neuroesteroide
Scope note: Compuestos endógenos o fármacos que afectan a la excitabilidad neuronal mediante la modulación de receptores ionotrópicos específicos (p. ej., RECEPTORES DE GABA-A). Los neuroesteroides endógenos son hormonas esteroideas sintetizadas de novo por las neuronas y las células gliales a partir de precursores metabólicos esteroideos (p. ej., PREGNENOLONA).

Scope note: Endogenous compounds or drugs that affect neuronal excitability through modulation of specific ionotropic receptors (e.g., GABA-A RECEPTORS). Endogenous neurosteroids are steroid hormones de novo synthesized by neurons and glial cells from steroid metabolite precursors (e.g., PREGNENOLONE).
