From: Sex differences in the inflammatory response of primary astrocytes to lipopolysaccharide
Male and female astrocytes show a different regulation of TSPO levels after LPS exposure. mRNA levels of translocator protein 18 kDa (TSPO) and steroidogenic acute regulatory protein (StAR) in control and LPS-treated cortical astrocyte cultures from female and male mouse pups. Data are means ± SEM and are expressed as percentages of control female astrocytes. *P < 0.05, indicating significant difference compared with control female values.
