Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is a multifunctional steroid that has been implicated in a broad
range of biological effects in humans and other mammals. Together with its sulfate ster (DHEA
S), it is the most abundant steroid in humans. DHEA is produced by adrenal glands, but also syth
esized de novo in the brain.It acts on the androgen receptor both directly and through its metabol
ites, which include androstenediol and androstendione, which can undrgo further conversion to
produce the androgen testosterone and the estrogens estrone and estradiol. DHEA is also a poten
t sigma-1 agonist. It is considered a neurosteroid DHEA is essential to sustain life, and there are
numerous health benefits to having healthy levels of natural DHEA. Dr. Arthur Schwartz of the
Temple University School of Medicine says that "DHEA appears to block the growth of carcino
gens".Studies have shown that DHEA is useful in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus. A
n application of the evidence was discussed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 2001 a
nd is available online. This review also shows that cholesterol and other serum lipids decrease w
ith the use of DHEA (mainly a decrease in HDL-C and triglycerides can be expected in women
, p110).
Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is a precursor hormone, which means it has little biological effect on its own, but has powerful effects when converted into other hormones such as estradiol. Dehydroepiandrosterone is produced from cholesterol mainly by the outer layer of the adrenal glands, known as the adrenal cortex, although it is also made by the testes and ovaries in small amounts. It circulates in the blood, mainly attached to sulphur as dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate, which prevents the hormone being broken down. In women, dehydroepiandrosterone is an important source of oestrogens in the body – it provides about 75% of oestrogens before the menopause, and 100% of oestrogens in the body after menopause.
In addition to its role as a natural hormone, DHEA is used as an over-the-counter supplement and medication; for information on DHEA as a supplement or medication, see the prasterone article.
