research Pathophysiological mechanisms implicated in postpartum depression
Postpartum depression is linked to changes in brain chemicals, inflammation, stress, and certain genes, and can potentially be identified by markers like specific steroids, serotonin levels, and vitamin D levels.
research Dependence of anxiolytic effects of the dipeptide TSPO ligand GD-23 on neurosteroid biosynthesis
GD-23 reduces anxiety by relying on neurosteroid production.
research Finasteride inhibits the disease-modifying activity of progesterone in the hippocampus kindling model of epileptogenesis
Finasteride worsens seizures in epilepsy rats and speeds up epileptogenesis in mice.
research Glycol Ethers and Neurodevelopment: Investigating the Impact of Prenatal Exposures
Exposure to certain glycol ethers during pregnancy may be linked to lower verbal comprehension in children.
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 Inhibitory respiratory responses to progesterone and allopregnanolone in newborn rats chronically treated with caffeine
Combining progesterone with caffeine worsens breathing issues in newborns.
research Ultrastructural Characteristics of Neonate Scalp Hair
Neonate scalp hair is thinner, lacks a medulla, and has smaller follicles compared to adult hair.
research Antiepileptogenic effects of trilostane in the kainic acid model of temporal lobe epilepsy
Trilostane may help delay epilepsy development by increasing certain brain chemicals.
research Small Molecule Treatments Improve Differentiation Potential of Human Amniotic Fluid Stem Cells
Small molecule treatments improve the ability of human amniotic fluid stem cells to become different cell types.
research Witnessed trauma exposure induces fear in mice through a reduction in endogenous neurosteroid synthesis
Reduced neurosteroid production increases fear in mice, suggesting potential PTSD treatments.
research The Acute Anticonvulsant Effects of Deoxycorticosterone in Developing Rats: Role of Metabolites and Mineralocorticoid‐receptor Responses
Deoxycorticosterone and its metabolites help prevent seizures by interacting with specific receptors.
research Allopregnanolone mediates the exacerbation of Tourette-like responses by acute stress in mouse models
Stress worsens Tourette symptoms by increasing allopregnanolone levels.
research Relationships between cerebrospinal fluid GABAergic neurosteroid levels and symptom severity in men with PTSD
Lower levels of certain brain chemicals are linked to worse PTSD symptoms in men.
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 TOPICAL STEROIDS
Use mild topical steroids to avoid side effects, especially in children.
research Caffeine content in newborn hair correlates with maternal dietary intake
research Effects of Finasteride and DEHP on anogenital distance and nipple retention after perinatal exposure in rats
Finasteride and DEHP exposure during development can change reproductive markers in rats.
research A quantitative ultra-performance liquid chromatography high-resolution mass spectrometry analysis of steroids from human scalp hair
The method can measure multiple steroids in human hair to study long-term steroid metabolism, especially in newborns and children.
research Ovarian sex steroid receptors and sex hormones in androgenized rats
High doses of nandrolone decanoate disrupt ovarian hormones and receptors in rats, with recovery only at lower doses and longer recovery times.
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 Hormones in infant rhesus monkeys’ (Macaca mulatta) hair at birth provide a window into the fetal environment
research Maternal PPARγ protects nursing neonates by suppressing the production of inflammatory milk
A mother's PPARγ is crucial for preventing harmful milk that can cause inflammation and growth problems in babies.
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 Reply
The document concludes that doctors should monitor children's brain development when treating hemangiomas with interferon alfa and consider stopping the treatment if problems arise, while also exploring drugs that might counteract side effects.
research 2‐Deoxy‐d ‐glucose enhances tonic inhibition through the neurosteroid‐mediated activation of extrasynaptic GABA A receptors
2-DG reduces seizures by enhancing brain inhibition through specific receptor activation.
research Isolation rearing-induced reduction of brain 5α-reductase expression: Relevance to dopaminergic impairments
Isolation stress in rats reduces brain enzyme levels, affecting dopamine function.
research Review of the effects of 17α-estradiol in humans: a less feminizing estrogen with neuroprotective potential
17α-estradiol is a safe estrogen that might protect the brain and doesn't cause feminization, needing more research for treating brain diseases.
research Acne neonatorum and Familial Hyperandrogenism
Newborn acne may be linked to family history of high male hormone levels.
research New Nonsteroidal Molecules as Blockers of the Steroidogenic Pathway
New nonsteroidal molecules can potentially increase dihydrotestosterone in neurons by blocking certain enzymes, without affecting prostate and seminal vesicle weight.
