They tend to shift immune functions from cellular immunity to humoral (antibody) immunity, and this pattern predisposes […]

Multiple Sclerosis & Other Hormone-Related Brain Syndromes
by Ray Peat, PhD This article, from about 1994, gives more background, relating to the effects of estrogen; hypothyroidism typically increases adrenalin, estrogen, serotonin, and prolactin, and the estrogen difference probably accounts for why the incidence is two or three times higher in women than in men.
