Gender-Related Effects of Sex Steroids on Histamine Release and FcεRI Expression in Rat Peritoneal Mast Cells

Figure 5

FcεRI expression induced by IgE stimulation in the presence of E₂, P₄, T₄, and DHT. FcεRI relative expression induced by IgE stimulation in the presence of different concentrations of (a) E₂, (b) P₄, (c) T₄, and (d) DHT. Relative expression was calculated as MFI (hormone-stimulated)/MFI (unstimulated control). for males and for females.
