research Palmitoylethanolamide Stimulation Induces Allopregnanolone Synthesis in C6 Cells and Primary Astrocytes: Involvement of Peroxisome-Proliferator Activated Receptor-α
PEA boosts allopregnanolone production and reduces oxidative stress in brain cells.
research Interaction between early postnatal neurosteroid manipulations and adult infusion of neurosteroids into CA1 hippocampal region on the open field behaviour
Early neurosteroid changes can alter adult brain function and behavior.
research 5α-Reductase Inhibition Prevents the Luteal Phase Increase in Plasma Allopregnanolone Levels and Mitigates Symptoms in Women with Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder
High-dose dutasteride reduces PMDD symptoms by stabilizing neurosteroid levels.
research Neuroactive steroids induce changes in fetal sheep behavior during normoxic and asphyxic states
Neurosteroids help protect fetal brains from asphyxia damage.
research Respiratory regulation by steroids in newborn rats: a sex‐specific balance between allopregnanolone and progesterone receptors
Breathing in newborn rats is affected differently by hormones based on their sex.
research Neonatal allopregnanolone or finasteride administration modifies hippocampal K+ Cl− co-transporter expression during early development in male rats
Allopregnanolone increases KCC2 expression in baby male rats' brains, while finasteride doesn't affect it.
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 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 Effect of Neurosteroids on Basal and Stress-Induced Oxytocin Secretion in Luteal-Phase and Pregnant Sheep
Neurosteroids help regulate oxytocin levels, especially during stress and pregnancy, to protect against premature labor.
research Molecular Interactions of New Pregnenedione Derivatives
The new progesterone derivatives effectively inhibit 5α-reductase and bind to the androgen receptor.
research Implication of allopregnanolone in the antinociceptive effect of N -palmitoylethanolamide in acute or persistent pain
PEA reduces pain by increasing neurosteroid synthesis in the spinal cord.
research Effects of Restraint Stress and Allopregnanolone Inhibition on Amphetamine Locomotor Sensitivity
Targeting neurosteroids may help prevent drug relapse.
research Chronic progesterone treatment augments while dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate prevents tolerance to ethanol anxiolysis and withdrawal anxiety in rats
Progesterone increases alcohol tolerance and withdrawal anxiety, while DHEAS prevents them.
research Allopregnanolone mediates the exacerbation of Tourette-like responses by acute stress in mouse models
Stress worsens Tourette symptoms by increasing allopregnanolone levels.
research Brain allopregnanolone induces marked scratching behaviour in diet-induced atopic dermatitis mouse model
A brain-produced steroid causes increased scratching in mice with a skin condition similar to eczema.
research Increased anxiety‐like phenotype in female guinea pigs following reduced neurosteroid exposure in utero
Female guinea pigs exposed to less allopregnanolone before birth showed more anxiety-like behavior.
research Efficacy and tolerance of 2,3-diphenylcyclopropenone in propylene glycol versus 2,3-diphenylcyclopropenone in isopropanol – a novel formula designed for the treatment of alopecia areata
Both treatments helped hair regrowth in alopecia areata, with isopropanol being better tolerated.
research Mechanism of progesterone neuroprotection of rat cerebellar Purkinje cells following oxygen–glucose deprivation
Progesterone protects rat brain cells by enhancing GABA A receptor activity.
research Relationships between cerebrospinal fluid GABAergic neurosteroid levels and symptom severity in men with PTSD
Lower levels of certain brain chemicals are linked to worse PTSD symptoms in men.
research Attenuation of 5α-reductase-mediated progesterone metabolism promotes differentiation of human endometrial stromal cells for the establishment of pregnancy
Reducing 5α-reductase activity helps endometrial cells differentiate, aiding pregnancy.
research Realising the therapeutic potential of neuroactive steroid modulators of the GABAA receptor
Neuroactive steroids show promise for treating mental and neurological disorders by targeting GABA_A receptors.
research Effect of Neurosteroid Withdrawal on Hippocampal GABA‐A Receptor α4‐Subunit Expression in Female Mice
Neurosteroid withdrawal increases α4 subunit expression in the hippocampus, which may relate to catamenial epilepsy in women.
research Ethanol intake patterns in female mice: Influence of allopregnanolone and the inhibition of its synthesis
Female mice are less affected by certain substances that alter alcohol consumption compared to male mice.
research 17α-Acetoxy-6-bromo-16β-methylpregna-4,6-diene-3,20-dione
