Cellular and molecular mechanisms of action of neurosteroids in various parts of the central nervous system (Part 2)

Year: 2021

Type: article

Abstract: Neurosteroids (or neuroactive steroids) are a class of endogenous compounds which are synthesized in nervous tissue or\and able to modulate the brain functional activity, the class also includes steroids from gonads or adrenals, which are capable of migrating through the blood brain barrier to achieve their biological targets. The second part of the review is focused on describing multiply features of synthesis, functioning of such neurosteroids as progesterone, allopregnanolone, dehydroepiandrosterone and dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate as well as their targets, synthesized analogs.
