About DHEA
Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is the most abundant androgen (15 to 30 mg/day)
secreted by the adrenal glands and to some extent by the ovaries and testes. It
is a precursor for other steroid hormones, such as testosterone and estrogen.
Peak levels of DHEA occur at age 25. By age 80, DHEA levels have decreased to 10
to 20% of the peak level. DHEA has been called an anti-aging hormone because
deficiencies of DHEA in old age may make individuals more susceptible to cancer
of the breast, prostate, and bladder; atherosclerosis, hypertension, autoimmune
diseases (e.g., diabetes, lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis),
osteoporosis, high cholesterol, obesity, memory disturbances, chronic fatigue,
and manifestations of aging.
When given to older patients, DHEA increased feelings of physical and
psychological well-being, increased immune cell production, and enhanced mood,
energy, and sleep. Older individuals with higher DHEA levels are often in better
health than individuals with lower levels. The two most important factors
concerning DHEA are its decline in old age and its deficiency in several major
disease states.
One of the most common reasons that DHEA is prescribed is to overcome fatigue.
Our adrenal glands, increasingly overworked and exhausted as we age, secrete
diminishing amounts of hormones, including DHEA. People older than fifty can
potentially revive energy levels in just a few days to a few weeks with
supplemental DHEA.
People with chronic fatigue syndrome, AIDS, and other immune crippling
illnesses, often have very low DHEA levels. DHEA strengthens the immune
function, relives depression, boost energy and sharpens thinking.
A six-month course of DHEA, in a daily dosage of 200 mg, markedly diminished
symptoms of lupus for a small number of women involved in a study of the
hormone.
Rheumatoid arthritis is another autoimmune disease for which DHEA is prescribed.
Most people who contend with the degenerative joint disease have lower than
usual readings of the hormone.
Studies are still underway in DHEA research as it pertains to cancer. Blood
concentrations of DHEA are lower in people with bladder cancer than their
cancer-free counterparts. However, people with prostate cancer should avoid DHEA
because it can stimulate testosterone production, and the male hormone feeds
prostatic tumors.
Taking supplements of DHEA may reduce a high cholesterol level. This is one way
that DHEA helps to prevent heart disease. It also thwarts blood clot formation
and may encourage blood vessels to relax, which could lower high blood pressure.
A four-week study of older adults showed that 75 mg of DHEA daily, improved
memory and brightened moods. It may also guard against Alzheimer's disease, but
research so far is inconclusive.
Clinical studies are still underway regarding rejuvenation of sex drive in older
adults, but both men and women have shown increased sex drives with supplemental
DHEA.
Few studies of diabetic persons are available at this time, but results of
animal experiments show that supplements may improve the body's sensitivity to
insulin, which would help keep blood sugar in line.
