Thus, NASs--such as
pregnane, androstane, and sulfated neurosteroids, all synthesized from cholesterol--are critical molecules with major neuropsychiatric activity.
B was also reduced in the IH group relative to that in the control group, but the difference was not statistically significant and was parallel to the expression of the
pregnane X receptor and constitutive androstane receptor.
There are two groups of families of neurosteroids: the inhibitory neurotransmitter receptor families of
pregnane neurosteroids that include allopregnanolone and aIlotetrahydrodeoxycorticosterone, and the excitatory neurotransmitter receptor families of androstane neurosteroids, such as androstanediol and etiocholanone.
Some PBDEs have been shown to cause
pregnane X receptor (PXR)--and constitutive androstane receptor (CAR)-mediated induction of liver enzymes responsible for thyroid hormone clearance, which might compromise brain development by causing thyroid hormone insufficiency (EFSA 2011; Costa and Giordano 2011).
The nuclear receptors
pregnane X receptor and constitutive androstane receptor contribute to the impact of fipronil on hepaticgene expression linked to thyroid hormone metabolism.
LS174T cells provide a suitable in-vitro model to test for the effect of
Pregnane X receptor (PXR), which mediates the induction of intestinal P-glycoprotein using rifampicin (10).
E- and Z guggulsterones of guggul gum are responsible for the hypolipidaemic activity and they act as the FXR antagonist a nuclear hormone receptor, a bile acid receptor (BAR) antagonist a member of the intracellular receptor superfamily and also inhibit human gene cholesterol 7-alpha-hydroxylase (CYP7A1) gene via activation of
pregnane X receptor (PXR).
Hidayat Hussain, Ahmed Al-Rawahi, Ghulam Abbas, Desmiflavasides A and B: Two new bioactive
pregnane glycosides from the sap of Desmidorchis flava.
5% hydrolysable tannins and 15-20% condensed tannins,
pregnane derivative, 2,6 b,7b-trihydroxy-4-methyl-19-norpregna-1,3,5(10)-trien-17-one, and
pregnane derivative, 11a,17a,21-trihydroxypregna-4,16(22)-diene-3,20-dione, has also isolated from P.
A second group of chemical sensors comprises nuclear receptors, such as
pregnane X, constitutive androstane, peroxisome proliferators-activated, liver-X, and farnesoid-X receptors, recognising a wide variety of xenoand endobiotics [12-14].
fimbriata can be bred for its HCA10 contents Melonyl Coenzyme A Slimaluma contents and
Pregnane glycosides.
