Abstract excerpt
Gender differences in neuropsychiatric disease are recognized but not well understood. Investigating the survival of primary rat hippocampal neurons in culture, we found significant and inverted gender differences on normoxia versus hypoxia. Male cells were more resistant under normoxia but more vulnerable under hypoxia than female cells. Male vulnerability pattern was acquired in cells from neonatally...
