Female sex protects against renal edema, but not lung edema, in mice with partial deletion of the endothelial barrier regulator Tie2 compared to male sex.

Renal gene expression of Tie2 and Tie1 was also higher in females compared to males, however, both did not reach statistical significance (both p = 0.09, Fig 3C and 3D ), whereas renal VE-PTP gene expression did not differ between female and male mice ( Fig 3E ).
