The present invention provides an improved means for regulating the immune response, for ameliorating effects of stress, and for avoiding untoward effects of chemotherapy or exposure to irradiation by administration of androstediol (AED) and androstenetriol (AET). The improved means of regulating immune response can be utilized in treating infectious diseases and immune diseases such as diabetes and chronic fatigue syndrome, both diseases now considered to be immune response related syndromes. These compounds can also be used to treat alopecia, intestinal disorders, immunosuppression induced by steroids, phasyngitis, hemorrhagic conjunctivitis, meningitis, exanthem, encephalitis, hepatitis, infantile, diarrhea, paralysis, pericarditis, myocarditis, diabetes or to increase the immune response against certain anemias or diabetes or to a vaccine immunogen.
本发明提供了一种通过服用雄二醇(AED)和雄三醇(AET)来调节免疫反应、改善应激影响以及避免化疗或辐照不良影响的改进方法。经改进的免疫反应调节方法可用于治疗传染性疾病和免疫性疾病,如糖尿病和慢性疲劳综合征,这两种疾病目前都被认为是与免疫反应有关的综合征。这些化合物还可用于治疗脱发、肠道疾病、类固醇引起的免疫抑制、咽炎、出血性结膜炎、脑膜炎、外膜炎、脑炎、肝炎、婴儿、腹泻、麻痹、心包炎、心肌炎、糖尿病,或增加对某些贫血症或糖尿病或对疫苗免疫原的免疫反应。
