Ketogenic diet, neurosteroids, and HMGB1-TLR4 signaling pathway are potential targets for new epilepsy treatments.
research Neurosteroids as Endogenous Regulators of Seizure Susceptibility
Stress increases neurosteroids that help prevent seizures.
research 5α-Reductase Isoenzymes: From Neurosteroid Biosynthesis to Neuropsychiatric Outcomes
Finasteride and dutasteride may cause depression and anxiety, especially in younger men.
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 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 Involvement of neurosteroids in the control of prolactin secretion in sheep under basal, stressful and pregnancy conditions
Neurosteroids affect prolactin levels in sheep differently depending on stress and pregnancy conditions.
research Effect of Neurosteroid Withdrawal on Spontaneous Recurrent Seizures in a Rat Model of Catamenial Epilepsy
Neurosteroid withdrawal increases seizure frequency in a rat model of catamenial epilepsy.
research Dependence of anxiolytic effects of the dipeptide TSPO ligand GD-23 on neurosteroid biosynthesis

research Reversal of caffeine-induced anxiety by neurosteroid 3-alpha-hydroxy-5-alpha-pregnane-20-one in rats
A neurosteroid can reduce caffeine-induced anxiety in rats.
research Treatment with and withdrawal from finasteride alter ethanol intake patterns in male C57BL/6J mice: Potential role of endogenous neurosteroids?
Finasteride affects alcohol intake in male mice, possibly due to neurosteroids.
research The neurosteroidogenic enzyme 5α-reductase modulates the role of D1 dopamine receptors in rat sensorimotor gating
5α-reductase affects dopamine receptors linked to sensorimotor gating, which may help understand disorders like schizophrenia.
research GABAergic neurosteroids mediate the effects of ethanol on long‐term potentiation in rat hippocampal slices
Ethanol blocks memory formation in rats by enhancing certain brain chemicals.
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 Neo-synthesis of estrogenic or androgenic neurosteroids determine whether long-term potentiation or depression is induced in hippocampus of male rat
DHT is needed for long-term depression, while E2 is needed for full long-term potentiation in male rat brains.
research Local Changes in Neurosteroid Levels in the Substantia Nigra Reticulata and the Ventral Tegmental Area Alter Chronic Ethanol Withdrawal Severity in Male Withdrawal Seizure‐Prone Mice
Ethanol withdrawal reduces the brain's response to certain calming steroids, making seizures harder to control.
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.
