Acute stimulation of PBMCs drives switch from dopamine-induced anti- to proinflammatory phenotype of monocytes only in women by Leonie Fleige, Silvia Capellino

“…Moreover, B cells from men showed higher dopamine receptor (DR) expression, which was shown to be further increased by sex hormones only in men. In monocytes from women, an acute inflammatory stimulus via CpG combined with dopaminergic stimulation caused a switch to a proinflammatory phenotype, which was less pronounced in men. …”
