Abstract
ABSTRACT: Pregnelolone is a hormone produced in the mitochondria of all body cells, with highest concentrations found in the brain and the glial cells of the nervous system. It is a precursor of neurosteroid hormones including cortisone, testosterone, estrogen, progesterone and dehydroepiandosterone (DHEA). Recent research has shown the effects of renewing the myelin sheath with the application of neurosteroids to demyelinated nerve tissue.
