This study found that progesterone's antiseizure effects in mice occurred primarily through conversion to allopregnanolone, rather than through the progesterone receptor, as evidenced by results in PR knockout mice.

This study found that neurosteroid withdrawal significantly increased hippocampal GABA-A receptor α4 subunit expression in female mice, confirming an association between neurosteroid withdrawal and altered receptor expression.

Progesterone reduces anxiety without needing progesterone receptors.

This study indicates that progesterone’s anesthetic activity in PR knockout mice is not due to progesterone receptors but is partially mediated by the neurosteroid allopregnanolone through GABAA receptor potentiation.

This study suggests that ovarian cycle-related progesterone and neurosteroids regulate α2-subunit expression of GABA-A receptors in the hippocampus through a pathway independent of progesterone receptors, potentially affecting brain conditions linked to the menstrual cycle.
