research Neurosteroids on the Epilepsy Chessboard—Keeping Seizures in Check
Ketogenic diet, neurosteroids, and HMGB1-TLR4 signaling pathway are potential targets for new epilepsy treatments.
research Participation of GABAA, GABAB receptors and neurosteroids in toluene-induced hypothermia: Evidence of concentration-dependent differences in the mechanism of action
Toluene lowers body temperature through different mechanisms depending on the concentration.
research Glia-derived steroids modulate epileptogenesis in a model of temporal lobe epilepsy
Neurosteroids from glia cells help control seizure development in epilepsy.
research Randomized Placebo-Controlled Clinical Trial of Dutasteride for Reducing Heavy Drinking in Men
Dutasteride helps reduce heavy drinking, especially for those who drink to cope.
research Neo-synthesis of estrogenic or androgenic neurosteroids determine whether long-term potentiation or depression is induced in hippocampus of male rat
DHT is needed for long-term depression, while E2 is needed for full long-term potentiation in male rat brains.
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 Role of GABA-active neurosteroids in the efficacy of metyrapone against cocaine addiction
Neurosteroids may help metyrapone reduce cocaine addiction.
research Neurosteroid-sensitive δ-GABAAreceptors: A role in epileptogenesis?
Blocking neurosteroid production can lead to more seizures and faster epilepsy onset in rats.
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 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 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 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 Alleviation of Mechanical Allodynia by 14,15-Epoxyeicosatrienoic Acid in a Central Poststroke Pain Model: Possible Role of Allopregnanolone and δ-Subunit-Containing Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid A Receptors
14,15-EET may help reduce poststroke pain by affecting certain brain proteins.
research Corticosterone enhances the potency of ethanol against hippocampal long-term potentiation via local neurosteroid synthesis
Corticosterone makes ethanol more effective at blocking brain processes important for learning and memory.
research Epigenetic regulation of 5α reductase-1 underlies adaptive plasticity of reproductive function and pubertal timing
Environmental factors affect reproductive traits by altering the SRD5A1 gene.
research Involvement of neurosteroids in the control of prolactin secretion in sheep under basal, stressful and pregnancy conditions
Neurosteroids affect prolactin levels in sheep differently depending on stress and pregnancy conditions.
research Involvement of neurosteroids in the control of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis activity in pregnant sheep under basal and stressful conditions
Neurosteroids play a key role in controlling the brain-adrenal gland activity in pregnant sheep, both in normal and stressful situations.
research Immunological and Metabolic Causes of Infertility in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
PCOS causes infertility mainly due to hormonal imbalances, insulin resistance, and chronic inflammation.
research Alteration of Ethanol Drinking in Mice via Modulation of the GABAA Receptor with Ganaxolone, Finasteride, and Gaboxadol
Three drugs change mice's alcohol drinking patterns by affecting GABAA receptors.
research Treatment with and withdrawal from finasteride alter ethanol intake patterns in male C57BL/6J mice: Potential role of endogenous neurosteroids?
Finasteride affects alcohol intake in male mice, possibly due to neurosteroids.
research The Influence of Finasteride on Mean and Relative Spectral Density of EEG Bands in Rat Model of Thioacetamide-Induced Hepatic Encephalopathy

research Finasteride Blocks the Reduction in Ictal Activity Produced by Exogenous Estrous Cyclicity
research Divergent neuroactive steroid responses to stress and ethanol in rat and mouse strains: relevance for human studies
Stress and alcohol affect brain chemicals differently in rats, mice, and humans, influenced by genetic differences.
research Effects of Finasteride on Chronic and Acute Ethanol Withdrawal Severity in the WSP and WSR Selected Lines
Finasteride reduces alcohol withdrawal severity and anxiety in mice, but may increase withdrawal severity in some cases.
research Effect of the allopregnanolone and allotetrahydrodeoxycorticosteron on spike-wave discharges in the EEG of absence epilepsy rat models
The steroids allopregnanolone and allotetrahydrodeoxycorticosteron worsened absence seizures in rats.
research Valproate-Associated Transaminitis and Rhabdomyolysis
