Abstract

In this study, we describe sex differences in our unique weanling rat model of increased RV pressure load by pulmonary artery banding. We are the first to assess temporal sex-related differences in RV adaptation during pubertal development. Female rats show superior RV function and less diastolic dysfunction and fibrosis compared with male rats. These differences are already present before puberty, indicating that the differences in RV adaptation are not only determined by sex hormones.
