Dhea supplementation and cognition in postmenopausal women.
Previous work has suggested that DHEA supplementation may have adverse cognitive effects in elderly women. This article analyzed 24-h measurements of DHEA, DHEAS, and cortisol to determine if cognitive decrease with treatment is mediated by DHEA's impact on endogenous cortisol. It was found that DHEA administration increased cortisol at several hours during the day. In the treatment group, cort...
متن کاملEvaluation of Androgen and Progesterone Levels in Women with Preeclampsia

Despite numerous studies, the pathology of preeclampsia has not yet been fully elucidated. This study, therefore, determines whether maternal serum levels of androgen and progesterone are higher in patients with preeclampsia than in matched control subjects. Methods: Se...
متن کاملEffect of sequential transdermal progesterone cream on endometrium, bleeding pattern, and plasma progesterone and salivary progesterone levels in postmenopausal women.
BACKGROUND Transdermal progesterone is being used in some countries as a purported treatment for menopausal symptoms, either alone or prescribed in conjunction with estrogen, but little information exists regarding the biological activity and effectiveness of this method of delivery of progesterone in protecting the endometrium from excess proliferation. This study was designed to evaluate the ...
متن کاملMiscarriage rates after dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) supplementation in women with diminished ovarian reserve: a case control study
BACKGROUND Dehydroepinadrosterone (DHEA) supplementation improves pregnancy chances in women with diminished ovarian reserve (DOR), by possibly reducing aneuploidy. Since a large majority of spontaneous miscarriages are associated with aneuploidy, one can speculate that DHEA supplementation may also reduce miscarriage rates. METHODS We retroactively compared, utilizing two independent statist...
متن کاملDhea Replacement Therapy in Hypoadrenal Women
Adrenally produced dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and its sulfated ester (DHEA-S) are the most abundant steroid hormones found in the circulation. These hormones peak during the late teenage years and steadily decrease by 10% per decade thereafter. As a result, healthy elderly men and women have lower DHEA and DHEA-S levels than younger healthy individuals. Levels are low or almost undetectable ...
