“Finally, under the multiple schedule, noncontingent injections of ethanol (0.32-1.8 g/kg), DHEA (10-100 mg/kg), and pregnanolone (1.8-32 mg/kg) dose-dependently decreased food- and ethanol-maintained responding and the dose of ethanol presented.”
“Further, we have shown that two neurosteroids, dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and pregnanolone, can readily decrease ethanol self-administration in males.”
