Research Abstract |
Rat fetal membrane-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) were transplanted into rat model of hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) intracerebrally. There were no statistically significant differences between MSC treatment and control groups in quantitative histological analysis. On the other hands, there were statistically significant differences on the degree of slowly progressive brain damage (SPBD) following hypoxic-ischemic insults after sexual maturation between male and female rats. Of the HI insult groups, the results of water maze task and the ipsilateral hemispheric areas did not differ by sex in the no-training groups, while they differed significantly by sex in the pre-training groups. In contrast to the task-specific differences in female groups, there were no differences based on training in the male groups. Taken together, it was considered that the progression of SPBD was related to at least in part through sex hormones. And also, it was considered that the responsibilities against exogenous factors might be different by sex.
