Abstract:
Substance use disorders (SUDs), including cocaine use disorder (CUD), have significant negative health risks and impose a substantial social burden, yet effective treatments are limited. Pregnenolone, a neuroactive steroid precursor, has been shown to reduce alcohol craving and normalize stress biology in individuals with CUD, but its clinical utility has been questioned due to limited data on bioavailability and the stability of blood levels in humans. Thus, this pilot study aimed to determine whether twice-daily oral pregnenolone (PREG) at 300 mg/day and 500 mg/day versus placebo in week two

ABSTRACT Pregnenolone sulphate, pregnenolone, progesterone and 20α-hydroxy-4-pregnen-3-one concentrations in peripheral plasma of normal cyclic ewes were measured by radioimmunoassay. The concentrations of these steroids were correlated with that of progesterone. The concentrations of all the steroids measured in peripheral plasma varied in a cyclic manner and showed a significant (P <0·05) positive correlation with the concentration of progesterone. Peripheral plasma concentrations of these steroids in ovariectomized and ovariectomized, dexamethasone-treated ewes were also determined. The

The effect of calcium ionophore A23187 on the metabolism of pregnenolone to progesterone was examined in rat granulosa cells during a 24-h culture period. Granulosa cells harvested from pregnant mare's serum gonadotropin treated immature rats were incubated in the presence and absence of the divalent cation ionophore A23187. The ionophore induced progesterone synthesis from both endogenous sterol substrate and exogenous pregnenolone in a time- and concentration-dependent manner.

The clinical usefulness of doxorubicin (DOX) is limited by its serious adverse effects, such as cardiotoxicity. Pregnenolone demonstrated both anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activity in animal models. The current study aimed to investigate the cardioprotective potential of pregnenolone against DOX-induced cardiotoxicity. After acclimatization, male Wistar rats were randomly grouped into four groups: control (vehicle-treated), pregnenolone (35 mg/kg/d, p.o.), DOX (15 mg/kg, i.p, once), and pregnenolone + DOX.

Abstract The de novo production of steroids and neurosteroids begins in mitochondria by the conversion of cholesterol to pregnenolone through cytochrome P450 side-chain cleavage (CYP11A1) enzymatic activity. The C-terminal amino acid domain of the translocator protein (TSPO) has been demonstrated to bind cholesterol, thereby determining its mitochondrial translocation. The goal of the present study was to investigate the effect of the Ala147Thr single-nucleotide polymorphism localized in this TSPO region on pregnenolone production in healthy volunteers.

Abstract:
Pregnenolone is considered the inactive precursor of all steroid hormones, and its potential functional effects have been largely uninvestigated. The administration of the main active principle of Cannabis sativa (marijuana), ∆9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), substantially increases the synthesis of pregnenolone in the brain via activation of the type-1 cannabinoid (CB1) receptor. Pregnenolone then, acting as a signaling-specific inhibitor of the CB1 receptor, reduces several effects of THC. This negative feedback mediated by pregnenolone reveals a previously unknown paracrine/autocrine loop prot

Abstract Serum-free primary cultures of neonatal (1-day-old) porcine Leydig cells were used to study the effects of phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate and 1,2-dioctanoylglycerol on testosterone and pregnenolone production. Phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate alone from 0.001-10 μmol/l stimulated testosterone and pregnenolone production, whereas 1,2-dioctanoylglycerol alone had no effect on steroid production, relative to control. Phorbol12-myristate-13-acetate and 1,2-dioctanoylglycerol each inhibited pLH-stimulated testosterone and pregnenolone production. To further clarify the influence of these p

Abstract:
Steroid hormone levels are closely related to the endogenous circadian rhythm induced by sleep–wake and dark–light cycles. Shift work that disrupts the circadian rhythm may influence the levels of steroid hormones. The association between shift work and alterations in female sex steroid hormone levels has been studied, but little is known about testosterone and its precursor pregnenolone levels in male shift workers. The present study investigated serum pregnenolone and testosterone levels in a group of shift and daytime male workers. All participants were sampled at the beginning of the morni
