Differential sex-dependent responses of circulating steroid hormones and cortical gene expression in a preclinical traumatic brain injury model

Amberlyn Simmons, Sierra F. Wilferd, Sofia Campagnuolo…·Sarah E. Stabenfeldt

This study examines sex-dependent changes in circulating steroid hormones and cortical gene expression following traumatic brain injury in mice, revealing sex-specific alterations in hormone levels and gene expression related to immune and tissue responses.
