A major C19 steroid produced by the ADRENAL CORTEX. It is also produced in small quantities in the TESTIS and the OVARY. Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) can be converted to TESTOSTERONE; ANDROSTENEDIONE; ESTRADIOL; and ESTRONE. Most of DHEA is sulfated (DEHYDROEPIANDROSTERONE SULFATE) before secretion.
DHEA has been studied across 23 research domains including 🧬 Hormones, ⏳ Longevity & Aging, 💪 Strength & Power, ♀♂ Sexual Health, 🧘 Stress & Anxiety. The primary research focus is 🧬 Hormones with 87% of studies addressing this area.
The following compounds share molecular targets with DHEA, based on binding affinity data from BindingDB and ChEMBL. Sorted by shared target overlap.
This evidence profile for DHEA is generated deterministically from 480 PubMed-indexed studies. All data is corpus-verified with Merkle proofs. BiohacksAI does not provide medical advice. Always consult a healthcare professional before starting any supplement regimen.
