research Androgen Affects the Inhibitory Avoidance Memory by Primarily Acting on Androgen Receptor in the Brain in Adolescent Male Rats

13 citations , February 2021 in “Brain Sciences”

This study found that in adolescent male rats, androgens enhance inhibitory avoidance memory, possibly by interacting with androgen receptors in the amygdala and hippocampus.

research Analysis of androgen receptor expression and activity in the mouse brain

May 2024 in “Scientific Reports”

In this study, researchers examined androgen receptor activity in the adult mouse brain and found specific expression in key brain areas, which could inform understanding of cognitive side effects in humans undergoing androgen deprivation therapy for prostate cancer.

research Effects of Subchronic Finasteride Treatment and Withdrawal on Neuroactive Steroid Levels and Their Receptors in the Male Rat Brain

33 citations , December 2015 in “Neuroendocrinology”

This study found that subchronic finasteride treatment in male rats altered neuroactive steroid levels and steroid receptor expression in the brain, with some changes persisting after drug withdrawal.

research Modulation of neuropeptide Y and Y₁ receptor expression in the amygdala by fluctuations in the brain content of neuroactive steroids during ethanol drinking discontinuation in Y₁R/LacZ transgenic mice

15 citations , November 2007 in “Journal of Neurochemistry”

In this study, ethanol discontinuation in Y 1 R / LacZ transgenic mice significantly decreased neuropeptide Y immunoreactivity and increased Y 1 receptor gene expression in the amygdala, with evidence suggesting an important role for the progesterone metabolite 3α,5α‐TH PROG in these changes.

research Sex Differences in Animal Models of Sodium-Valproate-Induced Autism in Postnatal BALB/c Mice: Whole-Brain Histoarchitecture and 5-HT2A Receptor Biomarker Evidence

9 citations , January 2022 in “Biology”

This study concluded that male mice are more susceptible to valproic acid-induced autism spectrum disorder than female mice, with noticeable differences in brain histoarchitecture and receptor protein levels.

community Is there a topical androgen receptor blocker so we don't have to fuck with the enzyme and destroy our allopregnanolone, but go and hit the end target straight?

in Treatment 44 upvotes 2 years ago

The conversation discusses topical androgen receptor blockers for hair loss, mentioning Clascoterone, Pyrilutamide, GT20029, and RU58841. Ketoconazole's effectiveness and application methods are also debated.

community After praising finasteride on this sub for a while I realised it gave me Brain Fog. I think its related to inhibiting GABA and interferring with mirtazapine (an antidepressant).

9 upvotes 6 years ago

Finasteride caused brain fog and reduced the effectiveness of mirtazapine for the user, leading them to stop finasteride and notice improvements in motivation and focus. The user suggests that finasteride might be incompatible with mirtazapine for some people and recommends mirtazapine for those experiencing mental fog from finasteride.

community How finasteride lowers brain's happiness steroid allopregnanolone and causes depression: systemic dihydroprogesterone crosses blood brain barrier, you don't even need finasteride and brain 5ar for that

288 upvotes 1 year ago

Finasteride may lower allopregnanolone levels, potentially affecting mood, but many users report improved mental health due to reduced hair loss. Experiences with finasteride and dutasteride vary, with some experiencing side effects and others finding them beneficial for hair retention and overall happiness.

community 5 alpha reductase type 1 is in brain tissue producing the main endogenous gabaergic allopregnanolone, not 2. How can finasteride as a 5ar2 lower that?

27 upvotes 1 year ago

Finasteride and dutasteride are discussed for hair loss, with concerns about their effects on neurosteroids and potential side effects like depression. Alternatives like topical estrogen and lifestyle changes are considered, with varying opinions on mental health and hair regrowth.

community Has anyone powered through the creatine shedding (via increased androgen receptor sensitivity) and stabilized?

9 upvotes 1 year ago

Creatine may cause increased hair shedding due to androgen receptor sensitivity, despite limited evidence. The user is using dutasteride and minoxidil and seeks advice on whether shedding will stabilize, with suggestions including GHK-Cu and RU58841.
