Neurosteroids are steroid hormones synthesised de novo in the brain and peripheral
nervous tissues. In contrast to adrenal steroid hormones that act on intracellular nuclear …

Neurosteroids are steroids synthesized within the central nervous system either from
cholesterol or by metabolic reactions of circulating steroid hormone precursors. It has been …

Electromagnetic fields (EMFs) inhibit the formation and differentiation of neural stem cells
during embryonic development. In this study, the effects of prenatal exposure to EMF on the …

To characterize the kidney in a high‐fat‐induced obesity model, we examined the renal
structure of adult Sprague–Dawley rats fed a control diet or a high‐fat diet for 3 months. Ten …

Purpose: To research the harmful effects of prenatal exposure of 900 megahertz (MHz)
electromagnetic field (EMF) on kidneys of four-week-old male rats and to determine …

The purpose of the present study was to determine whether exposure of neonatal rats to
formaldehyde (FA) had either early or delayed effects on the numbers of pyramidal cells in …

Because of increased use of cell phones, the purpose of this study was to investigation of
the oxidative damage caused by electromagnetic radiation (EMR) emitted by cell phones …

It is believed that neurosteroids are produced in the brain and other nervous systems. Here,
we show that allopregnanolone (ALLO), a neurosteroid, is exceedingly produced in the …

Methods: This study was carried out on 20 female Wistar rats (average weight: 180 g, aged:
two months). The rats were divided into four groups. Pregnant rats were orally fed with ACR …

Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are one of the environmental toxicants and neurotoxic
compounds which induce the production of free radicals leading to oxidative stress. Free …
