Sex Differences in Stroke [PDF]

Journal of Cerebral Blood Flow & Metabolism, 2012
Sex differences in stroke are observed across epidemiologic studies, pathophysiology, treatments, and outcomes. These sex differences have profound implications for effective prevention and treatment and are the focus of this review. Epidemiologic studies reveal a clear age-by-sex interaction in stroke prevalence, incidence, and mortality.

Sex in the brain: hormones and sex differences

Dialogues in Clinical Neuroscience, 2016
Contrary to popular belief, sex hormones act throughout the entire brain of both males and females via both genomic and nongenomic receptors. Many neural and behavioral functions are affected by estrogens, including mood, cognitive function, blood pressure regulation, motor coordination, pain, and opioid sensitivity.

Comparative developmental genomics of sex-biased gene expression in early embryogenesis across mammals

Biology of Sex Differences, 2023
Background Mammalian gonadal sex is determined by the presence or absence of a Y chromosome and the subsequent production of sex hormones contributes to secondary sexual differentiation.

Sex differences in the effects of high fat diet on underlying neuropathology in a mouse model of VCID

Biology of Sex Differences, 2023
Background Damage to the cerebral vasculature can lead to vascular contributions to cognitive impairment and dementia (VCID). A reduction in blood flow to the brain leads to neuropathology, including neuroinflammation and white matter lesions that are a ...

X chromosome inactivation skewing is common in advanced carotid atherosclerotic lesions in females and predicts secondary peripheral artery events

Biology of Sex Differences, 2023
Background and aim Sex differences in atherosclerosis have been described with female plaques being mostly perceived as stable and fibrous. Sex-specific mechanisms such as mosaic loss of the Y chromosome in men have been linked to cardiovascular health ...
