The Ability of Pregnenolone in Proliferation of Mouse Neural Stem Cells and Reduction of Inflammatory and Oxidant Markers after Induction of Inflammation with Lipopolysaccharide in Vitro [PDF]
Background & aim: Pregnenolone acts as a precursor to other steroid hormones and exerts its effect as an anti-inflammatory molecule to maintain immune homeostasis in various inflammatory conditions. In these diseases, a decrease in the level ofP has been

The "backdoor pathway" of androgen synthesis in human male sexual development. [PDF]
Mammalian sex determination (male versus female) is largely controlled by genes, whereas sex differentiation (development of reproductive structures) is largely controlled by hormones. Work in the 20th century indicated that female external anatomy was a
