- Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is followed by secondary neuronal degeneration, largely dependent on an inflammatory response. This response is probably gender specific, since females are generally better protected than males in animal models and human epidemiological studies of TBI. The reasons are not fully known. We examined aspects of the inflammatory response following experimental TBI in male and female rats to explore possible gender differences. A penetrating brain injury model was used to produce focal TBI in male (n=10) and female (n=10) rats. After 24 h and 72 h the brains were removed and subjected to immunohistochemical analyses and in situ hybridization. Cox‐2 mRNA was elevated in the perilesional area compared to the un‐injured contralateral side, and significantly higher in males compared to females at 24 h and 72 h (p
