Considering the synchronized synthesis of cortisol and DHEAS and their opposing effects to each other, investigators have propos...
متن کاملDehydroepiandrosterone Sulfate and Breast Cancer Risk1
It has been suggested that dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and its sulfate ester, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS), have a protec tive effect against breast cancer. In our investigation, DHEAS levels were measured in plasma obtained and frozen in 1972-1974 from 534 women aged 50-79 yr. This group, which has been followed for 15 yr, included 21 incident cases of breast cancer, 20 cases with ...
