dehydroepiandrosterone and Multiple Sclerosis, Relapsing-Remitting

dehydroepiandrosterone has been researched along with Multiple Sclerosis, Relapsing-Remitting 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.

Multiple Sclerosis, Relapsing-Remitting: The most common clinical variant of MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS, characterized by recurrent acute exacerbations of neurologic dysfunction followed by partial or complete recovery. Common clinical manifestations include loss of visual (see OPTIC NEURITIS), motor, sensory, or bladder function. Acute episodes of demyelination may occur at any site in the central nervous system, and commonly involve the optic nerves, spinal cord, brain stem, and cerebellum.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE), a Th1 polarized demyelinating disease of the central nervous system (CNS), shares many pathological and clinical similarities with multiple sclerosis (MS), and thus represents an attractive animal model for this disease."1.31A synthetic androstene derivative and a natural androstene metabolite inhibit relapsing-remitting EAE. ( Auci, DL; Drought, H; Matejuk, A; Morgan, EE; Offner, H; Reading, CL; Vandenbark, AA; Zamora, A, 2002)
