Neuroactive steroids in schizophrenia.
Schizophrenia is a psychiatric disorder with a complicated pathophysiology, involving many biochemical abnormalities in the brain. Because neuroactive steroids (NASs) modulate neurotransmitter systems that are implicated in the pathology of schizophrenia, recent research has focused on examining the role that NASs play in the illness. Although research in this area is relatively new, it appears...
متن کاملNeuroactive steroids and peripheral neuropathy.
Peripheral neuropathy, either inherited or acquired, represents a very common disorder for which effective clinical treatments are not available yet. Observations here summarized indicate that neuroactive steroids, such as progesterone, testosterone and their reduced metabolites, might represent a promising therapeutic option. Peripheral nerves are able to synthesize and metabolize neuroactive ...
متن کاملGABAergic neuroactive steroids and resting-state functional connectivity in postpartum depression: a preliminary study.
Postpartum depression (PPD) affects up to 1 in 8 women. The early postpartum period is characterized by a downward physiological shift from relatively elevated levels of sex steroids during pregnancy to diminished levels after parturition. Sex steroids influence functional brain connectivity in healthy non-puerperal subjects. This study tests the hypothesis that PPD is associated with attenuati...
متن کاملHypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis modulation of GABAergic neuroactive steroids influences ethanol sensitivity and drinking behavior
Activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis leads to elevations in gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-ergic neuroactive steroids that enhance GABA neurotransmission and restore homeostasis following stress. This regulation of the HPA axis maintains healthy brain function and protects against neuropsychiatric disease. Ethanol sensitivity is influenced by elevations in neuroactive ste...
متن کاملNeuroactive Steroids and Human Recombinant 1 GABAC Receptors
The -aminobutyric acid type C (GABAC) receptor is structurally related to the GABAA receptors, yet quite distinct physiologically and pharmacologically. Neuroactive steroids are known to be potent and efficacious modulators of the GABAA receptor, but they are less well characterized in their actions on the GABAC receptor. We have examined the actions of neuroactive steroids and analogs on 1 (GA...
