As glucocorticoids regulate interferon-alpha ( IFN alpha ) production , we hypothesized that IFN alpha , a cytokine produced predominantly by monocytes in AIDS , should be increased in cortisol -resistant AIDS , attributing the lack of cortisol inhibition to IFN alpha production .
as glucocorticoids regulate interferon-alpha ( ifn alpha ) production , we hypothesized that ifn alpha , a cytokine produced predominantly by monocytes in aids , should be increased in cortisol -resistant aids , attributing the lack of cortisol inhibition to ifn alpha production .
