High Fiber Influences On Diabetes In Animal Model

80% Of Patients With Autoimmune Disease Are Female

Why?

Estrogen & Autoimmunity

  • The greatest association with autoimmune diseases is the female gender
  • 17?beta estradiol seems to play a role in activating T cells in autoimmune disease
  • T cells have ER?alpha receptors that are activated by 17?beta estradiol resulting in the production of inflammatory cytokines
  • Blocking ER?alpha receptors may have a beneficial effect on autoimmune activation
