Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) (along with its sulfated metabolite,
DHEA-S) is the most abundant naturally occuring steroid in human blood.
It is produced in the adrenal cortex and can also be independently
synthesized in the brain. Among the biological effects of DHEA are
changes in the immune system, inflammation, lipid and carbohydrate
metabolism, anticarcinogenic effects, neuroprotection, and antioxidant
effects.
DHEA levels significantly decline with age, and this decline has been
correlated to varying degrees with many of the complications associated
with aging, such as cardiovascular disease and high cholesterol levels,
insulin resistance and diabetes, obesity, and neurodegeneration. In
humans, DHEA has been reported to reduce body fat, alleviate angina,
and reduce LDL ("bad") cholesterol, and it has also been used to treat
cancer, multiple sclerosis, coronary artery disease, lupus,
Alzheimer's, HIV/AIDS, depression, PMS symptoms, and osteoporosis. It
has antiproliferative effects on some human cancer cell lines. In
animals, DHEA has been reported to decrease body fat and have
beneficial effects in rodent models of diabetes, lupus, anemia,
atherosclerosis, and breast, colon, lung, and skin cancer. It also
improves memory performance and has immunostimulating and
antiglucocorticoid properties. For these reasons, DHEA has been termed
"fountain of youth."
