7α-Hydroxypregnenolone (7α-OH PREG) is a newly identified bioactive neurosteroid stimulating locomotor activity in the brain of newt, a wild animal, which serves as an excellent model to investigate the biosynthesis and biological action of neurosteroids. Here, we show that acute

Seasonally-breeding amphibians have served as excellent animal models to investigate the biosynthesis and biological actions of neurosteroids. Previous studies have demonstrated that the brain of amphibians possesses key steroidogenic enzymes and produces pregnenolone, a precursor of steroid hormones, and other

The discovery of two novel avian neurosteroids in the quail brain, 7alpha- and 7beta-hydroxypregnenolone is described. Intracerebroventricular administration of 7alpha-hydroxypregnenolone, but not 7beta-hydroxypregnenolone was found to stimulate locomotor activity of male quail when spontaneous nocturnal activity is low.
