Pineal Neurosteroids: Biosynthesis and Physiological Functions

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2020
Similar to the adrenal glands, gonads, and placenta, vertebrate brains also produce various steroids, which are known as “neurosteroids.” Neurosteroids are mainly synthesized in the hippocampus, hypothalamus, and cerebellum; however, it has recently been

Neurosteroid biosynthesis and function in the brain of domestic birds

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2011
It is now established that the brain and other nervous systems have the capability of forming steroids de novo, the so-called neurosteroids. The pioneering discovery of Baulieu and his colleagues, using rodents, has opened the door to a new research ...

Glia–neuron interactions: Neurosteroids [PDF]

open access: yesEpilepsia, 2010
SummaryGlial cells have both beneficial and detrimental effects on recovery from brain damage and play a role in epileptogenesis. Herein, we summarize evidence indicating that the ability of astrocytes to produce neurosteroids that reinforce γ‐aminobutyric acid receptor A (GABAA) functions impinge on epileptogenesis, as shown in temporal lobe epilepsy ...

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.

Sexual steroids and functions of the brain [PDF]

open access: yesГинекология, 2017
Neurosteroids are endogenous modulators of nervous excitability. There is increasing evidence of sedative, anxiolytic, analgesic and anticonvulsant properties of neurosteroids.

Neurosteroids and GABAergic signaling in health and disease

open access: yesBiomolecular Concepts, 2013
Endogenous neurosteroids such as allopregnanolone, allotetrahydrodeoxycorticosterone, and androstanediol are synthesized either de novo in the brain from cholesterol or are generated from the local metabolism of peripherally derived progesterone or ...

Synthetic neurosteroids on brain protection

open access: yesNeural Regeneration Research, 2015
Neurosteroids, like allopregnanolone and pregnanolone, are endogenous regulators of neuronal excitability. Inside the brain, they are highly selective and potent modulators of GABA A receptor activity.

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 ...

TSPO: kaleidoscopic 18-kDa amid biochemical pharmacology, control and targeting of mitochondria [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The 18-kDa translocator protein (TSPO) localizes in the outer mitochondrial membrane (OMM) of cells and is readily up-regulated under various pathological conditions such as cancer, inflammation, mechanical lesions and neurological diseases. Able to bind

Defining the end point of status epilepticus: A scoping review and framework for standardization

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Status epilepticus (SE) is a life‐threatening neurological emergency with consensus‐driven definitions for onset but no standardized criteria for its end point. This gap creates uncertainty in research and clinical practice. We conducted a scoping review to evaluate how end points have been defined in SE research and to identify key areas of ...
