It is concluded that the pregnanolones have strong antiepileptic properties and the rapid onset of effect indicates that the steroids may interact with the neuronal function at the membrane or synaptic levels.

Preliminary Note Metabolism of Progesterone in Mouse Brain

Comparison of the chromatographic behaviour of the unknown metabolite with that of authentic progesterone derivatives suggested that this metabolite corresponds to 20-hydroxy-4-pre gnene-3-one, and subcellular fractionation of mouse brain demonstrated a particulate location for the 5~-reduction of progester one and a cytosolic location forThe unknown major metabolite.

The brain must be viewed not only as an important target for steroid effects, but also as a structure which possesses the machinery for synthesizing hormone precursors and for metabolizing both these precursor and hormones originating in the peripheral steroidogenetic glands, in order to fulfill specific functional requirements.

Anterior pituitary glands from diestrous and proestrous rats were incubated with 3H-progesterone and radioactivity extracted was characterized as progesterone, 5α-pregnane- 3,20-dione and 3α-hydroxy-5 α-pregnan-20- one by reverse isotopic dilution.

High and significant amounts of 5alpha-DHP are accumulated in pituitary and hypothalamus, but not in uterus, which suggests that its presence may be functionally important in governing progesterone-sensitive processes in these feedback tissues.

At birth, pituitary DHT and DIOL formation was equal in both sexes, but significant sex-specific changes occurred during development, and in females the formation of both metabolites rose dramatically with age to reach a peak value between 10 and 15 days; the latter values exceeded that obtained in adult prostate.
