DHEAS and cortisol/DHEAS-ratio in recurrent depression: State, or trait predicting 10-year recurrence? [PDF]

open access: yesPsychoneuroendocrinology, 2015
Background: Major depressive disorder (MDD) has been associated with low dehydroepiandrosterone-sulphate (DHEAS), - particularly relative to high cortisol - although conflicting findings exist.

CSF 5-HIAA, cortisol and DHEAS levels in suicide attempters

open access: yesEuropean Neuropsychopharmacology, 2013
The serotonin system and the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis are involved in the biological vulnerability to suicidal behaviour. Altered levels of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and its sulphate ester DHEAS have been reported in neuropsychiatric

Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS): identification of a carrier protein in human liver and brain [PDF]

open access: yesFEBS Letters, 1998
Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS) is the major circulating steroid in man. Pharmacologically, it exerts marked neuropsychiatric effects. Since no target receptor has been identified, we investigated whether the organic anion transporting polypeptide

DHEA, DHEAS and PCOS

The Journal of Steroid Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2015
Approximately 20-30% of PCOS women demonstrate excess adrenal precursor androgen (APA) production, primarily using DHEAS as a marker of APA in general and more specifically DHEA, synthesis. The role of APA excess in determining or causing PCOS is unclear, although observations in patients with inherited APA excess (e.g., patients with 21-hydroxylase ...

DHEA and DHEA‐S: A Review

The Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, 1999
Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and its sulfated metabolite DHEA‐S are endogenous hormones secreted by the adrenal cortex in response to adrenocorticotrophin (ACTH). Much has been published regarding potential effects on various systems. Despite the identification of DHEA and DHEA‐S more than 50 years ago, there is still considerable controversy as to ...

Selective Microbial Conversion of DHEA into 7α-OH-DHEA

2023
7α-Hydroxy dehydroepiandrosterone (7α-OH-prasterone, 7α-OH-DHEA) is a key steroid intermediate in the synthesis of valuable pharmaceuticals widely used in the treatment of autoimmune illness, rheumatoid arthritis, colitis, and other severe diseases. The steroid can be produced using a filamentous fungus, which is capable of regio- and stereospecific ...

Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and its Sulphate (DHEAS) in Alzheimer’s Disease

Current Alzheimer Research, 2020
Background:Neurosteroids Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and Dehydroepiandrosterone Sulphate (DHEAS) are involved in many important brain functions, including neuronal plasticity and survival, cognition and behavior, demonstrating preventive and therapeutic potential in different neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer’s ...

Low Serum DHEAS Predicts Increased Fracture Risk in Older Men: The MrOS Sweden Study

open access: yesJournal of Bone and Mineral Research, 2017
The adrenal-derived hormones dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and its sulfate (DHEAS) are the most abundant circulating hormones and their levels decline substantially with age.

Biotransformation of DHEA into 7α,15α-diOH-DHEA

2017
3β,7α,15α-Trihydroxy-5-androsten-17-one (7α,15α-diOH-DHEA) is a key intermediate of the novel oral contraceptive "Yasmin" (widely used in birth control pills and postmenopausal hormone replacement therapy pills; the active ingredient is drospirenone).

Lack of Hepatic Conversion of Dehydroepiandrosterone Sulfate (DHEAS) to DHEA

Endocrine Research, 2004
DHEA and its sulfate ester DHEAS are the most abundant steroids in the human circulation. Only desulfated DHEA is biologically active and can be converted downstream toward sex steroids. The current concept is that DHEAS serves as the hydrophilic storage pool for DHEA regeneration and that DHEA and DHEAS are interconverted freely via hydroxysteroid ...
