DHEA Sulfate Modulation

Meaning

DHEA Sulfate Modulation refers to the therapeutic adjustment of the circulating levels of dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA-S), a crucial adrenal steroid hormone precursor. This modulation aims to restore DHEA-S concentrations to an optimal range, often targeting youthful levels, to support overall endocrine function and well-being. DHEA-S serves as a major reservoir for the synthesis of other sex steroids, including testosterone and estrogen, and its level is a significant biomarker of adrenal and physiological aging. Careful clinical monitoring is essential due to the hormone’s widespread metabolic effects.
