Treatment groups | Neuronal damage score |
---|---|
(1) Normothermic controls (NCs) | 0 (0, 0) |
(2) Sham-operated, vehicle-treated heatstroke (SOH) mice | 2 (2, 2)* |
(3) Castrated, vehicle-treated heatstroke (CVH) mice | 0 (0, 0.25)** |
(4) Castrated, testosterone-treated heatstroke (CTH) mice | 1 (1, 1)*** |
*P < .05 in comparison to group 1; **P < .05 in comparison to group 2;
***P < .05 in comparison to group 3. Vehicle or testosterone was administered 14 days before whole body heating (WBH), and the tissue section was obtained for neuronal damage score assay 2.5 h post-WBH. Data are means ± SEM of 7 mice per group.
