Novel mechanisms for DHEA action.
Dehydroepiandrosterone (3β-hydroxy-5-androsten-17-one, DHEA), secreted by the adrenal cortex, gastrointestinal tract, gonads, and brain, and its sulfated metabolite DHEA-S are the most abundant endogeneous circulating steroid hormones. DHEA actions are classically associated with age-related changes in cardiovascular tissues, female fertility, metabolism, and neuronal/CNS functions. Early work ...
متن کاملMechanisms of action of novel agents for prostate cancer chemoprevention.
Despite advances in the understanding of prostate cancer (PCa) growth and development, it is still the leading incidence of cases and the second leading cause of mortality due to cancer in men. The problem of early diagnosis compounded with the emergence of androgen independence during commonly used anti-androgen therapy of PCa, have been discouraging for optimal therapeutic response. Recently,...
متن کاملFipronil: mechanisms of action on various organisms and future relevance for animal models studies
Because insects had developed resistance to several insecticides, today, neonicotinoids and fiproles are used to combat pests. The difference between this two classes of insecticides is that fipronil acts by inhibiting the receptors of nervous cells, while neonicotinoids perturbs the neuronal transmission. The suitable properties of fipronil make that its use to be more obvious on the pesticide...
متن کامل[Dehydroepiandrosteron (DHEA) in the mechanisms of stress and depression].
There is growing interest in the role of Dehydroepiandrosteron (DHEA) in depression. To evaluate the validity of its administration in depression, the role of DHEA in the mechanism of depression and cardiovascular risk, as so the results of clinical trials must be considered. According to accessible literature, both concepts of depression--monoaminergic and glucocorticoid--are related. The key ...
متن کاملPsychological Mechanisms for Action
This thesis investigates the role played by regions of the prefrontal cortex and ventral striatum in the control of rats’ behaviour by Pavlovian conditioned stimuli, and in their capacity to choose delayed reinforcement. In this introduction, I will first consider the ways in which animals, particularly rats, represent in their brains relationships or associations between environmental stimuli ...
