Abstract in brief

  • COVID-19 symptoms and death rates are higher in men than women, hinting that female reproductive hormones might offer some protection.
  • Estrogen, progesterone, and allopregnanolone, which are female hormones, have anti-inflammatory and immune-boosting effects, helping the body fight the virus.
  • These hormones also support the repair and growth of respiratory cells, potentially reducing the severity of COVID-19 symptoms.]
