5α-reductase inhibitors can cause serious and possibly lasting sexual and psychological side effects.
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 Does Propecia Cause More Harms than Good: Assessing Reproductive and Non-Reproductive Effects of Finasteride on Male Health
Finasteride treats hair loss but may cause low libido, erectile issues, and depression.
research Is dehydroepiandrosterone a hormone?
Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is a prohormone important for producing sex steroids and has potential health benefits.
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 Sex‐dependent responsiveness of hippocampal neurons to sex neurosteroids: A role of Arc/Arg3.1
Sex hormones affect brain cells differently in males and females.
research Novel Synthetic Steroid Derivatives: Target Prediction and Biological Evaluation of Antiandrogenic Activity
New steroid compounds may help with hormonal therapy and have potential benefits for glucose disorders, but more research is needed.
research Functional Food Nutrients, Redox Resilience Signaling and Neurosteroids for Brain Health
Functional foods and nutrients like flavonoids, vitamin D, omega-3s, and probiotics can boost brain health and reduce stress.
research Anxiety-, and Depression-like Behaviour Following Short-Term Finasteride Administration is Associated with Impaired Synaptic Plasticity and Cognitive Behaviour in Male Rats
Short-term finasteride use in male rats caused anxiety, depression, and memory problems.
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 Pubertal hormones increase hippocampal expression of α4βδ GABAA receptors
Hormones during puberty increase certain receptors in the brain, and this change is influenced by estrogen levels.
research The Plastic and Functional Changes in Hippocampal Neurons During Pregnancy, Delivery and Postpartum are Reversed by Offspring Deprivation
Pregnancy and nursing increase certain brain activities in rats, but these changes disappear when the babies are taken away.
research The significance of CYP11A1 expression in skin physiology and pathology
CYP11A1 is crucial for skin health and disease by producing important steroids.
research TSPO ligand etifoxine attenuates LPS-induced cognitive dysfunction in mice
Etifoxine, an anxiety drug, can lessen brain inflammation and cognitive issues in mice, partly by increasing production of protective brain steroids.
research Role of allopregnanolone biosynthesis in acute stress-induced anxiety-like behaviors in mice
Blocking allopregnanolone production in mice makes them more anxious after stress, but this can be reversed with a drug that mimics allopregnanolone.
research Sex differences in steroid levels and steroidogenesis in the nervous system: Physiopathological role
Men and women have different levels and production of brain steroids, which may affect their risk for certain brain disorders.
