brain | analysis of 3alpha-HSOR mRNA distribution in the mouse brain by in situ hybridization has shown that this enzyme is co-localized with 5alpha-R type 1 in neurons of the cerebral cortex, hippocampus, olfactory bulb, amygdala and thalamus. And 3alpha-HSOR immunoreactivity is largely distributed in both white and gray matters | Mus musculus | - |

malfunction | the expression of 5alpha-reductase (5alpha-R) and 3alpha-hydroxysteroid oxidoreductase (3alpha-HSOR) and the levels of progesterone and testosterone reduced metabolites show regional and sex differences in the nervous system and are affected by changing physiological conditions as well as by neurodegenerative and psychiatric disorders. A decrease in their nervous tissue levels may negatively impact the course and outcome of some pathological events. In other pathological conditions their increased levels may have a negative impact. Thus, the use of synthetic analogues of these steroids or 5alpha-R modulation have been proposed as therapeutic approaches for several nervous system pathologies. Changes in brain levels of PROG metabolites have been detected in Alzheimer's disease (AD) mouse models, such as the 3xTg-AD mouse | Mus musculus |

Thus, the use of synthetic analogues of these steroids or 5alpha-R modulation have been proposed as therapeutic approaches for several nervous system pathologies. Low plasma testosterone levels are significantly associated with increased risk of Alzheimer's disease in elderly men, while higher free testosterone levels in women are associated with lower cerebral Abeta positivity | Homo sapiens |
metabolism | the enzymatic complex 5alpha-reductase (5alpha-R) and 3alpha/3beta-hydroxysteroid oxidoreductase (HSOR) is expressed in the nervous system, where it transforms progesterone and testosterone into neuroactive metabolites. These metabolites regulate myelination, brain maturation, neurotransmission, reproductive behavior and the stress response. The expression of 5alpha-R and 3alpha-HSOR and the levels of progesterone and testosterone reduced metabolites show regional and sex differences in the nervous system and are affected by changing physiological conditions as well as by neurodegenerative and psychiatric disorders.

physiological function | the enzymatic complex 5alpha-R and 3alpha-HSOR colocalizes in glutamatergic and GABAergic neurons of the cerebral cortex, hippocampus, amygdala and thalamus, suggesting that metabolites so formed are relevant for neurotransmitter synthesis and the modulation of their activity in these cells. The metabolites of progesterone and testosterone formed by the action of the enzymatic complex 5alpha-R and 3alpha- or 3beta-HSOR have a profound physiological impact in the nervous system, because they are also ligands for a variety of neuronal and glial receptors that are not directly modulated by progesterone and testosteron. The reduced metabolites of progesterone are also involved in mood regulation. Actions of progesterone and testosterone metabolites in physiological conditions, overview. The enzyme is involed in regulation of the levels of progesterone and testosterone reduced metabolites in the nervous system.

Metabolite of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), 4-androsten-3alpha,17beta-diol, exerts europrotective effects in SH-SY5Y neuronal cells and in primary cortical neurons, inhibiting the phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase induced by amyloid beta peptide 1-42. Interestingly, this effect is mediated by both GABA-A receptor-dependent and independent mechanisms | Homo sapiens |
