dehydroepiandrosterone and Labhart-Willi Syndrome

dehydroepiandrosterone has been researched along with Labhart-Willi Syndrome 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.

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"6 years, height, weight, fat mass, fasting insulin concentration, insulin resistance (by HOMA-R; see text), and leptin and IGF-I levels were determined to test whether they explain the variance of the levels of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and its sulfate (DHEAS), of androstenedione, and of cortisol before and during 42 months of therapy with growth hormone."9.10Increased adrenal androgen levels in patients with Prader-Willi syndrome are associated with insulin, IGF-I, and leptin, but not with measures of obesity.
