This review focuses on neuroactive steroids' influence on GABA-ergic signaling and discusses challenges in developing them for various therapeutic uses, citing recent excitement from FDA approval of allopregnanolone for postpartum depression but reporting no new results.

The researchers found that inhibiting soluble epoxide hydrolase, either genetically or pharmacologically, delayed the onset of chemically induced seizures related to GABA antagonism in experimental models.

This study suggests that neurosteroids and compounds acting on GABA(A) receptors, like THIP, may modulate ethanol intake by influencing drinking patterns.

This study found that the 5α-reductase inhibitor finasteride affected phasic and tonic GABA A receptor-mediated currents differently in the thalamic reticular and ventrobasal nuclei of mice, suggesting endogenous neurosteroid modulation of these receptors.

This review discusses how neurosteroids acting on GABAA receptors may influence behavior and explores the potential for developing selective modulators for treating psychiatric disorders, but reports no new clinical results.

This study observed that acute stress in rats increased neurosteroid levels linked to enhanced GABA(A) receptor function, raising seizure thresholds, while similar effects were seen in mice with deoxycorticosterone administration.

Early-life neurosteroid changes affect adolescent exploration and adult behavior.

This study found that topical application of copper (II) albumin complex improved healing signs in rats with full thickness thermal burns, enhancing antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and pain modulating effects.

This review discusses the role of δ-subunit-containing GABA A receptors and neurosteroids in temporal lobe epilepsy, highlighting their plasticity and potential pharmacological implications, without reporting new clinical results.

This study suggests that extrasynaptic δGABA-A receptors may have a protective role in modulating the severity of catamenial-like seizures by influencing neurosteroid and benzodiazepine responses in mice.

This study found that deoxycorticosterone-derived neurosteroids modulate GABA A receptor function and may influence stress-induced changes in seizure susceptibility by elevating seizure thresholds in animal models.

This review explores the potential role of pregnane neurosteroids in modulating alcohol withdrawal symptoms, suggesting a therapeutic target for treating alcohol dependence, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that inhibiting neurosteroidogenesis affected GABA A receptor-mediated synaptic inhibition in immature rats but not in adults, suggesting age-dependent modulation of synaptic strength in the spinal dorsal horn.

This study found that Asiasari radix extract may reduce hyperalgesia in mice by modulating NMDA and GABAA receptor activities without affecting cyclooxygenase activity.

This study found that progesterone can increase glycine release in rat brainstem neurons through its conversion to allopregnanolone, which modulates presynaptic GABA receptor activity.

This study found that progesterone can inhibit spinal reflex potentiation in ovariectomized rats through GABA(A) receptor activity, mediated by neurosteroid metabolism rather than direct progesterone receptor action.

Neurosteroids may help metyrapone reduce cocaine addiction.

RY-023, a specific drug, can improve early stage memory learning without affecting general activity in rats, but it's less effective for later learning stages and doesn't impact memory recall.

This study demonstrated that stress-derived neurosteroid THDOC shifts from inhibiting to activating the HPA axis under stress, presenting potential therapeutic targets for stress-related disorders.

In this study, researchers developed a sensitive LC–MS–MS assay to measure 3α-androstanediol levels in rat plasma and observed that testosterone raises these levels via a 5α-reductase pathway.

In this study, chronic finasteride administration in near-term pregnant rats restored baroreflex control of renal sympathetic nerve activity to levels observed in non-pregnant rats.

This review proposes focusing on relationships between neuroactive steroids and psychiatric disorder symptoms, rather than relying on traditional disorder classifications, and reports no new clinical findings.

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 the neurosteroid allopregnanolone may play a crucial role in how ethanol affects neurons related to alcohol addiction vulnerability.

This study found that metyrapone and etomidate provide dose-dependent anticonvulsant effects against seizures, with delayed effectiveness linked to increased neurosteroid levels.

Progesterone increases alcohol tolerance and withdrawal anxiety, while DHEAS prevents them.

This study found that enhanced neurosteroid synthesis likely mediated by the translocator protein contributed to the anticonvulsant action of midazolam in mice.

This study found that in newborn rats treated with caffeine, progesterone increased apnoea frequency by inhibiting breathing, suggesting it may not be suitable for preterm neonates without addressing allopregnanolone's effects.

This study demonstrated that allopregnanolone administration caused significant scratching in atopic dermatitis mice, and ethanol-induced scratching may be linked to increased brain allopregnanolone levels.

In this study, researchers observed that reproductive experience in female rats altered fear memory and medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) activity, with pregnant and parous rats showing impaired fear recall compared to nulliparous controls, highlighting the influence of pregnancy-related neurosteroids on cognitive function and brain activity.
