The purpose of this study was to evaluate the role of nitric oxide in the vasodilative effect of dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate (DHEA-S) in term pregnant women. Circulating nitrite, nitrate and oestradiol concentrations were measured on 10 normal full-term pregnant women before (-30 min) and after (10, 30, 60, 90 and 120 min) administration of a 200 mg i.v. dose of DHEA-S dissolved in 20 ml of...
The secretion and the blood levels of the adrenal steroid dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and its sulfate ester (DHEAS) decrease profoundly with age, and the question is posed whether administration of the steroid to compensate for the decline counteracts defects associated with aging. The commercial availability of DHEA outside the regular pharmaceutical-medical network in the United States crea...
Classic findings have demonstrated an important role for sex steroids as regulators of aggression, but this relationship is lacking within some environmental contexts. In mammals and birds, the adrenal androgen dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), a non-gonadal precursor of biologically active steroids, has been linked to aggression. Although females, like males, use aggression when competing for lim...
Objective The pathophysiology of major depressive disorder (MDD) is still not well understood. Conflicting results for surrogate. biomarkers in MDD have been reported, which might be a consequence of the heterogeneity of MDD patients. Therefore, we aim to investigate how the severity of depression and various symptom domains are related to the levels of dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA-s) i...
DHEA, together with DHEAS, is the most abundant steroid in the blood of young adult humans. Levels in humans decline with age and during certain types of illness or stress. We have found that DHEA(S) can prevent or reduce the neurotoxic actions in the hippocampus of the glutamate agonists N-methyl-D-aspartic acid (NMDA) both in vitro and in vivo or alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazoleprop...
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) has shown an association with high levels of prolactin, low levels of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), and induction of inflammatory cytokines in the serum of patients with the disease. This preliminary study examined the relevance of a -1149G/T functional single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) (rs1341239) in the promoter of the extrapituitary prolactin gene in a ...
The influence of steroid hormones on plasma lipids and lipoproteins was confirmed by many studies. On the other hand, the effect of plasma lipids on metabolism of steroid hormones has so far not been examined. The objective of this research project was to determine (1) the levels of cortisol, testosterone, estradiol, dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), its sulfate (DHEAS), 7-hydroxylated DHEA, and S...
Early observations have shown that preventive educational efforts towards experience of stress entail advantages in terms of improved well-being, health and performance. We examined the influence in healthy subjects of self-hypnosis and mental training taught in group sessions, with individual training in between according to a standard protocol, and integrated in daily life and work for six mo...
PURPOSE This study aimed to investigate the association between skeletal maturation and adrenal androgen levels in obese children and adolescents. METHODS Fifty-three children and adolescents (aged 7-15 years) diagnosed as obese or overweight were investigated. Anthropometric measurements, bone age (BA) determination, serum biochemical analyses, and hormonal measurements were performed. The d...
BACKGROUND In rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), patients demonstrate low levels of adrenal hormones. OBJECTIVE To investigate whether increased renal clearance and daily excretion contribute to this phenomenon. METHODS Thirty patients with RA, 32 with SLE, and 54 healthy subjects (HS) participated. Serum and urinary levels of cortisol, cortisone, 17-hydroxypr...
