Sounds like it could have
quite a number of neurotransmitter-like functions (receptor modulation); and works practically with GABA, for
multiple purposes. People will probably have to enlarge their concept of what different kinds of things pheromones
do. It does sound similar to some psychotropic drugs, although we don't know much about the clinical significance
of the effects in humans. The effect on mouse depression sounds somewhat promising. It will be interesting when we
can connect more dots and also bring it into everyday terms. This is also suggestive for the other
16-androstenes.
