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 ]
[4] [8] [9] However, DHEA also has a variety of potential biological effects in its own right, binding to an array of nuclear and cell surface receptors, [10] and acting as a neurosteroid and modulator of neurotrophic factor receptors. [11] In the United States, DHEA is sold as an over-the-counter supplement, and medication called prasterone.
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]
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 ...
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 ...
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]
Suzetrigine is the first new painkiller approved in the US since Celebrex, a type of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug called a Cox-2 inhibitor, which was approved in 1998.
16α-Hydroxydehydroepiandrosterone (16α-hydroxy-DHEA or 16α-OH-DHEA) is an endogenous metabolite of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA). Both 16α-OH-DHEA and its 3β- sulfate ester , 16α-OH-DHEA-S , are intermediates in the biosynthesis of estriol from dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA).
