Dehydroepiandrosterone Replacement In Healthy Men With Age-related Decline Of DHEA-S: Effects On Fat Distribution, Insulin Sensitivity And Lipid Metabolism

この研究の注釈:

50mg of DHEA given for 3 months in a double blind manner to aged men with low circulating DHEA levels but otherwise healthy status was unable to significantly influence any study parameter despite increasing circulating DHEA levels. The only effect that was notable was an increasing trend to increase LDL and Triglycerides, which did not reach statistical significance.


Supplementation With DHEA: Effect On Muscle Size, Strength, Quality Of Life, And Lipids

この研究の注釈:

DHEA at 50mg daily in menopausal women does not influence muscle mass, libido, sleep quality or well being despite increasing circulating androgen status. Estrone and SHBG were unaffected alongside cortisol. Functional tests failed to show a protective effect of either DHEA or estrogen replacement therapy (active control) and power output (knee flexion) was unaffected. Cholesterol decreased 8%.


Effects Of Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) Supplementation On Hormonal, Metabolic And Behavioral Status In Patients With Hypoadrenalism

この研究の注釈:

DHEA at 50mg for 4 months was unable to influence serum testosterone levels in men, while it increased testosterone levels only in women with low circulating androgens. SHBG dropped in men and women, and DHEA-S in serum increased in both groups.

No effects on carbohydate metabolism or insulin sensitivity were seen. Fat mass decreased, no effects on well being and quality of life were seen.

Patients were hypoadrenics.
