dehydroepiandrosterone and Calcification, Pathologic

dehydroepiandrosterone has been researched along with Calcification, Pathologic in 3 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.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"To evaluate the role of adrenal androgens in the development of arteriosclerosis, serum dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS), dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), aortic calcification and pulse wave velocity (PWV) were measured in 69 males and 119 females without overt cardiovascular disease."3.68Role of adrenal androgens in the development of arteriosclerosis as judged by pulse wave velocity and calcification of the aorta. ( Aizawa, T; Hiramatsu, K; Ishihara, F; Matsuo, K; Niwa, A; Shigematsu, S; Takasu, N; Yamada, T, 1992)
