7alpha-Hydroxypregnenolone, a new key regulator of locomotor activity of vertebrates: Identification, mode of action and functional significance
Steroids synthesized de novo by the central and peripheral nervous systems are called neurosteroids. The formation of neurosteroids from cholesterol in the brain was originally demonstrated in mammals by Baulieu and colleagues. Our studies over the past two decades have also shown that, in birds and...
