research Effect of finasteride on the ovulatory function of normal women
Finasteride doesn't affect ovulation in normal women.
research Advances in Knowledge of Androgens: How Intentional and Accidental Neurosteroid Changes Inform Us of Their Action and Role
Finasteride can have lasting negative effects on brain function and behavior by disrupting neurosteroid production.
research Targeting neurosteroid synthesis as a therapy for schizophrenia-related alterations induced by early psychosocial stress
A drug improved schizophrenia-like symptoms in stressed rats by changing brain steroid levels.
research Consequences of steroid-5α-reductase deficiency and inhibition in vertebrates
Lack or blocking of SRD5a, a key component in hormone creation, can lead to conditions like pseudohermaphrodism and affect hair growth, bone mass, muscle strength, and reproductive health. More research is needed on its regulation from fertilization to adulthood.
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 The connection of 5-alpha reductase inhibitors to the development of depression
5-alpha reductase inhibitors, like finasteride and dutasteride, may cause depression, but more research is needed to understand why.
research Suicidality Risks Associated with Finasteride, a 5-Alpha Reductase Inhibitor: An Evaluation of Real-World Data from the FDA Adverse Event Reports
Finasteride use may increase suicidality risk, especially in young men.
research The leaves of Crataeva nurvala Buch-Ham. modulate locomotor and anxiety behaviors possibly through GABAergic system
Crataeva nurvala leaves may help reduce anxiety and improve sleep.
research Role of neurosteroids in regulating cell death and proliferation in the late gestation fetal brain
Neurosteroids like allopregnanolone help control cell death and growth in the developing fetal brain.
research Ethanol‐induced elevation of 3α‐hydroxy‐5α‐pregnan‐20‐one does not modulate motor incoordination in rats
Ethanol-induced motor incoordination in rats is not affected by increased neuroactive steroids.
research Local Changes in Neurosteroid Levels in the Substantia Nigra Reticulata and the Ventral Tegmental Area Alter Chronic Ethanol Withdrawal Severity in Male Withdrawal Seizure‐Prone Mice
Ethanol withdrawal reduces the brain's response to certain calming steroids, making seizures harder to control.
research Inhibition of mitochondrial respiration prevents BRAF-mutant melanoma brain metastasis
Stopping mitochondrial respiration can prevent brain cancer spread in skin cancer patients, and plant compound β-sitosterol could help achieve this.
research Enhanced Sensitivity to Ethanol-Induced Inhibition of LTP in CA1 Pyramidal Neurons of Socially Isolated C57BL/6J Mice: Role of Neurosteroids
Social isolation makes mice more sensitive to alcohol's effects on brain function.
research Nucleus‐specific modulation of phasic and tonic inhibition by endogenous neurosteroidogenesis in the murine thalamus
Brain-made chemicals can control nerve cell function differently in various parts of a mouse's brain, which may help us understand neurological conditions.
research Inhibition of progesterone metabolism mimics the effect of progesterone withdrawal on forced swim test immobility
Blocking progesterone metabolism can cause depression-like behavior in mice.
research Androgens and ovarian function: translation from basic discovery research to clinical impact
Androgens are important for female fertility and could help in IVF treatment, but also play a role in causing PCOS.
research Modulation of neuropeptide Y and Y1 receptor expression in the amygdala by fluctuations in the brain content of neuroactive steroids during ethanol drinking discontinuation in Y1R/LacZ transgenic mice
Stopping alcohol after long-term use causes anxiety and changes brain chemicals.
research Neuroactive steroids induce changes in fetal sheep behavior during normoxic and asphyxic states
Neurosteroids help protect fetal brains from asphyxia damage.
research 5α-Reductases in Human Physiology: An Unfolding Story
Enzymes called 5α-reductases have many body functions and need more research to safely use inhibitors.
research Steroid 5α-Reductase as a Novel Therapeutic Target for Schizophrenia and Other Neuropsychiatric Disorders
S5αR inhibitors might help treat schizophrenia and other mental disorders but need more research.
research The gut‐microbiota‐brain axis: Focus on gut steroids
Gut bacteria affect steroid levels, influencing health conditions and potential treatments.
research Medications Most Commonly Associated With Erectile Dysfunction: Evaluation of the Food and Drug Administration National Pharmacovigilance Database
Certain medications, especially 5-α reductase inhibitors and neuropsychiatric drugs, are often linked to erectile dysfunction.
research Finasteride inhibits the progesterone-induced spike-wave discharges in a genetic model of absence epilepsy
Finasteride blocks progesterone's effect on absence seizures in rats.
research PR-independent neurosteroid regulation of α2-GABA-A receptors in the hippocampus subfields
Progesterone and its byproducts control a specific receptor in the brain independently of progesterone receptors, affecting conditions related to the menstrual cycle.
research Discriminating in favour of or against men with increased risk of finasteride-related side effects?
Finasteride treats baldness but may cause lasting sexual side effects.
research Midazolam Inhibits Hippocampal Long-Term Potentiation and Learning through Dual Central and Peripheral Benzodiazepine Receptor Activation and Neurosteroidogenesis
