Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate, abbreviated as DHEA sulfate or DHEA-S, also known as androstenolone sulfate, is an endogenous androstane steroid that is produced by the adrenal cortex. [1] It is the 3β- sulfate ester and a metabolite of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and circulates in far greater relative concentrations than DHEA. [ 2 ]
Levels of DHEA-S in circulation are approximately 250 to 300 times those of DHEA. [20] DHEA-S in turn can be converted back into DHEA in peripheral tissues via steroid sulfatase (STS). [54] [55] The terminal half-life of DHEA is short at only 15 to 30 minutes. [56] In contrast, the terminal half-life of DHEA-S is far longer, at 7 to 10 hours. [56]
Prasterone sulfate (brand names Astenile, Mylis, Teloin, others), also known as dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA-S), is a naturally occurring androstane steroid which is marketed and used in Japan and other countries as a labor inducer in the treatment of insufficient cervical ripening and dilation during childbirth.
Prasterone, also known as dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and sold under the brand name Intrarosa among others, is a medication as well as over-the-counter dietary supplement which is used to correct DHEA deficiency due to adrenal insufficiency or old age, as a component of menopausal hormone therapy, to treat painful sexual intercourse due to vaginal atrophy, and to prepare the cervix for ...
Depression. DHEA levels are lower in those with depression, so supplementation may help.. A 2005 placebo-controlled study looked at men and women aged 45 to 65 with midlife-onset major or minor ...
Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate, a major endogenous steroid sulfate. Note the steroid ester at the C3β position. Steroid sulfates are endogenous sulfate esters of steroids. [1] They are formed by steroid sulfotransferases via sulfation of endogenous steroids like cholesterol and steroid hormones. [1]
16α-Hydroxydehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (16α-OH-DHEA-S), also known as 16α-hydroxy-17-oxoandrost-5-en-3β-yl sulfate, is an endogenous, naturally occurring steroid and a metabolic intermediate in the production of estriol from dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) during pregnancy. [1] [2] It is the C3β sulfate ester of 16α-hydroxy-DHEA. [3] [4]
For 2,000 years or so until the arrival of the Spanish in the 16th century, it was home to the Tequesta tribe that is likely responsible for the Miami Circle, today a state park at the mouth of ...
