DR: beta-estradiol was administered to mice continuously by diffusion from a silastic tube that was implanted subcutaneously at 4 weeks of age and the effects of estradiol were not dependent on the thymus, since estradio reduced natural killing in mice that had been neonatally thymectomized.
Journal ArticleDOI
Delayed androgen treatment prolongs survival in murine lupus.
TL;DR: It is suggested that androgens can still prolong survival and reduce immune complex deposition even when treatment is delayed to an age when disease is relatively established and after delayed androgen treatment, mice survive despite the presence of high levels of IgG antibodies to DNA.
