In the case of serum levels of LBP (60 kD), there was a main effect of sex (Fig. 4b, F(1, 29): 12.24; p = 0.0016); however, planned comparisons indicated that LBP levels were similar in sham and stroke females (p = 0.3452), while LBP was significantly elevated in stroke males as compared to shams (p = 0.025). The gene discussed is LBP; the disease is stroke disorder.
