3β-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase in the Brain Ependymocytes

  • Published:
Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine Aims and scope

We studied activity of 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase in rat brain ependymocytes. Enzyme activity was found in the cytoplasm of cells lining the villi in the vascular plexuses in the lateral ventricles and cells lining the ventricles. These data suggest that ependymocyte can synthesize neurosteroids.
