“…In this study, males displayed even higher levels of neutrophils, a finding that diverges from results reported for C aethiops sabaeus , C sabaeus, and A pigra , where females had higher levels of these cells than males. The secretion of endogenous glucocorticoids, which is induced by stress, causes the medulla to release mature neutrophils into the bloodstream, decreasing the migration of these cells to the tissues .…”
