1 We investigated the effect of two neurosteroids, pregnenolone and dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate on lipopolysaccharide-induced tumor necrosis factor (TNF) production in vivo and in vitro. Dehydroepiandrosterone Sulfate tumor necrosis factor Homo sapiens
2 We investigated the effect of two neurosteroids, pregnenolone and dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate on lipopolysaccharide-induced tumor necrosis factor (TNF) production in vivo and in vitro. Dehydroepiandrosterone Sulfate tumor necrosis factor Homo sapiens
3 Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate and pregnenolone (10(-6)-10(-4) M) inhibited TNF production in vitro by lipopolysaccharide-stimulated human peripheral blood mononuclear cells or by the human THP-1 cell line, suggesting that this action might also be relevant in humans. Dehydroepiandrosterone Sulfate tumor necrosis factor Homo sapiens
4 (2) The inhibitory effect of dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate and pregnenolone on TNF production was not reversed by the glucocorticoid receptor antagonist, mifepristone (RU38486). Dehydroepiandrosterone Sulfate tumor necrosis factor Homo sapiens
