Study Summary

To determine cerebrovascular control mechanisms in humans and provide mechanistic knowledge to offer new sex-specific therapeutic options for cerebrovascular diseases. The current objective is to determine how sex and sex hormones influence CBF control in healthy young adults without confounds of age or disease. The central hypothesis is men exhibit reduced cerebral vasodilator function due in part to differences in COX signaling compared to women. Comprehensive CBF data from multi-modal MRI indicate the magnitude of sex differences-as well as the vasodilator mechanisms-are regionally distinct. Research confounding variables like aging and disease will be mitigated by comparing younger adults (18-40 years old).

Primary Outcome

CVC is the ratio between Cerebral Blood Flow (CBF) and blood pressure (BP). Change in CVC in response to hypoxia between male and female groups, where baseline CVC is subtracted from hypoxia CVC. Hypoxia typically lasts about 20 minutes. The hypothesis is that women will exhibit 50-60% more vasodilation in response to hypoxia \[Aim 1\].
