Abstract

Background: It is known that sex hormones show modulatory effects on the central nervous system (CNS). Various CNS pathologies show sex-related differences in terms of rates, symptoms, and the course of the disease. Some of the functions of choroid plexus (CP) are under the control of sex hormones. The aim of this descriptive study was to evaluate sex effects on CP water channels.
