research Effect of neurosteroid dehydroepiandrosterone on the higher nervous activity of old non-human primates
DHEA improved brain function and behavior in old monkeys and had additional health benefits.
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 Sex-dependent effect of a low neurosteroid environment and intrauterine growth restriction on fetal guinea pig brain development.
Reduced neurosteroids and growth issues can harm fetal brain development, especially in males.
research Temporal lobe epilepsy exacerbation during pharmacological inhibition of endogenous neurosteroid synthesis
Stopping finasteride improved seizure control, suggesting neurosteroids affect seizures and treatment.
research Role of neurosteroids in regulating cell death and proliferation in the late gestation fetal brain
Neurosteroids like allopregnanolone help control cell death and growth in the developing fetal brain.
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.
research The Dark Side of 5α-Reductase Inhibitors' Therapy: Sexual Dysfunction, High Gleason Grade Prostate Cancer and Depression
5α-reductase inhibitors can cause sexual problems, higher risk of aggressive prostate cancer, and depression.
research Expression and roles of steroidogenic acute regulatory (StAR) protein in ‘non-classical’, extra-adrenal and extra-gonadal cells and tissues
The protein StAR is found in 17 different organs and can affect hair loss and brain functions, but its full role is not yet fully understood.
research Finasteride Treatment Inhibits Adult Hippocampal Neurogenesis in Male Mice
Finasteride reduces new brain cells in male mice, possibly causing depression.
research Decreased Alcohol Consumption Among Former Male Users of Finasteride with Persistent Sexual Side Effects: A Preliminary Report
