Interactions of sex-related factors on expression of GABA- and BDNF-related genes in the basolateral amygdala of stressed adult mice. a There was a significant sex chromosome complement by gonadal sex interaction for Sst, with a pattern for an increase in expression in gonadal males compared to gonadal females for XX mice and a pattern of a decrease in expression in gonadal males compared to gonadal females for XY mice. b There was a trend for an interaction of gonadal sex and hormone on Bdnf expression, with exploratory analysis revealing that testosterone decreased Bdnf expression only in gonadal females. Numbers at the base of the bars indicate N. For post hoc two-group comparisons: $$ p < 0.01. T testosterone, B blank, F gonadal female, M gonadal male
