Dehydroepiandrosterone and its sulfate predict the 5-year risk of coronary heart disease events in elderly men.
(2014) In Journal of the American College of Cardiology 64(17). p.1801-1810- Abstract
- The adrenal sex hormone dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), which is present in serum mainly as the sulfate DHEA-S, is the most abundant steroid hormone in human blood. Its levels decline dramatically with age. Despite the great amount of literature on vascular and metabolic actions of DHEA/-S, evidence for an association between DHEA/-S levels and cardiovascular events is contradictory.
