Summary: Steroid sulfatase inhibitors such as dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEAS) have memory-enhancing effects. Working with both DHEAS and the steroid sulfatase inhibitor DU-14, the authors examined cholinergic function by infusing 0.2 μg of 192-IgG-SAP (Cat. #IT-01) into the medial septum of rats. The results indicate that memory associated with contextual fear is facilitated by steroid sulfatase inhibition, but acquisition of spatial memory is impaired by these same lesions.
