Hmmmm now there is a thought!

Just as long as you take your jabs first

you're such a smartypants. aww see why i like you? lmao.

*sigh*

yes Pregnenolone is a precursor in the synthesis pathway for the production of all corticosteroids.....

actually bollox to it, im bored of this now.

EDIT: changed my mind, heres the bio lesson

Pregnenolone, a memory-enhancing hormone, synchronizes brain cells to maintain youthful mental function

Pregnenolone is a sterone manufactured from cholesterol among the tiny mitochondria energy cells. Pregnenolone is the precursor of many steroids, and is eventually converted into a multitude of steroids and neurosteroids.

In a 1995 clinical study, Pregnenolone was discovered to be a potent memory enhancing sterone, possibly 100 times more effective for memory than DHEA. In animals, high Pregnenolone levels are clearly related to improved cognitive performance.

Like other steroids, pregnenolone consists of four interconnected cyclic hydrocarbons. It contains ketone and hydroxyl functional groups, two methyl branches, and a double bond at C 5, in the B cyclic hydrocarbon ring. Like all steroid hormones, it is hydrophobic. Its esterized version, pregnenolone sulfate, is water soluble.

Pregnenolone has been used for the treatment of arthritis since the 1940s. It is particularly effective against the swelling and inflammation associated with arthritis. Although it has fallen into disuse for that purpose, it has an impressive safety record and low toxicity.

Other clinical studies show that Pregnenolone is good at reducing stress levels, possibility by reducing the age-increasing effects of cortisol and inducing a better state of relaxation.

As levels of Pregnenolone decline with age, supplements can be used to improve energy levels, aid arthritis and enhance memory.

Pregnenolone undergoes further steroid metabolism in one of two ways.

Pregnenolone can be converted to progesterone. The critical enzyme step is two-fold using a 3-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase and a delta 4-5 isomerase. The latter transfers the double bond from C5 to C4 on the A ring. Progesterone is the entry into the delta-4-pathway resulting in production of 17-hydroxy progesterone, and androstenedione, precursor to testosterone and estrone. Aldosterone and corticosteroids are also derived from progesterone or its derivatives.
Pregnenolone can be converted to 17-hydroxy-pregnenolone by the enzyme 17α-hydroxylase, a cytochrome P450c17 (CYP17) enzyme. Using this pathway, termed delta-5 pathway, the next step is conversion to dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) using a desmolase. DHEA is the precursor of androstenedione.

Pregnenelone and its sulfate, like dehydroepiandrosterone and its sulfate and progesterone, belong to the group of neurosteroids that are found in high concentrations in certain areas in the brain and are synthesized there. Neurosteroids affect synaptic functioning, are neuroprotective, and enhance myelinization. Pregnenolone and its sulfate ester are under investigation for their potential to improve cognitive and memory functioning

yeah i can see how it would help now, nice one!!!

lol ok you have lost me now, do we really need to find a way to stop sexual behaviour today? lmao i'm quite happy as i am you two can keep your needles

I'm not reading a bloody wiki response dude

I'll do the last line like you did

You've jumped to the conclusion it helps memory, but your post also includes Dehydroepiandrosterone. The most dominant love hormone in your body.

They are all neural!

Although a neural hormone, it still controls body development.

What was your point?

I take on board all this but what i was saying was just like the pressure placed on woman/men to be a certain size. There is a hugh pressure placed on under 14's through the teen fashion, this has nothing to do with society it has to do with how people want under 14s years to be. Remember the cloths that i think sanisbury had to withdraw because they went to far. To be honest if you want to lead the argument about society, the society that fails to protect its young is a sad and sick society. if you force girls to grow up too quick and i am talking about under 14's here there is a price to pay. I see it in many places of children pushing prams with babies in them!
