dehydroepiandrosterone and Premenstrual Syndrome

dehydroepiandrosterone has been researched along with Premenstrual Syndrome in 10 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.

Premenstrual Syndrome: A combination of distressing physical, psychologic, or behavioral changes that occur during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle. Symptoms of PMS are diverse (such as pain, water-retention, anxiety, cravings, and depression) and they diminish markedly 2 or 3 days after the initiation of menses.

Trial Outcomes

Mean Beck Depression Inventory Score

"The Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) is a 21-item, self-report rating inventory that measures the severity of symptoms accompanying depression. Each item has a minimum score of 0 and a maximum score of 3, with higher numbers consistent with more severe symptoms. The score of each item is summed to amount the overall BDI score, with a minimum score of 0 and a maximum score of 63. Higher BDI scores are consistent with more severe depression. Score of 16 or greater is consistent with clinical depression.~Each participant completed the BDI every 2 weeks during each of the study phases throughout the 6-month study. Outcome measures reported consist of the average of two BDI scores from each phase of the study: the last 4 weeks of the GnRH agonist alone; weeks 6 and 8 of placebo alone; during the 4-week long estradiol phase (weeks 2 and 4 of estradiol) and the 4-week long progesterone phase (weeks 2 and 4 of progesterone)."
