dehydroepiandrosterone and Rheumatoid Arthritis

dehydroepiandrosterone has been researched along with Rheumatoid Arthritis in 57 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.

( Anders, S; Naumann, H; Schmidt, M; Schölmerich, J; Straub, RH; Weidler, C, 2005)

"The etiology of rheumatoid arthritis has been elusive, but it finally seems to be explained by a combination of three factors: (i) a relatively mild deficiency of cortisol, the normal adrenocortical hormone that is essential for normal immunity but which has achieved a bad reputation because of the use of excessive dosages of it or its stronger derivatives, (ii) a deficiency of dehydro-epi-androsterone (DHEA), the chief androgen produced by the human adrenal cortex but which has been little studied, and (iii) infection by organisms such as mycoplasma, which have a relatively low virulence, are difficult to culture in the laboratory, and cause inflammation and destruction of tissue in periarticular and articular areas of immunocompromised hosts."1.30The etiology of rheumatoid arthritis. ( Jefferies, WM, 1998)
" Prednisolone therapy in 22 patients (mean dosage 8 mg/day) was associated with reductions in estrone and testosterone levels; however, DHEAS and femoral BMD were also decreased in RA patients who were not receiving corticosteroids."1.27Sex hormone status and osteoporosis in postmenopausal women with rheumatoid arthritis. ( Champion, GD; Eisman, JA; Pocock, NA; Sambrook, PN, 1988)
