A comparative study of white matter volume between postoperative female-to-male transsexuals and healthy female

Cross-sex hormones in female-to-male (FtM) transsexuals play a crucial role in brain plasticity. Morphological study associated with white matter (WM) volume in postoperative FtM transsexuals receiving cross-sex hormones has not been published yet. This study was performed to discriminate the region...

description Cross-sex hormones in female-to-male (FtM) transsexuals play a crucial role in brain plasticity. Morphological study associated with white matter (WM) volume in postoperative FtM transsexuals receiving cross-sex hormones has not been published yet. This study was performed to discriminate the regional WM volume differences between postoperative FtM transsexuals and female controls using voxel-based morphometry (VBM) and further to assess the correlations between regional volume variations and cross-sex hormones. WM volume was assessed in 12 postoperative FtM transsexuals receiving cross-sex hormones with 16 age-matched female controls. WM volume was processed using SPM8 software with diffeomorphic anatomical registration via an exponentiated Lie algebra (DARTEL) algorithm. Serum sex hormones, including estriol, free testosterone (free-T), estradiol, follicle-stimulating hormone, and luteinizing hormone were measured. Postoperative FtM transsexuals showed significantly ( p
