  • Dehydroepiandrosterone – Is the Fountain of Youth Drying Out?
    Physiol. Res. 52: 397-407, 2003 MINIREVIEW Dehydroepiandrosterone – Is the Fountain of Youth Drying Out? P. CELEC 1,2, L. STÁRKA3 1Faculty of Medicine, 2Faculty of Natural Sciences, Comenius University, Bratislava, Slovakia and 3Institute of Endocrinology, Prague, Czech Republic Received September 15, 2002 Accepted October 7, 2002 Summary Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and its sulphate-bound form (DHEAS) are important steroids mainly of adrenal origin. Their physiological and pathophysiological functions are not yet fully identified, although a number of various possible features have been hypothesized. Most popular is the description of the “hormone of youth” as the long-term dynamics of DHEA levels are characterized by a sharp age-related decline in the late adulthood and later. Low levels of DHEA are, however, associated not only with the ageing process but also with diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular diseases and some neurological or immunological entities. In the past decade, a number of brief studies have concentrated on these relationships and also on the role of exogenous DHEA in health, disease and human well-being. This article tries to summarize some of the most important facts achieved recently. Key words Dehydroepiandrosterone • Intracrinology • Hormone replacement therapy • Steroids Introduction functions: 1) DHEA is an endogenous metabolite that cannot be patented so that pharmaceutical companies are In 1934 Butenandt and Dannenbaum isolated not interested in supporting research in this field. dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) from urine and in 1944 2) DHEA can be described as a “human molecule” Munson and colleagues identified its 3β-sulphate because other investigated species have much lower (DHEAS). Even now, nearly 70 years later, we still do concentrations.

  • Effect of Dehydroepiandrosterone and Testosterone Supplementation on Systemic Lipolysis
    ORIGINAL ARTICLE Effect of Dehydroepiandrosterone and Testosterone Supplementation on Systemic Lipolysis Ana E. Espinosa De Ycaza, Robert A. Rizza, K. Sreekumaran Nair, and Michael D. Jensen Division of Endocrinology, Endocrine Research Unit, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota 55905 Downloaded from https://academic.oup.com/jcem/article/101/4/1719/2804555 by guest on 24 September 2021 Context: Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and T hormones are advertised as antiaging, antiobe- sity products. However, the evidence that these hormones have beneficial effects on adipose tissue metabolism is limited. Objective: The objective of the study was to determine the effect of DHEA and T supplementation on systemic lipolysis during a mixed-meal tolerance test (MMTT) and an iv glucose tolerance test (IVGTT). Design: This was a 2-year randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. Setting: The study was conducted at a general clinical research center. Participants: Sixty elderly women with low DHEA concentrations and 92 elderly men with low DHEA and bioavailable T concentrations participated in the study. Interventions: Elderly women received 50 mg DHEA (n ϭ 30) or placebo (n ϭ 30). Elderly men received 75 mg DHEA (n ϭ 30),5mgT(nϭ 30), or placebo (n ϭ 32). Main Outcome Measures: In vivo measures of systemic lipolysis (palmitate rate of appearance) during a MMTT or IVGTT. Results: At baseline there was no difference in insulin suppression of lipolysis measured during MMTT and IVGTT between the treatment groups and placebo. For both sexes, a univariate analysis showed no difference in changes in systemic lipolysis during the MMTT or IVGTT in the DHEA group and T group when compared with placebo.

  • Reproductive DHEA-S
    Reproductive DHEA-S Analyte Information - 1 - DHEA-S Introduction DHEA-S, DHEA sulfate or dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate, it is a metabolite of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) resulting from the addition of a sulfate group. It is the sulfate form of aromatic C19 steroid with 10,13-dimethyl, 3-hydroxy group and 17-ketone. Its chemical name is 3β-hydroxy-5-androsten-17-one sulfate, its summary formula is C19H28O5S and its molecular weight (Mr) is 368.5 Da. The structural formula of DHEA-S is shown in (Fig.1). Fig.1: Structural formula of DHEA-S Other names used for DHEA-S include: Dehydroisoandrosterone sulfate, (3beta)-3- (sulfooxy), androst-5-en-17-one, 3beta-hydroxy-androst-5-en-17-one hydrogen sulfate, Prasterone sulfate and so on. As DHEA-S is very closely connected with DHEA, both hormones are mentioned together in the following text. Biosynthesis DHEA-S is the major C19 steroid and is a precursor in testosterone and estrogen biosynthesis. DHEA-S originates almost exclusively in the zona reticularis of the adrenal cortex (Fig.2). Some may be produced by the testes, none is produced by the ovaries. The adrenal gland is the sole source of this steroid in women, whereas in men the testes secrete 5% of DHEA-S and 10 – 20% of DHEA. The production of DHEA-S and DHEA is regulated by adrenocorticotropin (ACTH). Corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) and, to a lesser extent, arginine vasopressin (AVP) stimulate the release of adrenocorticotropin (ACTH) from the anterior pituitary gland (Fig.3). In turn, ACTH stimulates the adrenal cortex to secrete DHEA and DHEA-S, in addition to cortisol.

Design: The phytoestrogens daidzein and genistein were extracted from dried foods, and the two isoflavones quantified after hydrolytic removal of any conjugated carbohydrate. Completeness of extraction and any procedural losses of the isoflavones 0 0 were accounted for using synthetic daidzin (7-O-glucosyl-4 -hydroxyisoflavone) and genistin (7-O-glucosyl-4 5-dihydroxyiso- flavone) as internal standards. Setting: Foods from the Cambridge UK area were purchased, prepared for eating, which included cooking if necessary, and freeze dried. Three stock soy flours were also analysed. Results: Eighteen of the foods assayed contained trace or no detectable daidzein or genistein. The soy flours were rich sources, containing 1639 – 2117 mg=kg. The concentration of the two isoflavones in the remaining foods ranged from 33 to 11 873 mg=kg. Conclusion: These analyses will supply useful information to investigators determining the intake of phytoestrogens in cereal products in order to relate intakes to potential biological activities.
