Similarly, in young females, two-tailed unpaired t-tests (with Welch’s correction applied when variances were unequal) showed significantly higher B7-H3 protein expression in the stroke groups than in controls on post-MCAO day 1 for the 57-kDa band ( p = 0.0046) and the 34-kDa band ( p = 0.0024), whereas the 53-kDa band did not reach statistical significance ( p = 0.0504).
