Product Description
Mechanism of Action
Dehydropiandrosterone (DHEA) is an endogenous adrenal steroid and metabolic precursor to testosterone and estradiol. It modulates nuclear receptor activity, immune function, glucose metabolism and neurosteroid signalling. DHEA interacts with PPARs, sigma receptors and neurotransmitter systems, influencing stress responses and inflammatory cascades.
Benefits and Advantages
Used in endocrine‑axis modelling, steroidogenesis pathway studies, neurosteroid neuroscience research, immune‑modulation assays and metabolic‑disorder investigations.
Side Effects and Risks
Risks include androgenic effects, hormonal imbalance, mood changes, hepatotoxicity at high doses and cardiovascular concerns. Handle with steroid‑hormone safety procedures.
