Figure 8. Summary of results:
1) Following moderate CIH, no changes were observed in GABA-labeled neurons in young males. 2) Aged males and severely hypoxic young males showed increased GABA-labeled neurons in the mPFC and hippocampal DG, with deferring effects on GABAergic neuron populations PARV and SOM. 3) Females did not show any changes in GABA-labeled neurons following CIH, but showed differences in GABAergic neuron population SOM following CIH but the direction depended on hormonal state and age.
