research 1. 2年間の低負荷レジスタンストレーニングが高齢者の筋機能に及ぼす効果(第134回日本体力医学会関東地方会)
Blocking 5α-reductase can reduce sleep deprivation-related behavioral issues in rats.
research Finasteride withdrawal induces anxiety-like behavior and novelty avoidance in adult male rats.
Finasteride withdrawal causes anxiety-like behavior in male rats.
research Finasteride treatment and neuroactive steroid formation.
Finasteride treatment can decrease certain steroids and increase others, possibly leading to depression symptoms in some cases.
research Persistent adverse effects of antidepressants
Antidepressants can cause long-term side effects like severe withdrawal symptoms and sexual dysfunction, which can last for months or years after stopping the medication.
research New steps forward in the neuroactive steroid field
Neuroactive steroids could become safe, effective treatments with more understanding of their complex brain actions and metabolism.
research ABSTRACTS—SYMPOSIA
Certain drugs can block changes in brain receptors caused by alcohol withdrawal.
research Effect of the allopregnanolone and allotetrahydrodeoxycorticosteron on spike-wave discharges in the EEG of absence epilepsy rat models
The steroids allopregnanolone and allotetrahydrodeoxycorticosteron worsened absence seizures in rats.
research Modulation of neuropeptide Y and Y1 receptor expression in the amygdala by fluctuations in the brain content of neuroactive steroids during ethanol drinking discontinuation in Y1R/LacZ transgenic mice
Stopping alcohol after long-term use causes anxiety and changes brain chemicals.
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.
research Post-steroid panniculitis: a lost and forgotten entity?
Post-steroid panniculitis is now rare because doctors taper steroids more carefully.
research Neuroactive Steroids: Functions, Mechanisms of Action and Physiologic Relevance
Allopregnanolone may enhance alcohol's effects on dopamine neurons, influencing addiction risk.
research Sigma 1 receptor-related neuroactive steroids modulate cocaine-induced reward.
Neuroactive steroids affect cocaine's rewarding effects through the sigma1 receptor.
research SHORT-TERM DIABETES IN THE BRAIN: EFFECTS ON NEUROACTIVE STEROIDS, CHOLESTEROL HOMEOSTASIS, AND MITOCHONDRIAL FUNCTIONALITY
Short-term diabetes can cause changes in brain steroids, cholesterol balance, and mitochondrial function.
research Social isolation alters GABAA receptors plasticity and function: effect of voluntary consumption of ethanol
Social isolation changes brain receptors and makes ethanol more impactful.
research Corrigendum to “Patients treated for male pattern hair loss with finasteride show, after discontinuation of the drug, altered levels of neuroactive steroids in cerebrospinal fluid and plasma” [J. Steroid Biochem. Mol. Biol. 146 (2015) 74–79]
Stopping finasteride for male pattern hair loss changes neuroactive steroid levels in the brain and blood.
research Divergent neuroactive steroid responses to stress and ethanol in rat and mouse strains: relevance for human studies
Different rat and mouse strains respond differently to stress and alcohol, which may help us understand similar human mechanisms.
research Regression of Pathologic Changes Induced by the Long-term Administration of Contraceptive Steroids to Rodents
Some steroid-induced health issues in rodents improved after stopping treatment, but hair loss and eye problems did not.
