Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is a native hormone which declines linearly with age, and is a clinically deficient in the presence of chronic disease and inflammation. There is a growing interest in DHEA's clinical place on atherosclerosis, hypertension, memory disorders, fat mobilization, and cancer prevention treatment. DHEA acts as a precursor steroid and/or a buffer hormone that alters state dependancy by interacting with other hormones. The text explores DHEA's broad biologic action and its potential relevance to clinical disease.
