From: Sex differences in stroke outcome correspond to rapid and severe changes in gut permeability in adult Sprague-Dawley rats

Serum levels of gut proteins/metabolites. Gut protein/metabolite levels were assayed in the serum as a surrogate measure of gut permeability. a Serum iFABP (15 kDa) was elevated after stroke in both males and females. b Serum LBP (60 kDa) shows a sex difference which was mainly due to the increased levels of the protein in male rats after MCAo compared to females. Serum levels of c LPS and d Mucin-2 were significantly elevated in males irrespective of stroke/sham group. n = 13 female MCAo, n = 5 male MCAo, n = 9 female sham, n = 6 male sham. aMain effect of stroke, bmain effect of sex, *p < 0.05
