Autoregulation of pituitary growth hormone messenger ribonucleic acid levels in rats bearing transplantable mammosomatotrophic pituitary tumors.

abstract：:Neurosteroids are steroids that are synthesized de novo in the brain and include some classical (adrenal and gonadal steroids) and some unique brain-specific steroids. Neurosteroids are thought to mediate their action through ion gated channel receptors such as gamma-aminobutyric acid(A) and N-methyl-D-aspartate rathe...
