Cerebral ischemic stroke is a leading cause of mortality and functional disability. However, unfortunately few effective treatments exist to counteract the deleterious pathological mechanisms triggered following an ischemic event. Epidemiological and experimental studies have revealed a significant difference in the vulnerability of males versus females to both the incidence of stroke and amount of resulting pathology following an ischemic stroke which is also dependent on the stage of lifespan. Here we review the evidence for gender differences in both the overall pathology and cellular mechanisms of injury following ischemic stroke. In addition, we discuss the evidence for any gender differences that may occur in the effectiveness of treatments and how this supports the need for the investigation and development of gender-specific therapies.
