Analysis of 84 genes involved in the host response to bacterial infections. A HPBMs inoculated with S. aureus when compared to HPBMs inoculated with sterile saline of men and women. B HPBMs inoculated with S. aureus from men when compared to HPBMs from women. C HPBMs inoculated with S. aureus from DHT-treated women compared to HPBMs from Women. Analysis performed with the Human Innate and Adaptive Immune Responses PCR Array kit (Qiagen—SABioscience). Upregulated genes (green). Data are expressed as mean ± DPM. *p < 0.05 (non-parametric Mann–Whitney one-tailed test)
