research Neurosteroids Are Endogenous Neuroprotectants in an Ex Vivo Glaucoma Model
A natural steroid in the body may protect against eye damage in glaucoma.
research Progesterone, neurosteroids, and the hormonal basis of catamenial epilepsy
Progesterone and related compounds may help control seizures linked to the menstrual cycle but have limitations that need addressing.
research Role of neurosteroids in the anticonvulsant activity of midazolam
Midazolam's seizure prevention is partly due to increased neurosteroid production.
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 Novel anticonvulsive effects of progesterone in a mouse model of hippocampal electrical kindling
Progesterone can reduce seizures without relying on the GABAA receptor pathway.
research The neurosteroid environment in the hippocampus exerts bi-directional effects on seizure susceptibility in mice
Neurosteroids in the brain can increase or decrease seizure risk in mice.
research A high-performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry assay of the androgenic neurosteroid 3α-androstanediol (5α-androstane-3α,17β-diol) in plasma
Testosterone increases 3α-androstanediol levels, which can be blocked by finasteride.
research Relating neurosteroid modulation of inhibitory neurotransmission to behaviour
Neurosteroids can influence behavior by modulating brain inhibition, with potential for treating psychiatric disorders.
research 11β-Hydroxylase inhibitors protect against seizures in mice by increasing endogenous neurosteroid synthesis
11β-Hydroxylase inhibitors help prevent seizures in mice by boosting natural neurosteroid production.
research Possible involvement of 5α-reduced neurosteroids in adrenergic and serotonergic stimulation of GFAP gene expression in rat C6 glioma cells
5α-reduced neurosteroids may help regulate glial cell differentiation.
research Investigation of the mechanisms of progesterone protection following oxygen–glucose deprivation in organotypic hippocampal slice cultures
Progesterone protects brain cells by converting to allopregnanolone and involving GABAA receptors.
research Finasteride treatment and neuroactive steroid formation.
Finasteride treatment can decrease certain steroids and increase others, possibly leading to depression symptoms in some cases.
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 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.
research Implications of neuroimaging for the treatment of epilepsy
Neuroimaging suggests that treatments targeting brain steroids could help control epilepsy, especially types linked to the menstrual cycle.
research Benzothiazepines, diltiazem and JTV-519, exert an anxiolytic-like effect via neurosteroid biosynthesis in mice
Benzothiazepines like diltiazem reduce anxiety in mice by making neurosteroids.
research The neurosteroid metabolite of progesterone, 3α‐OH‐dihydroprogesterone (3α‐OH‐DHP), is required for attenuated baroreflex mediated sympathoexcitation in pregnancy
3α‐OH‐DHP is essential for reducing nerve activity related to blood pressure control during pregnancy.
research ABSTRACTS—SYMPOSIA
Certain drugs can block changes in brain receptors caused by alcohol withdrawal.
research Witnessed trauma exposure induces fear in mice through a reduction in endogenous neurosteroid synthesis
Seeing trauma causes fear in mice by lowering their natural fear-reducing hormones.
research Hormones and Absence Epilepsy☆
Stress and hormones like progesterone can affect absence seizures, but their effects change with different life stages.
research Lactium: A Novel Drug for Psychocutaneous Skin Disorders
Lactium, a milk protein, can help reduce symptoms of skin disorders linked to stress and anxiety without side effects.
research Neurosteroids as Endogenous Regulators of Seizure Susceptibility
Stress increases neurosteroids that help prevent seizures.
research Divergent neuroactive steroid responses to stress and ethanol in rat and mouse strains: relevance for human studies
Different rat and mouse strains respond differently to stress and alcohol, which may help us understand similar human mechanisms.
research Synthesis and Actions of 5α-Reduced Metabolites of Testosterone in the Nervous System
Testosterone and its metabolites affect brain functions and could help treat neurological disorders.
research Neuroactive Steroids: Functions, Mechanisms of Action and Physiologic Relevance
Allopregnanolone may enhance alcohol's effects on dopamine neurons, influencing addiction risk.
research Stress-Induced Deoxycorticosterone-Derived Neurosteroids Modulate GABAAReceptor Function and Seizure Susceptibility
Stress increases neurosteroids that help prevent seizures.
research Neurosteroidogenesis Is Required for the Physiological Response to Stress: Role of Neurosteroid-Sensitive GABAAReceptors
Neurosteroids are crucial for stress response, and targeting specific receptors may help treat certain disorders.
research Inhibitory respiratory responses to progesterone and allopregnanolone in newborn rats chronically treated with caffeine
Combining progesterone with caffeine worsens breathing issues in newborns.
research Antidepressant-like effect of fluoxetine may depend on translocator protein activity and pretest session duration in forced swimming test in mice
Fluoxetine's effectiveness as an antidepressant in mice depends on a specific protein activity and a 5-minute pretest.
