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 ...
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]
DHEA and DHEA-S are the most abundant circulating steroids in the body. [29] Plasma levels of DHEA-S are 100 or more times higher than those of DHEA, 5 to 10 times higher than those of cortisol, 100 to 500 times those of testosterone, and 1,000 to 10,000 times higher than those of estradiol. [30] [3] Levels of DHEA and DHEA-S vary throughout life.
7α-Hydroxydehydroepiandrosterone (7α-hydroxy-DHEA; 7α-OH-DHEA), also known as 3β,7α-dihydroxyandrost-5-ene-17-one, is an endogenous, naturally occurring steroid and a major metabolite of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) that is formed by CYP7B1 (steroid 7α-hydroxylase) in tissues such as the prostate gland and by CYP3A4 in the liver.

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]
