MeSH Heading: Neurosteroids
Tree Number(s): D27.505.519.625.544; D27.505.696.577.544
Unique ID: D000081227
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D000081227
Scope Note: Endogenous compounds or drugs that affect neuronal excitability through modulation of specific ionotropic receptors (e.g., GABA-A RECEPTORS). Endogenous neurosteroids are steroid hormones de novo synthesized by neurons and glial cells from steroid metabolite precursors (e.g., PREGNENOLONE).
