research Allopregnanolone is required for prepulse inhibition deficits induced by D1 dopamine receptor activation
Allopregnanolone is needed for certain brain processing issues caused by D1 dopamine receptor activation.
research Mechanism of progesterone neuroprotection of rat cerebellar Purkinje cells following oxygen–glucose deprivation
Progesterone protects rat brain cells by enhancing GABA A receptor activity.
research Neuronal plasticity of the “brain–skin connection”: stress-triggered up-regulation of neuropeptides in dorsal root ganglia and skin via nerve growth factor-dependent pathways
Stress increases certain chemicals in the skin and nerves, which might worsen skin conditions.
research Studies on neurosteroids XXIV. Determination of neuroactive androgens, androsterone and 5α‐androstane‐3α,17β‐diol, in rat brain and serum using liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry
The methods accurately measured brain androgens, showing most 5α-androstane-3α,17β-diol comes from outside the brain, while androsterone is both transported and made in the brain.
research Increased expression of the gene for the Y1 receptor of neuropeptide Y in the amygdala and paraventricular nucleus of Y1R/LacZ transgenic mice in response to restraint stress
Acute stress increases Y1 receptor gene expression in certain brain areas, but repeated stress does not.
