research Neurosteroidogenesis Today: Novel Targets for Neuroactive Steroid Synthesis and Action and Their Relevance for Translational Research

123 citations , December 2015 in “Journal of Neuroendocrinology”

This review discusses recent strategies targeting the neuroactive steroid biosynthetic pathway to enhance neurosteroidogenesis, highlighting their potential benefits for neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric diseases, but reports no new clinical findings.

research Synthesis and Actions of 5α-Reduced Metabolites of Testosterone in the Nervous System

1 citations , December 2021 in “Androgens”

This review discusses the effects of neuroactive testosterone metabolites on CNS functions and suggests their potential as therapeutic options for neurological disorders, but reports no new clinical results.

research Witnessed trauma exposure induces fear in mice through a reduction in endogenous neurosteroid synthesis

July 2023 in “bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)”

In this study, researchers found that both direct and witnessed trauma in mice were linked to lower levels of the neurosteroid allopregnanolone, and that boosting neurosteroidogenesis may alleviate PTSD-like symptoms, suggesting potential treatment strategies for PTSD stemming from either trauma type.

research Effects of neonatal and adolescent neuroactive steroid manipulation on locomotor activity induced by ethanol in male wistar rats

7 citations , May 2017 in “Behavioural brain research”

This study found that manipulating neuroactive steroids during early development stages in male rats influences alcohol-induced locomotor sensitivity, suggesting their role in addiction vulnerability.

research Divergent neuroactive steroid responses to stress and ethanol in rat and mouse strains: relevance for human studies

November 2020

This review discusses the role of neuroactive steroids in physiological processes and their potential involvement in neuropsychiatric disorders, but it reports no new experimental findings.

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 risks with finasteride and dutasteride

138 upvotes 1 year ago

Finasteride and dutasteride have potential risks, including post-finasteride syndrome, but are commonly used for hair loss. RU58841, minoxidil, and needling are suggested as alternatives, though all treatments carry risks.

community Androsterone as a Neurosteroid Replacement Strategy for 5α-Reductase Inhibitor–Associated Sexual and Affective Dysfunction

in Research/Science 36 upvotes 2 months ago

Androsterone may help with sexual and affective dysfunction from finasteride by replacing disrupted neurosteroids without increasing androgenic side effects. Controlled testing is needed to confirm its effectiveness and safety.

community Creatine is the opposite of minoxidil !

324 upvotes 11 months ago

Creatine may counteract minoxidil's hair growth effects by closing potassium ATP channels, potentially leading to hair loss in predisposed individuals. Despite anecdotal reports, there is no conclusive evidence linking creatine to hair loss.
