In this study, we examined the influence of finasteride (FIN), a 5alpha-reductase inhibitor, on the brain levels and metabolism of neurosteroids [allopregnanolone (AP), 3alpha-dihydroprogesterone (3alpha-DHP), progesterone (PROG), 20alpha-dihydroprogesterone and 11-deoxycorticosterone (DOC)] in rats exposed to immobilization stress. For this purpose, the sensitive, reproducible and accurate liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometric (LC-ESI-MS/MS) methods that… CONTINUE READING
