Finasteride can cause sexual dysfunction and depression, which may persist and require hormonal treatment.
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 Sex-dependent effect of a low neurosteroid environment and intrauterine growth restriction on fetal guinea pig brain development.
Reduced neurosteroids and growth issues can harm fetal brain development, especially in males.
research Behavioural characterization of Vitamin D receptor knockout mice
Vitamin D receptor knockout mice have significant motor impairments but no cognitive deficits.
research Restricted effects of androgens on glucocorticoid signaling in the mouse prefrontal cortex and midbrain
Androgens can affect glucocorticoid signaling in specific mouse brain areas.
research Social isolation‐induced increase in α4and δ subunit gene expression is associated with a greater efficacy of ethanol on steroidogenesis and GABAAreceptor function
Social isolation makes rats more sensitive to alcohol's effects on the brain.
research Ethanol-induced GABAA receptor alpha4 subunit plasticity involves phosphorylation and neuroactive steroids
Chronic ethanol increases certain brain receptor levels, influenced by steroids and protein changes.
research Adverse effects of 5α-reductase inhibitors: What do we know, don’t know, and need to know?

Finasteride use is linked to a higher risk of memory problems.
research Androgens’ Effects across the Lifespan in Men and Animal Models
Androgens, male hormones, affect physical and mental functions, with a decrease leading to health issues like muscle loss, bone disease, and depression, and more research is needed on long-term effects and treatments.
research Early postnatal inhibition of neurosteroid synthesis changes the later-life adverse outcome of neonatal asphyxia in rats
Finasteride reduced seizures and prevented cognitive issues in rats after neonatal asphyxia but increased anxiety later.
research Neurological post‐acute sequelae of SARS‐CoV ‐2 infection
Long COVID affects over half of COVID-19 survivors, causing a range of symptoms like fatigue and neurological issues, with no specific treatment yet.
research Testosterone modulation of seizure susceptibility is mediated by neurosteroids 3α-androstanediol and 17β-estradiol
Testosterone increases seizure risk through its conversion to specific neurosteroids.
research Anti-Amnesia-like Effect of Pinus densiflora Extract by Improving Apoptosis and Neuroinflammation on Trimethyltin-Induced ICR Mice
Pinus densiflora extract may help improve memory and reduce brain inflammation.
research Different Ligands of the TRPV3 Cation Channel Cause Distinct Conformational Changes as Revealed by Intrinsic Tryptophan Fluorescence Quenching
