Cell death was analysed in both the CA1 and dentate gyrus (DG) regions following OGD and inclusion of DMSO or distilled water (DW). In male-derived cultures, there was a significant increase in the amount of cell death, in both regions, following inclusion of DW (*P < 0.05 vs. OGD only; ^#P < 0.05 vs. OGD + DMSO). In female-derived cultures there was no significant differences in the amount of cell death between the treatment conditions. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM and n = 8–18 independent wells
