APP models utilizing Prion promoter show higher APP levels in females than in males
The CaMKII-tTa:APP models lack sex-related differences in APP/Aβ levels
In this setting, females show enhanced atrophy of dentate gyrus of the hippocampus
Females also reveal earlier onset of deficits in conditioned freezing/hyperactivity
These sex dimorphisms might reflect a higher sensitivity of females to APP/Aβ
