Sex-specific ultrasound imaging biomarkers of neurodegeneration in a mouse model by Mark B. Russell, Drew P. Locke, Haley M. Adams, Alexander R. Pelley, Rojan Saghian, Rojan Saghian, Alexandre S. Maekawa, Darcie Stapleton, Grace V. Mercer, John G. Sled, John G. Sled, John G. Sled, Lindsay S. Cahill, Lindsay S. Cahill

“…The highly reproducible progression of neurodegeneration in the decrepit (dcr) mouse allows investigation of early biomarkers and mechanisms of brain injury.MethodsUsing high-frequency ultrasound, the common carotid arteries of female and male dcr and control mice were imaged longitudinally at time points bracketing the disease progression (50, 75, and 125 days of age) (n = 6 mice/group/sex).ResultsOver the disease time course, the female dcr mice demonstrated increased carotid artery blood flow and pulse wave velocity while the male dcr mice had a decrease in heart rate and no change in carotid artery ultrasound parameters. …”
