Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is an endogenous steroid hormone that is secreted primarily by the adrenal gland and is the most abundant sex steroid.{29196,29200,29202} Metabolites of DHEA include androstenedione (Item No. ISO60161), which subsequently may be metabolized to testosterone (Item Nos. ISO60154 | 15645) or estrone (Item Nos. ISO60165 | 10006485) which is an estradiol (Item Nos. ISO60155 | 10006315) precursor.{29196,29200,29202} In addition to serving as an intermediate in the biosynthesis of sex steroids, DHEA directly modulates a number of cellular and nuclear receptors.{29196,29200,29202}
