dehydroepiandrosterone and Delayed Puberty

dehydroepiandrosterone has been researched along with Delayed Puberty in 14 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
"Serum levels of the adrenal androgens dehydroepiandrosterone (DHA), dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate (DHAS), and androstenedione (A) were measured in 90 males (age range 14 1/2--26 years) presenting with delayed puberty to an adult endocrine clinic over a period of 3 years."3.66Clinical value of adrenal androgen measurement in the diagnosis of delayed puberty. ( Beastall, GH; Cohen, HN; Fogelman, I; Thomson, JA; Wallace, AM, 1981)
" The transectional or longitudinal study of the plasma levels of dehydroepiandrosterone, its sulfate (DHAS), delta 4-androstenedione, testosterone, and 170H-progesterone in 121 children with a variety of clinical disorders in which adrenarchal and gonadal maturations are dissociated (precocious adrenarche, precocious or delayed puberty, adrenal insufficiency, gonadal dysgenesis, hypogonadotropism hypogonadotrophic) is presented."3.66[Does adrenarche really play a determining role in pubertal development? A study of the dissociations between adrenarche and gonadarche. The failure of dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate treatment in delayed adrenarche]. ( David, M; de Peretti, E; Forest, MG; Sempe, M, 1982)
"We suggest that the early stage of delayed puberty in thalassemia might be characterized by a neuroendocrine dysfunction resulting in an impaired hypothalamic GnRH release, which is inadequate for a proper pituitary stimulation."2.68Delayed puberty in males with beta-thalassemia major: pulsatile gonadotropin-releasing hormone administration induces changes in gonadotropin isoform profiles and an increase in sex steroids. ( Dahl, KD; Giordano, G; Giusti, M; Guido, R; McGuinness, D; Mori, PG; Valenti, S, 1995)
"Oxandrolone has an androgenic action as shown by changes in serum LH, testosterone and SHBG concentrations and by the lack of effect on FSH."1.29The effects of oxandrolone on the growth hormone and gonadal axes in boys with constitutional delay of growth and puberty. ( Brook, CG; Hindmarsh, PC; Malhotra, A; Poon, E; Pringle, PJ; Tse, WY, 1993)
"In boys with delayed puberty, Sm-C values resembled those of boys of like pubertal stage more closely than those of boys of similar age."1.27Relationship of somatomedin-C concentrations to pubertal changes. ( Bock, D; Furlanetto, R; Rosenfield, RI, 1983)
"Seventeen of 19 patients presented delayed puberty, and in some, hypogonadism persisted after recovery from anorexia nervosa."1.27[Growth of anorexic adolescents]. ( Chaussain, JL; Job, JC; Kholy, ME, 1986)
"In addition, 53 boys with idiopathic delayed puberty (IDP) were studied."1.26Hypopituitarism and idiopathic delayed puberty: a longitudinal study in an attempt to diagnose gonadotropin deficiency before puberty. ( Bourguignon, JP; Craen, M; Du Caju, MV; Ernould, C; Franchimont, P; Malvaux, P; Vanderschueren-Lodeweyckx, M; Wolter, R, 1982)
