ublxskimming the medrxiv paper, it seemed that while that was an initial suggestion, they later point a significance of testosterone that seemed independent of sex; and that thusly testosterone might have an interesting role to play in LC-related immune regulation (as well as generally)02:02
ublxsince a condition that drives testosterone low will provoke an attempt to mount a compensating boost in testosterone production, and since the male sex has a substantially greater capacity for such a compensation, one wonders whether this helps account for their reported sex-differences in LC burden02:13
