research Dormancy in the stem cell niche
Some stem cells in the body rarely divide, which could help create better treatments for diseases and aging.
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 Immediate and Delayed Complications of Dexamethasone Cyclophosphamide Pulse (DCP) Therapy
DCP therapy causes side effects like weakness, flushing, headaches, and taste changes, but less frequently causes hypertension and diabetes.
research Physiopathological role of the enzymatic complex 5α-reductase and 3α/β-hydroxysteroid oxidoreductase in the generation of progesterone and testosterone neuroactive metabolites
The enzymes 5α-reductase and 3α/β-hydroxysteroid oxidoreductase help create brain-active substances from progesterone and testosterone, which could be used for treatment, but more research is needed to ensure their safety and effectiveness.
research TSPO activation modulates the effects of high pressure in a rat ex vivo glaucoma model
Activating TSPO helps protect the retina from damage caused by high eye pressure in glaucoma.
research 25 years of ERβ: a personal journey
ERβ has potential in treating prostate cancer and neurodegenerative diseases, but human studies are needed before clinical use.
research Deoxycorticosterone’s anticonvulsant effects in infant rats are blocked by finasteride, but not by indomethacin
Finasteride blocks deoxycorticosterone's anticonvulsant effects in infant rats, but indomethacin doesn't.
research Finasteride administration potentiates the disruption of prepulse inhibition induced by forced swim stress
Finasteride worsens stress effects on sensory processes, possibly linking to anxiety/depression.
research A microscopy-based small molecule screen in primary neurons reveals neuroprotective properties of the FDA-approved anti-viral drug Elvitegravir
The anti-viral drug Elvitegravir may protect brain cells from damage related to neurodegenerative diseases.
research Ethnopharmacological study about Glycyrrhiza glabra L. (Licorice) based on Ayurveda, An Indian System of Traditional Medicine- A Review
Licorice has many traditional health benefits, but more research is needed to fully support these claims.
research Androgenic modulation of arterial baroreceptor dysfunction and neuroinflammation in endotoxic male rats
Testosterone affects blood pressure control and inflammation in male rats with endotoxic shock, and blocking certain hormones may help treat it.
research Electrophysiological and Histopathological Effects of Minoxidil on Penicillin-Induced Epilepsy Model in Rats
Minoxidil did not significantly affect epilepsy in rats.
research AN OVERVIEW OF ANTI-INFLAMMATORY, ANTIOXIDANT, ANTI-CANCER, ANTI-HYPERLIPIDEMIC, NEUROPROTECTIVE AND MUSCLE RELAXANT EFFECTS OF NATURAL FLAVONOID, APIGENIN; A REVIEW
Apigenin, found in plants and vegetables, has many health benefits, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anticancer effects.
research Hormones and Absence Epilepsy☆
Stress and hormones like progesterone can affect absence seizures, but their effects change with different life stages.
research Analysis of the FGF gene family provides insights into aquatic adaptation in cetaceans
Whale genes show changes that help them live in water, like less hair and better flippers.
research The problems of alopecia in young women
Alopecia in young women improves with effective treatment.
research Neurosteroids Involved in Regulating Inhibition in the Inferior Colliculus
Neurosteroids help balance brain signals when certain inhibitions are reduced.
research The effects of GPR40 agonists on hair growth are mediated by ANGPTL4
GPR40 agonists help hair growth through the protein ANGPTL4.
research The role of pregnane neurosteroids in ethanol withdrawal: behavioral genetic approaches
Adjusting neurosteroid levels may help reduce alcohol withdrawal symptoms.
research Transcranial focused ultrasound-mediated unbinding of phenytoin from plasma proteins for suppression of chronic temporal lobe epilepsy in a rodent model
Using focused ultrasound on the brain can help epilepsy medicine work better in rats.
research S100A6 Protein—Expression and Function in Norm and Pathology
S100A6 protein is linked to disease progression, especially in cancers.
research Reduced estradiol synthesis by letrozole, an aromatase inhibitor, is protective against development of pentylenetetrazole-induced kindling in mice
Letrozole may help prevent seizures by reducing certain hormone levels.
research The atypical ‘hippocampal’ glutamate receptor coupled to phospholipase D that controls stretch‐sensitivity in primary mechanosensory nerve endings is homomeric purely metabotropic GluK2
A special receptor in sensory nerve endings helps control how they respond to stretching.
research Anticonvulsant Activity of Progesterone and Neurosteroids in Progesterone Receptor Knockout Mice
Progesterone's seizure-reducing effects are mainly due to allopregnanolone, not progesterone receptors.
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 Adverse effects of 5α-reductase inhibitors: What do we know, don’t know, and need to know?
