Assessment of neuroactive steroids in cerebrospinal fluid comparing acute relapse and stable disease in relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Previous studies have reported an involvement of neuroactive steroids as neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory agents in neurological disorders such as multiple sclerosis (MS); an analysis of their profile during a specific clinical phase of MS is ...

GABAergic neuroactive steroids: a new frontier in bipolar disorders?

open access: yesBehavioral and Brain Functions, 2012
Neurosteroids are synthesized in the brain and modulate brain excitability. There is increasing evidence of their sedative, anesthetic and antiseizure properties, as well as their influence on mood.

Endogenous neurosteroids influence synaptic GABAA receptors during post-natal development [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
GABA plays a key role in both embryonic and neonatal brain development. For example, during early neonatal nervous system maturation, synaptic transmission, mediated by GABA A receptors (GABA ARs), undergoes a temporally specific form of synaptic ...

Neuroactive steroids and peripheral neuropathy

open access: yesBrain Research Reviews, 2008
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.

Migraine and cluster headache show impaired neurosteroids patterns [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Background: Perturbation of neuronal excitability contributes to migraine. Neurosteroids modulate the activity of γ-aminobutyric acid A and N-methyl-d-aspartate receptors, and might be involved in the pathogenesis of migraine.
