research Roles of steroid sulfatase in brain and other tissues
Steroid sulfatase is important for activating hormones that affect memory, brain function, and certain diseases, and could be a target for treating hormone-related disorders.
research Overexpression of the 18 kDa translocator protein (TSPO) in the hippocampal dentate gyrus produced anxiolytic and antidepressant-like behavioural effects
Increasing TSPO in the brain reduces anxiety and depression.
research Steroid sulfatase inhibitors
Steroid sulfatase inhibitors could potentially treat hormone-related disorders like certain cancers, hair loss, acne, and improve cognitive dysfunction.
research Molecular docking simulation studies on potent butyrylcholinesterase inhibitors obtained from microbial transformation of dihydrotestosterone
Metabolite 7 is a strong inhibitor for Alzheimer's disease management.
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 Reduced metabolites mediate neuroprotective effects of progesterone in the adult rat hippocampus. The synthetic progestin medroxyprogesterone acetate (Provera) is not neuroprotective
Progesterone protects brain cells, but Provera does not.
research Neurosteroids and epileptogenesis in the pilocarpine model: Evidence for a relationship between P450scc induction and length of the latent period
Neurosteroid production in the brain may delay seizure onset.
research Pharmacokinetic parameters and mechanisms of inhibition of rat type 1 and 2 steroid 5α-reductases: determinants for different in vivo activities of GI198745 and finasteride in the rat 3 3Abbreviations: r5AR1, rat 5α-reductase 1; r5AR2, rat 5α-reductase 2; and DHT, dihydrotestosterone.
GI198745 is more potent and longer-lasting than finasteride, potentially better for treating hair loss.
research Synthesis and Evaluation of 2‘-Substituted 4-(4‘-Carboxy- or 4‘-carboxymethylbenzylidene)-N-acylpiperidines: Highly Potent and in Vivo Active Steroid 5α-Reductase Type 2 Inhibitors
Compounds 15, 20, and 25 are strong inhibitors of human steroid 5α-reductase type 2.
research Antihormonal properties of some new A-homo-B, 19-dinor steroids of the androstane series
New A-homo-B, 19-dinor steroids showed strong antiandrogenic activity without affecting the enzyme 5α-reductase or androgen receptor binding.
research The prescribing cascade 3.0: a case for recreational drugs in HIV
Recreational drug use can cause misdiagnosed conditions and drug interactions in HIV patients.
research Increased expression of the gene for the Y1 receptor of neuropeptide Y in the amygdala and paraventricular nucleus of Y1R/LacZ transgenic mice in response to restraint stress
Acute stress increases Y1 receptor gene expression in certain brain areas, but repeated stress does not.
research Steroid sulfatase inhibitors
Steroid sulfatase inhibitors could help treat hormone-related disorders and cancers.
research [Neurosteroidogenesis and exploratory responses in rodents].
Certain substances can decrease or increase exploratory behavior in rodents.
research Generation of comparative pharmacophoric model for steroidal 5α-reductase I and II inhibitors: A 3D-QSAR study on 6-azasteroids
The study created a model to help design new inhibitors for steroidal 5α-reductase enzymes.
research Studies on neurosteroids XXIV. Determination of neuroactive androgens, androsterone and 5α‐androstane‐3α,17β‐diol, in rat brain and serum using liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry
The methods accurately measured brain androgens, showing most 5α-androstane-3α,17β-diol comes from outside the brain, while androsterone is both transported and made in the brain.
research Decreased allopregnanolone induced by hormonal contraceptives is associated with a reduction in social behavior and sexual motivation in female rats
Hormonal contraceptives may reduce social behavior and sexual motivation by lowering allopregnanolone levels.
research The Neurosteroidogenic Enzyme 5α-Reductase Mediates Psychotic-Like Complications of Sleep Deprivation
The enzyme 5α-reductase is key in causing psychotic-like effects from sleep deprivation.
research Progesterone-induced spike-wave discharges are inhibited by finasteride
Finasteride blocks progesterone's effect on brain activity linked to epilepsy.
research Allopregnanolone and Induction of Endogenous Opioid Inhibition of Oxytocin Responses to Immune Stress in Pregnant Rats
Allopregnanolone helps control oxytocin levels during pregnancy to prevent preterm labor.
research Recent advances in thiasteroids chemistry
New sulfur-containing steroid analogs show promise for more targeted medical treatments.
research Pharmacology of anabolic steroids
Anabolic steroids can build muscle and strength but have risks and need more research on their clinical benefits and side effects.
research Megestrol Acetate Increases the Proliferation, Migration, and Adipogenic Differentiation of Adipose-Derived Stem Cells via Glucocorticoid Receptor
Megestrol acetate helps fat-derived stem cells grow, move, and turn into fat cells through a specific receptor.
research Novel potential avenues for the therapy of Tourette syndrome: Cannabinoid- and steroid-based interventions
Cannabinoid and steroid-based drugs could be new treatments for Tourette syndrome, but more research is needed to confirm their effectiveness and safety.
research Anxiolytic activity of progesterone in progesterone receptor knockout mice
Progesterone reduces anxiety without needing progesterone receptors.
research Sexual dimorphism following in vitro ischemia in the response to neurosteroids and mechanisms of injury
Male tissue has more cell death than female tissue after ischemia, and some neurosteroids only protect female cells.
