The importance of sexual dimorphism the mouse brain metabolome was recently highlighted, in addition to a high regional specificity found between frontal cortex, cerebellum, and stem. To address origin this dimorphism, we performed gonadectomy on both sexes, followed by metabolomic study targeting 188 metabolites three regions. While sham controls, which underwent same surgical procedure withou...
