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.
research Alterations in neonatal neurosteroids affect exploration during adolescence and prepulse inhibition in adulthood
Early-life neurosteroid changes affect adolescent exploration and adult behavior.
research Neurosteroids Involved in Regulating Inhibition in the Inferior Colliculus
Neurosteroids help balance brain signals when certain inhibitions are reduced.
research Increased anxiety‐like phenotype in female guinea pigs following reduced neurosteroid exposure in utero
Female guinea pigs exposed to less allopregnanolone before birth showed more anxiety-like behavior.
research Role of neurosteroid allopregnanolone on age-related differences in exercise-induced hypoalgesia in rats
Mild exercise reduces pain in older rats through a brain chemical, while intense exercise reduces pain in all rats through a different pain-blocking process.
research Benzothiazepines, diltiazem and JTV-519, exert an anxiolytic-like effect via neurosteroid biosynthesis in mice
Benzothiazepines like diltiazem reduce anxiety in mice by making neurosteroids.
research Advances in Knowledge of Androgens: How Intentional and Accidental Neurosteroid Changes Inform Us of Their Action and Role
Finasteride can have lasting negative effects on brain function and behavior by disrupting neurosteroid production.
research Effect of Neurosteroid Withdrawal on Hippocampal GABA‐A Receptor α4‐Subunit Expression in Female Mice
Neurosteroid withdrawal increases α4 subunit expression in the hippocampus, which may relate to catamenial epilepsy in women.
research Stress-Induced Deoxycorticosterone-Derived Neurosteroids Modulate GABAAReceptor Function and Seizure Susceptibility
Stress increases neurosteroids that help prevent seizures.
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 Neurosteroids in Adult Hippocampus of Male and Female Rodents: Biosynthesis and Actions of Sex Steroids
Sex steroids produced in the hippocampus are crucial for brain functions like memory and learning in rodents.
research Role of GABA-active neurosteroids in the efficacy of metyrapone against cocaine addiction
Neurosteroids may help metyrapone reduce cocaine addiction.
research The neurosteroid metabolite of progesterone, 3α‐OH‐dihydroprogesterone (3α‐OH‐DHP), is required for attenuated baroreflex mediated sympathoexcitation in pregnancy
3α‐OH‐DHP is essential for reducing nerve activity related to blood pressure control during pregnancy.
research Neurosteroids, neuroactive steroids, and symptoms of affective disorders
Certain steroids in the brain affect mood and symptoms of depression, and treatments targeting these steroids show promise for improving these symptoms.
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 Possible involvement of 5α-reduced neurosteroids in adrenergic and serotonergic stimulation of GFAP gene expression in rat C6 glioma cells
5α-reduced neurosteroids may help regulate glial cell differentiation.
research Rapid nongenomic modulation by neurosteroids of dendritic spines in the hippocampus: Androgen, oestrogen and corticosteroid
Sex and stress steroids quickly change brain cell structures in the hippocampus.
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 Inhibition of progesterone metabolism mimics the effect of progesterone withdrawal on forced swim test immobility
Blocking progesterone metabolism can cause depression-like behavior in mice.
research Midazolam Inhibits Hippocampal Long-Term Potentiation and Learning through Dual Central and Peripheral Benzodiazepine Receptor Activation and Neurosteroidogenesis
Midazolam impairs learning and memory by increasing neurosteroids through specific receptor activation.
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 Chronic progesterone treatment augments while dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate prevents tolerance to ethanol anxiolysis and withdrawal anxiety in rats
Progesterone increases alcohol tolerance and withdrawal anxiety, while DHEAS prevents them.
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 Differential Gene Expression in Post-Finasteride Syndrome Patients
Gene expression differences in PFS patients suggest a potential organic cause for symptoms.
research Ferulic Acid Inhibits Catamenial Epilepsy Through Modulation of Female Hormones
Ferulic acid can reduce seizures and depression-like behaviors in catamenial epilepsy by balancing hormones and brain enzyme activity.
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 Decreased Alcohol Consumption Among Former Male Users of Finasteride with Persistent Sexual Side Effects: A Preliminary Report
Finasteride use may lead to less alcohol consumption in men with lasting sexual side effects.

Post-finasteride syndrome causes lasting sexual, neurological, and physical side effects in some people after taking finasteride.
research Neonatal allopregnanolone or finasteride administration modifies hippocampal K+ Cl− co-transporter expression during early development in male rats
Allopregnanolone increases KCC2 expression in baby male rats' brains, while finasteride doesn't affect it.
