Female guinea pigs exposed to less allopregnanolone before birth showed more anxiety-like behavior.
research The Impact of the 5α-Reductase Inhibitors (5α-RIs) on Male Sexual Function and Psychological Well-Being
5α-reductase inhibitors can cause serious and possibly lasting sexual and psychological side effects.
research 5α-Reductase Inhibition Prevents the Luteal Phase Increase in Plasma Allopregnanolone Levels and Mitigates Symptoms in Women with Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder
High-dose dutasteride reduces PMDD symptoms by stabilizing neurosteroid levels.
research Finasteride Treatment Inhibits Adult Hippocampal Neurogenesis in Male Mice
Finasteride reduces new brain cells in male mice, possibly causing depression.
research Allopregnanolone mediates the exacerbation of Tourette-like responses by acute stress in mouse models
Stress worsens Tourette symptoms by increasing allopregnanolone 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 The neurosteroid environment in the hippocampus exerts bi-directional effects on seizure susceptibility in mice
Neurosteroids in the brain can increase or decrease seizure risk in mice.
research Novel modulatory effects of neurosteroids and benzodiazepines on excitatory and inhibitory neurons excitability: a multi-electrode array recording study
Neurosteroids and benzodiazepines reduce neuron excitability, with lasting effects on inhibitory neurons.
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 Participation of GABAA, GABAB receptors and neurosteroids in toluene-induced hypothermia: Evidence of concentration-dependent differences in the mechanism of action
Toluene lowers body temperature through different mechanisms depending on the concentration.
research Inhibition of 5α Reductase Impairs Cognitive Performance, Alters Dendritic Morphology and Increases Tau Phosphorylation in the Hippocampus of Male 3xTg-AD Mice
Blocking 5α-reductase can harm memory and brain structure, and increase harmful brain changes in male mice used for Alzheimer's disease research.
research The 5α-reductase inhibitor finasteride increases suicide-related aggressive behaviors and blocks clozapine-induced beneficial effects in an animal model of schizophrenia
Finasteride raises suicide-linked aggression and stops clozapine's positive effects in schizophrenia animals.
research Molecular basis of androgen action on human sexual desire
Testosterone significantly affects sexual desire in both men and women, but its impact on women is more complex and influenced by psychological factors.
research Treating psychogenic nonepileptic seizures: Easier said than done
Progesterone treatment improved seizures in a woman with menstrual cycle-related epilepsy, but a wrong medication worsened her condition.
research Cytoprotective effects of paeoniflorin are associated with translocator protein 18 kDa
Paeoniflorin protects brain cells by involving a specific protein and neurosteroids.
research Implications of neuroimaging for the treatment of epilepsy
Neuroimaging suggests that treatments targeting brain steroids could help control epilepsy, especially types linked to the menstrual cycle.
research Finasteride-Induced Neuropsychiatric Reactions
Finasteride can cause serious mental health issues, so it's advised to avoid it for hair loss.
research Local synthesis and function of neuro-estrogen and neuro-androgen: impact on the hippocampus-related cognition and neuronal plasticity
Neurosteroids like neuro-estrogen and neuro-androgen are crucial for brain function and can improve cognition and protect against aging-related decline.
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 Post-Finasteride Syndrome – When will we Get the Courage to Fight the Dictating Pharma Industry – Despite Awareness of “Sexual, Neurological and Metabolic Side Effects in Young Men for Over a Decade”
Finasteride, a drug used for certain conditions, can cause serious side effects like sexual dysfunction, suicidal thoughts, and increased diabetes risk, and there's a need for more awareness and research about these effects.
research Inhibition of neurosteroid synthesis increases asphyxia-induced brain injury in the late gestation fetal sheep
Reducing neurosteroid levels worsens brain injury in fetal sheep.
