Significance and Uses
Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is a 17-ketosteroid produced by side chain cleavage of 17-hydroxypregnenolone. DHEA is reversibly converted to its sulfate ester (DHEA-S) and Androstenediol. DHEA and DHEA-S are the major secretory products of the human adrenal glands and are precursors for both estrogenic and androgenic steroids. DHEA has been linked to a number of physiological conditions inlcuding: Depression, Systemic Lupus Erythematosus and Rheumatoid Arthritis.
