Vitamin D is important for bones, hair, blood pressure, and breast development.
research The Potential of Ginkgo biloba as a Source of Biologically Active Compounds—A Review of the Recent Literature and Patents
Ginkgo biloba has health benefits but also contains toxic compounds, driving interest in its use in medicine and food.
research NFAT5 mediates hypertonic stress-induced atherosclerosis via activating NLRP3 inflammasome in endothelium
NFAT5 triggers atherosclerosis under stress by activating inflammation in blood vessels.
research Lansium domesticum—A Fruit with Multi-Benefits: Traditional Uses, Phytochemicals, Nutritional Value, and Bioactivities
Langsat fruit has health benefits like fighting malaria, bacteria, and aging, but its peel is toxic.
research Mechanisms of Action of Dehydroepiandrosterone
DHEA affects various tissues by interacting with multiple receptors and can be converted into sex hormones.
research Anesthetic effects of progesterone are undiminished in progesterone receptor knockout mice
Progesterone's anesthetic effects don't rely on progesterone receptors.
research Neurosteroids Involved in Regulating Inhibition in the Inferior Colliculus
Neurosteroids help balance brain signals when certain inhibitions are reduced.
research Lack of evidence of a role for the neurosteroid allopregnanolone in ethanol-induced reward and c-fos expression in DBA/2 mice
Allopregnanolone likely doesn't influence ethanol's rewarding effects in these mice.
research Ovine placental steroid synthesis and metabolism in late gestation†
Diet changes hormone levels in pregnant ewes by affecting metabolism, not placental synthesis.
research New Insights into Testosterone Biosynthesis: Novel Observations from HSD17B3 Deficient Mice
Mice without the enzyme HSD17B3 still produce normal testosterone, suggesting they have different ways to make it compared to humans.
research Neurosteroid allopregnanolone attenuates development of nicotine withdrawal behavior in mice
Allopregnanolone may help prevent nicotine withdrawal symptoms.
research Progesterone Promotes Anti-Anxiety/Depressant-like Behavior and Trophic Actions of BDNF in the Hippocampus of Female Nuclear Progesterone Receptor, but Not 5α-Reductase, Knockout Mice
Progesterone reduces anxiety and depression in female mice by increasing BDNF in the brain, needing 5α-reduction and estradiol.
research Restricted effects of androgens on glucocorticoid signaling in the mouse prefrontal cortex and midbrain
Androgens can affect glucocorticoid signaling in specific mouse brain areas.
research Finasteride delays atherosclerosis progression in mice and is associated with a reduction in plasma cholesterol in men
Finasteride may lower cholesterol and slow heart disease progression.
research Androgens’ Effects across the Lifespan in Men and Animal Models
Androgens, male hormones, affect physical and mental functions, with a decrease leading to health issues like muscle loss, bone disease, and depression, and more research is needed on long-term effects and treatments.
research Extracellular Vesicles as Surrogates for Drug Metabolism and Clearance: Promise vs. Reality
Extracellular vesicles could help tailor drug treatments, but more research is needed.
research Pre-receptor regulation of the androgen receptor
Two enzymes regulate androgen receptor activity, affecting treatments for androgen insufficiency and benign prostatic hyperplasia.

Cell-based screening methods are useful and cost-effective for drug discovery but have pros and cons.
research 5α-Reductases In Human Physiology: an Unfolding Story
We need to learn more about 5α-reductases and neuroactive steroids to safely make drugs targeting these enzymes.
research Allopregnanolone in the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis modulates contextual fear in rats
Allopregnanolone affects fear responses differently in male and female rats, possibly explaining sex differences in anxiety disorders.
research Neuroactive steroids induce changes in fetal sheep behavior during normoxic and asphyxic states
Neurosteroids help protect fetal brains from asphyxia damage.

Social isolation makes mice more sensitive to alcohol's effects on brain function.
research Pharmacology of Natural Volatiles and Essential Oils in Food, Therapy, and Disease Prophylaxis
Natural volatiles and essential oils have health benefits and can enhance the effects of some medicines, but more research is needed to understand how they work and their possible side effects.
research Activation of extrasynaptic δ-GABAA receptors globally or within the posterior-VTA has estrous-dependent effects on consumption of alcohol and estrous-independent effects on locomotion
δ-GABAA receptors affect alcohol consumption based on the estrous cycle and influence movement regardless of the cycle.

Early neurosteroid changes can alter adult brain function and behavior.
research Mitochondrial dysfunction in diabetic neuropathy may be involved in the development of neuropathic pain via a reduction in neurosteroid synthesis
Mitochondrial problems in diabetic nerve damage might cause pain by lowering the production of certain nerve-related steroids.
