Neuroactive steroids could become safe, effective treatments with more understanding of their complex brain actions and metabolism.
research Altered resting-state activity in seasonal affective disorder
People with Seasonal Affective Disorder have different brain activity in certain areas when resting.
research Clinical features, with video documentation, of the original familial lewy body parkinsonism caused by α‐synuclein triplication (Iowa kindred)
The document describes a woman with familial Parkinson's disease due to a genetic mutation, showing severe symptoms and poor response to treatment, and suggests finasteride may help reduce symptoms in Tourette syndrome.
research Synaptic processes and immune-related pathways implicated in Tourette syndrome
The research suggests that Tourette syndrome is linked to both brain signaling and immune system pathways.
research Hedonic sensitivity to natural rewards is affected by prenatal stress in a sex-dependent manner
Prenatal stress changes how male and female rats enjoy rewards differently, linked to sex hormones.
research The Neurosteroidogenic Enzyme 5α-Reductase Mediates Psychotic-Like Complications of Sleep Deprivation
The enzyme 5α-reductase is key in causing psychotic-like effects from sleep deprivation.
research 5alpha-reductase inhibitors dampen L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia via normalization of dopamine D1-receptor signaling pathway and D1-D3 receptor interaction
Finasteride and dutasteride reduce unwanted movements from Parkinson's disease treatment by normalizing certain brain signals.
research Skin Manifestations Associated with Autoimmune Liver Diseases: a Systematic Review
Autoimmune liver diseases are likely linked to certain skin conditions like vitiligo and psoriasis.
research Regeneration of Chronic Wounds with Allogeneic Platelet Gel versus Hydrogel Treatment: a Prospective Study
Allogeneic platelet gel heals chronic wounds better than hydrogel.
research Allopregnanolone mediates the exacerbation of Tourette-like responses by acute stress in mouse models
Stress worsens Tourette symptoms by increasing allopregnanolone levels.
research Gilles de la Tourette syndrome – A treatable condition?
Gilles de la Tourette syndrome is treatable, with behavioral therapy as a recommended first option and other treatments available for more severe cases.
research Persistent Sexual and Nonsexual Adverse Effects of Finasteride in Younger Men
Finasteride can cause sexual problems and depression in young men.
research Consequences of steroid-5α-reductase deficiency and inhibition in vertebrates
Lack or blocking of SRD5a, a key component in hormone creation, can lead to conditions like pseudohermaphrodism and affect hair growth, bone mass, muscle strength, and reproductive health. More research is needed on its regulation from fertilization to adulthood.
research Physiopathological role of the enzymatic complex 5α-reductase and 3α/β-hydroxysteroid oxidoreductase in the generation of progesterone and testosterone neuroactive metabolites
The enzymes 5α-reductase and 3α/β-hydroxysteroid oxidoreductase help create brain-active substances from progesterone and testosterone, which could be used for treatment, but more research is needed to ensure their safety and effectiveness.
research Expression patterns of the glial cell line–derived neurotrophic factor, neurturin, their cognate receptors GFRα-1, GFRα-2, and a common signal transduction element c-Ret in the human skin hair follicles
Certain proteins and their receptors are more active during the growth phase of human hair and could be targeted to treat hair disorders.
research Identification of dual-purpose therapeutic targets implicated in aging and glioblastoma multiforme using PandaOmics - an AI-enabled biological target discovery platform
CNGA3, GLUD1, and SIRT1 are promising targets for treating aging and glioblastoma.
research Pathological findings in a case of stiff person syndrome with anti‐GAD antibodies
Finasteride significantly reduced tics and obsessive-compulsive symptoms in patients with Tourette syndrome.
