We report a mouse cDNA that encodes a 317-amino acid short-chain dehydrogenase which recognizes as substrates 9-cis-retinol, 11-cis-retinol, 5alpha-androstan-3alpha,17beta-diol, and 5alpha-androstan-3alpha-ol-17-one. This cis-retinol/androgen dehydrogenase (CRAD) shares closest amino acid similarity with mouse retinol dehydrogenase isozymes types 1 and 2 (86

17Beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases (17betaHSDs) convert androgens and estrogens between their active and inactive forms, whereas retinol dehydrogenases catalyze the conversion between retinol and retinal. Retinol dehydrogenases function in the visual cycle, in the generation of the hormone retinoic acid, and some

The reaction of epi-androsterone with cyanoacetyl hydrazine (2) gave the hydrazone derivative 3. The reactivity of 3 towards chemical reagents was studied to give pyridine, thiazole and thiophene derivatives.

The neurosteroids, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS) and androsterone, are implicated in drug addictions. We examined their influence on locomotor activity and reward in male Wistar rats, and on steroid and monoamine metabolism in the hippocampus and striatum. In the open field
