dehydroepiandrosterone and Bulimia

dehydroepiandrosterone has been researched along with Bulimia in 4 studies

Dehydroepiandrosterone: A major C19 steroid produced by the ADRENAL CORTEX. It is also produced in small quantities in the TESTIS and the OVARY. Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) can be converted to TESTOSTERONE; ANDROSTENEDIONE; ESTRADIOL; and ESTRONE. Most of DHEA is sulfated (DEHYDROEPIANDROSTERONE SULFATE) before secretion.
dehydroepiandrosterone : An androstanoid that is androst-5-ene substituted by a beta-hydroxy group at position 3 and an oxo group at position 17. It is a naturally occurring steroid hormone produced by the adrenal glands.

Bulimia: Eating an excess amount of food in a short period of time, as seen in the disorder of BULIMIA NERVOSA. It is caused by an abnormal craving for food, or insatiable hunger also known as ox hunger.

Trial Outcomes

Prevalence of Sexual Dysfunction in Women With PCOS

Prevalence rate of women with PCOS defined by scores of the FSFI (total scores range from 2-36; scores less than 26.55 represent presence/degree of sexual dysfunction) - For this outcome, total scores were converted, using the cutoff score of 26.55, into a dichotomous variable for presence or absence of sexual dysfunction. (NCT02865187)
Timeframe: Baseline

InterventionParticipants (Count of Participants)
Vitamin D + Hormonal Contraception26
Vit D + Non-hormonal Contraception11

Sexual Function

Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) scores at Month 6 (Total score ranges from 2 - 36; scores less than 26.55 represent presence/degree of sexual dysfunction) (NCT02865187)
Timeframe: Month 6
