A novel role for the CYP7B1 enzyme in the regulation of male reproductive behaviors is suggested and seems to be due to their inability to distinguish olfactory cues from a behavioral estrus female.

Although psychobehavioral and neurochemical effects of DHEAS and androsterone differ in several aspects; both neurosteroids have rewarding properties at certain dose ranges, suggesting their likely involvement in addictions, which entail different mechanisms.

The putative psychotropic effect of the anabolic-androgenic steroid, testosterone propionate (TP), was determined in intact adult male rats after 1 or 2 weeks of continued exposure via subcutaneously implanted capsules and the agonist effects of reduced androgen metabolites at the GABAA receptor and the possible development of tolerance to these effects are discussed.
