dehydroepiandrosterone and Osteoporosis, Postmenopausal

dehydroepiandrosterone has been researched along with Osteoporosis, Postmenopausal in 27 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.

Osteoporosis, Postmenopausal: Metabolic disorder associated with fractures of the femoral neck, vertebrae, and distal forearm. It occurs commonly in women within 15-20 years after menopause, and is caused by factors associated with menopause including estrogen deficiency.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"A major achievement from 500 million years of evolution is the establishment of a high secretion rate of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) by the human adrenal glands coupled with the indroduction of menopause which stops secretion of estrogens by the ovary."3.76DHEA, important source of sex steroids in men and even more in women. ( Labrie, F, 2010)
"Approximately 70% of breast cancers are diagnosed in postmenopausal women."1.40The role of hormones and aromatase inhibitors on breast tumor growth and general health in a postmenopausal mouse model. ( Arumugam, A; Lakshmanaswamy, R; Lissner, EA, 2014)
"Prevention of postmenopausal osteoporosis is now possible with current therapy, if initiated soon after the menopause and continued for at least 10 years."1.28The relationship between sex steroids and bone mineral content in women soon after the menopause. ( Edwards, AC; McGarrigle, HH; Perry, LA; Spector, TD; Thompson, PW, 1991)
