a, b Quantitative analysis of the effect of LPS and tibolone on the phagocytosis of brain-derived cellular debris. Cy3 fluorescence intensity per cell in male and female astrocytes treated for 39 h with tibolone or control medium and the last 24 h with LPS and then incubated for 1 h with Cy3-conjugated brain-derived cellular debris. Data are presented as median ± ranges. Significant differences: ***p < 0.001 versus the control group of the same sex, ^%%%p < 0.001 versus the LPS group of the same sex, ^###p < 0.001 versus the same group of the other sex, being annotated in the group with higher median
