Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate and dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate/cortisol ratio in cirrhotic patients with septic shock: another sign of hepatoadrenal syndrome?
BACKGROUND Cirrhotic patients are susceptible to sepsis and critical illness-related corticosteroid insufficiency (CIRCI). Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS) is a corticotropin-dependent adrenal androgen, which has immunostimulating and antiglucocorticoid effects. Considering the synchronized synthesis of cortisol and DHEAS and their opposing effects to each other, investigators have propos...
متن کاملSerum dehydroepiandrosterone, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate, and pregnenolone sulfate concentrations in patients with hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism.
BACKGROUND Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA-S) have been suggested to have protective effects against cardiovascular disease, cancer, immune-modulated diseases, and aging. We examined serum concentrations of DHEA, DHEA-S, and pregnenolone sulfate (PREG-S) in patients with thyroid dysfunction. METHODS Steroids extracted with methanol from serum sample were...
متن کاملSerum levels of dehydroepiandrosterone and dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate and the risk of developing gastric cancer.
Although the incidence of gastric cancer varies widely between countries it is nonetheless a leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide. Migration studies indicate that dietary choices are an important exogenous factor. The United States has a very low incidence of gastric cancer, suggesting that exogenous etiological agents are at a minimum and providing a favorable setting for detecting importa...
متن کاملSerum dehydroepiandrosterone and dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate and the subsequent risk of developing colon cancer.
This purpose of this study was to evaluate whether serum dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and its sulfate conjugate, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS), are associated with the likelihood of developing colon cancer. A nested case-control study was conducted using the serum bank and cancer registry in Washington County, Maryland. From a population of 20,305 county residents who donated blood in...
متن کاملmaternal serum dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate levels and the efficiency of labor
to evaluate the maternal serum dehydroepiandrosterone (dhea) sulfate levels as a factor influencing labor ‘efficiency’ at term and unsuccessful labor induction. this is a prospective study. in this study the mean (± standard error) maternal serum dhea sulfate levels of 90 singleton pregnant women in 3 groups with spontaneous labor, need for augmentation and need for induction were compared.preg...
