Popis: The presence of 5α-reductase and 20α-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase has been demonstrated in brain from two species (rat and baboon). Under the conditions of the present experimental design, there appear to be significant differences related to sex and species but not to age. Our data, supported by observations of others, suggest a regulatory role of these enzymes in the control of feedback mechanisms.
