Extra Details:
Pregnenolone (3β-Hydroxy-5-pregnen-20-one) is a powerful neurosteroid; the main precursor of various steroid hormones including steroid ketones. Pregnenolone acts as a signaling-specific inhibitor of cannabinoid CB1 receptor; inhibits the effects of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) that are mediated by the CB1 receptors. Pregnenolone can protect the brain from cannabis intoxication[1][2]. Pregnenolone is also a TRPM3 channel activator; and also can weakly activate TRPM1 channels[3].
