Immunoendocrine Insights Into Dehydroepiandrosterone by Cytokine Profiling in Sub-fertile Women Undergoing Intrauterine Insemination
Sub-fertile women on DHEA and treated with IUI had higher levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines and lower levels of anti-inflammatory cytokines than did healthy controls. The results suggested that certain immunological responses could help, and more research was needed to learn how cytokines influence fertility management.
