The FDA considers BHT as currently used by BHT advocates to be a marketing term, not a scientific term, and does not recognize its use. [11] The meaning of plant-derived has also been attached to the term bioidentical , [ 12 ] and it may also mean that the hormones are "natural"; throughout the 1990s plant-derived, compounded hormones were ...
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 ...
3β-HSD II mediates three parallel dehydrogenase/isomerase reactions in the adrenals that convert Δ 4 to Δ 5 steroids: pregnenolone to progesterone, 17α-hydroxypregnenolone to 17α-hydroxyprogesterone, and dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) to androstenedione. 3β-HSD II also mediates an alternate route of testosterone synthesis from androstenediol in the testes. 3β-HSD deficiency results in ...
Plasma levels of DHEA in adult men are 10 to 25 nM, in premenopausal women are 5 to 30 nM, and in postmenopausal women are 2 to 20 nM. [25] Conversely, DHEA-S levels are an order of magnitude higher at 1–10 μM. [25] Levels of DHEA and DHEA-S decline to the lower nanomolar and micromolar ranges in men and women aged 60 to 80 years.

The ICD-10 Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM) is a set of diagnosis codes used in the United States of America. [1] It was developed by a component of the U.S. Department of Health and Human services, [ 2 ] as an adaption of the ICD-10 with authorization from the World Health Organization .
As such 17α-hydroxypregenolone represents an intermediary in the Δ 5 pathway that leads from pregnenolone to DHEA. 17α-Hydroxypregneolone is also converted to 17α-hydroxyprogesterone, a prohormone for glucocorticosteroids and androstenedione through the activity of 3α-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase.
Cannabis use during pregnancy should be avoided. [80] There is no known safe dose of cannabis while pregnant and use of cannabis may lead to birth defects, pre-term birth, or low birth weight. [ 80 ] Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) , an active ingredient in cannabis, can both cross the placenta and accumulates in high concentrations in breast milk ...
The safety profile of 7-keto-DHEA appears to be generally well-tolerated with a low side-effect profile, but changes in blood hormone parameters have been reported. Given these uncertainties, the potential benefits and safety of 7-keto-DHEA, particularly with long-term use, are not established.
