research Effects of non-contingent cocaine on 3alpha-androstanediol. I. Disruption of male sexual behavior
Cocaine impairs male sexual behavior and alters testosterone metabolism in the brain.
research Simultaneous Determination of Selected Steroids with Neuroactive Effects in Human Serum by Ultrahigh-Performance Liquid Chromatography–Tandem Mass Spectrometry
A new method accurately measures nine neuroactive steroids in small blood samples, helping to study brain diseases.
research Allopregnanolone-mediated protective effects of progesterone on tributyltin-induced neuronal injury in rat hippocampal slices
Progesterone protects neurons from damage by converting to allopregnanolone, which works through GABAA receptors.
research Neuroactive Steroids and Ethanol Exposure: Relevance to Ethanol Sensitivity and Alcohol Use Disorders Risk
Neuroactive steroids may affect the risk and treatment of alcohol use disorders.
research Replacement with GABAergic steroid precursors restores the acute ethanol withdrawal profile in adrenalectomy/gonadectomy mice
GABAergic steroid precursors reduce ethanol withdrawal symptoms in certain mice.
research 5α-Reductases In Human Physiology: an Unfolding Story
We need to learn more about 5α-reductases and neuroactive steroids to safely make drugs targeting these enzymes.
research Early postnatal neuroactive steroid manipulation differentially affects recognition memory and passive avoidance performance in male rats
Changing neuroactive steroids in baby male rats affects their memory and learning differently as they grow up.
research Effects of neonatal and adolescent neuroactive steroid manipulation on locomotor activity induced by ethanol in male wistar rats
Changing neuroactive steroid levels early in life can affect how adult rats respond to alcohol's stimulating effects.
research Effects of sex steroid hormones and their metabolites on neuronal injury caused by oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation in organotypic hippocampal slice cultures
Progesterone and testosterone protect brain cells from damage through specific pathways.
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 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 Allopregnanolone, the active metabolite of progesterone protects against neuronal damage in picrotoxin-induced seizure model in mice
research Reduced metabolites mediate neuroprotective effects of progesterone in the adult rat hippocampus. The synthetic progestin medroxyprogesterone acetate (Provera) is not neuroprotective
Progesterone protects brain cells, but Provera does not.
research Synthesis and Actions of 5α-Reduced Metabolites of Testosterone in the Nervous System
Testosterone and its metabolites affect brain functions and could help treat neurological disorders.
research Sexually dimorphic effect of progesterone and its reduced metabolites on the gene expression of myelin proteins in rat Schwann cells
Progesterone and its metabolites affect myelin protein expression differently in male and female rat Schwann cells.
research Neuroactive Steroids: Functions, Mechanisms of Action and Physiologic Relevance
Allopregnanolone may enhance alcohol's effects on dopamine neurons, influencing addiction risk.
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 Finasteride Blocks the Reduction in Ictal Activity Produced by Exogenous Estrous Cyclicity
research Interaction of chronic ethanol exposure and finasteride: sex and strain differences
Finasteride reduces alcohol withdrawal effects, especially in female mice.
research Persistent Sexual and Nonsexual Adverse Effects of Finasteride in Younger Men
Finasteride can cause sexual problems and depression in young men.
research 5α-Reductase inhibitors alter steroid metabolism and may contribute to insulin resistance, diabetes, metabolic syndrome and vascular disease: a medical hypothesis
Some hair loss and prostate drugs might increase the risk of diabetes and heart disease.
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 The Influence of Finasteride on Mean and Relative Spectral Density of EEG Bands in Rat Model of Thioacetamide-Induced Hepatic Encephalopathy
Finasteride may protect brain and improve behavior in rats with liver failure.
research Efectos de la alteración de los niveles de allopregnanolona durante periodos críticos del neurodesarrollo en la vulnerabilidad al consumo de alcohol
Early NAS level changes affect alcohol consumption vulnerability.
research Neuroactive steroid levels and psychiatric and andrological features in post-finasteride patients
Post-finasteride patients show changed neuroactive steroid levels, possibly causing erectile dysfunction and depression.
research New Nonsteroidal Molecules as Blockers of the Steroidogenic Pathway
New nonsteroidal molecules can potentially increase dihydrotestosterone in neurons by blocking certain enzymes, without affecting prostate and seminal vesicle weight.
research Neuroactive gonadal drugs for neuroprotection in male and female models of Parkinson's disease
Some hormone-related drugs may protect brain cells in Parkinson's disease differently in men and women.
research Progesterone Promotes Anti-Anxiety/Depressant-like Behavior and Trophic Actions of BDNF in the Hippocampus of Female Nuclear Progesterone Receptor, but Not 5α-Reductase, Knockout Mice
Progesterone reduces anxiety and depression in female mice by increasing BDNF in the brain, needing 5α-reduction and estradiol.
