The Synthetic Steroid Tibolone Decreases Reactive Gliosis and Neuronal Death in the Cerebral Cortex of Female Mice After a Stab Wound Injury.
MouseTBIPenetrating / ballisticC57BLFemaleOutcomes assessed 7 days after stab wound injury
Model: Stab wound injury to the cerebral cortex
By 7 days after stab wound brain injury, tibolone reduced the number of GFAP-positive astrocytes, Iba1-positive microglia and reactive-phenotype microglia, and reduced neuronal loss near the wound, compared with vehicle-injected animals.
