The regulation of DHEA-sulfate by steroid sulfotransferase (SULT) and steryl-sulfatase (STS) enzymes is a vital process for the downstream formation of many steroid hormones. DHEA-sulfate is the most abundant steroid hormone in the human body; thus, DHEA-

THE PROTECTIVE EFFECT OF COQ10, DHEA AND THEIR COMBINATION IN REDUCED EMBRYOTOXICITY AND TERATOGENICITY FOR NORFLOXACIN IN PREGNANT FEMALE RATS [PDF]
This study was designed to evaluate the protective effect of CoQ10 and DHEA and their combination of norfloxacin induced embryotoxicity and teratogenicity in pregnant female rats and their fetuses. Twenty pregnant rats were divided equally into 5 groups,

Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and DHEA-sulfate (DHEAS) protect hippocampal neurons against excitatory amino acid-induced neurotoxicity [PDF]
DHEA, together with DHEAS, is the most abundant steroid in the blood of young adult humans. Levels in humans decline with age and during certain types of illness or stress. We have found that DHEA(S) can prevent or reduce the neurotoxic actions in the hippocampus of the glutamate agonists N -methyl- d

Impacts of adrenarcheal DHEA levels on spontaneous cortical activity during development
Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) production is closely associated with the first pubertal hormonal event, adrenarche. Few studies have documented the relationships between DHEA and functional brain development, with even fewer examining the associations ...

Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS) as neuroactive neurosteroids [PDF]
The observation was made that dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), as the unconjugated steroid, and its sulfate ester (DHEAS) are present in the brain of adult male rats (1). This finding was unforeseen because the rodent steroidogenic glands, including the adrenals, do not secrete significant amounts of DHEA (2).
