    Overexpression of the steroidogenic enzyme cytochrome P450 side chain cleavage in the ventral tegmental area increases 3alpha,5alpha-THP and reduces long-term operant ethanol self-administration (2014), J. Neurosci., 34, 5824-5834 .

Application

Application Comment Organism
medicine P450scc overexpression in the ventral tegmental area significantly reduces ethanol self-administration of alcohol preferring rats trained to self-administer ethanol, by 20% over the 3 week test period. P450scc overexpression in the nucleus accumbens, does not alter ethanol self-administration. P450scc overexpression produces a 36% increase in (3alpha,5alpha)-3-hydroxypregnan-20-one-positive cells in the ventral tegmental area, but does not increase (3alpha,5alpha)-3-hydroxypregnan-20-one immunoreactivity in nucleus accumbens Rattus norvegicus
