DHEA Neuronal Resilience

Meaning

DHEA Neuronal Resilience describes the intrinsic capacity of neurons to successfully withstand various forms of physiological stress and maintain their structural and functional integrity, a capacity significantly supported by the neurosteroid dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and its sulfated form, DHEA-S. This effect highlights DHEA’s role far beyond a simple adrenal precursor, positioning it as a direct, powerful modulator of central nervous system fortitude and stability. Optimal DHEA levels are clinically associated with enhanced mood stability, reduced anxiety, and a greater cognitive reserve throughout the entire lifespan.
