title: [Neuropharmacology of progesterone].
abstract: Progesterone and its derivatives, synthesized by glial cells in brain tissue of both female and male organism, produce some important local effects, which do not depend upon specific endocrine function of this sex hormone. Being neurosteroids, these compounds exhibit neuroprotective and psychotropic activities, which can be used in clinical practice.
