Article Synopsis
- The study investigates sex differences in immune responses and outcomes after stroke, noting that while women experience more stroke deaths, men exhibit higher mortality rates when age and pre-stroke conditions are taken into account.
- Using aged mice, the researchers measured T cell responses, gut permeability, microbiota diversity, and neurological function post-stroke, revealing significant differences between male and female mice.
- Results showed that male mice had higher mortality rates, greater gut permeability issues, and worse neurological outcomes compared to females, particularly with increased levels of specific T cells and marked cognitive decline.
