The potential influence of the neurosteroid pregnenolone sulfate (PrS) on barbiturate-induced hypnosis was tested in rats. PrS, when injected intracerebroventricularly or intraperitoneally, significantly shortened the sleep-time produced by pentobarbital. The results suggest an important physiological and pharmacological role for PrS in the regulation of CNS excitability.
在大鼠中测试了神经甾体硫酸孕烯醇酮（PrS）对巴比妥类药物诱导催眠作用的潜在影响。当脑室内或腹腔内注射PrS时，显著缩短了戊巴比妥产生的睡眠时间。结果表明PrS在调节中枢神经系统兴奋性方面具有重要的生理和药理作用。
