In late pregnancy, allopregnanolone reduces stress responses in rats by affecting brain chemicals.
research Neuroendocrinology of the hair follicle: principles and clinical perspectives
Hair follicles are hormone-sensitive and involved in growth and other functions, with potential for new treatments, but more research is needed.
research Stress-induced Interaction of Skin Immune Cells, Hormones, and Neurotransmitters
Stress can worsen skin diseases by affecting immune cells, hormones, and neurotransmitters in the skin.
research Hippocampal 3α,5α-THP may alter depressive behavior of pregnant and lactating rats
Higher 3α,5α-THP levels in the brain may reduce depression in pregnant rats.
research Steroid Biomarkers and Genetic Studies Reveal Inactivating Mutations in Hexose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase in Patients with Cortisone Reductase Deficiency
