Description

7-hydroxydehydroepiandrosterone (7-OH-DHEA) is a naturally occurring steroid hormone that is a derivative of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA). It is found in low concentrations in the body and is believed to be produced primarily in the adrenal glands. 7-OH-DHEA has been shown to exhibit a variety of biological activities, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and neuroprotective effects. Studies have suggested that 7-OH-DHEA may play a role in the regulation of immune function, cognitive function, and energy metabolism. It has also been investigated for its potential therapeutic applications in conditions such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and cancer. The synthesis of 7-OH-DHEA can be achieved through various chemical and enzymatic methods. Further research is ongoing to fully understand the mechanisms of action and therapeutic potential of this compound.'

Roles (5)

RoleDescription
estrogenA hormone that stimulates or controls the development and maintenance of female sex characteristics in mammals by binding to oestrogen receptors. The oestrogens are named for their importance in the oestrous cycle. The oestrogens that occur naturally in the body, notably estrone, estradiol, estriol, and estetrol are steroids. Other compounds with oestrogenic activity are produced by plants (phytoestrogens) and fungi (mycoestrogens); synthetic compounds with oestrogenic activity are known as xenoestrogens.
anti-inflammatory agentAny compound that has anti-inflammatory effects.
antioxidantA substance that opposes oxidation or inhibits reactions brought about by dioxygen or peroxides.
rat metaboliteAny mammalian metabolite produced during a metabolic reaction in rat (Rattus norvegicus).
human xenobiotic metaboliteAny human metabolite produced by metabolism of a xenobiotic compound in humans.
