Pharmacological and Biophysical Characteristics of Picrotoxin-Resistant, δSubunit-Containing GABAA Receptors

open access: yesFrontiers in Synaptic Neuroscience, 2021
GABAA receptors (GABAARs) play a crucial role in inhibition in the central nervous system. GABAARs containing the δ subunit mediate tonic inhibition, have distinctive pharmacological properties and are associated with disorders of the nervous system.

Cell-specific and region-specific transcriptomics in the multiple sclerosis model: Focus on astrocytes. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Changes in gene expression that occur across the central nervous system (CNS) during neurological diseases do not address the heterogeneity of cell types from one CNS region to another and are complicated by alterations in cellular composition during ...

Novel receptor targets for production and action of allopregnanolone in the central nervous system: a focus on pregnane xenobiotic receptor

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2014
Neurosteroids are cholesterol-based hormones that can be produced in the brain, independent of secretion from peripheral endocrine glands, such as the gonads and adrenals.

Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) increases undirected singing behavior and alters dopaminergic regulation of undirected song in non-breeding male European starlings (Sturnus vulgaris)

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2023
IntroductionIt has been proposed that in species that defend territories across multiple life history stages, brain metabolism of adrenal dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) regulates aggressive behavior at times when gonadal androgen synthesis is low (i.e ...

Neurosteroid inhibition of cell death [PDF]

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Physiology-Renal Physiology, 1997
Diverse γ-aminobutyric acid (GABAA) receptor modulators exhibited novel cytoprotective effects and mechanisms of action in rabbit renal proximal tubules subjected to mitochondrial inhibition (antimycin A) or hypoxia. Cytoprotective potencies (50% effective concentration, EC50) were 0.3 nM allopregnanolone (AP) > 0.4 nM 17α-OH-allopregnanolone (17α ...

The brain of teleost fish, a source and a target of sexual steroids

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2011
Neurosteroids are defined as steroids de novo synthesized in the central nervous system. While the production of neurosteroids is well documented in mammals or amphibians, there is little information in teleosts, the largest group of fish.
