Reduced production of DHEA associated with the diseases that
accompany aging has led to its use as a nutritional supplement for
antiaging, metabolic support, and other purposes. While animal
studies have clearly shown substantial benefits of DHEA in
combating various disease states, the effect of low levels of DHEA
in humans is less established, and the mechanisms of action and
potential involvement in illnesses remain unclear. DHEA in Human
Health and Aging reviews the past ten years of research into this
hormone and explores its potential for future study. With
contributions from a cadre of international experts, this volume
examines: The biology of DHEA relevant to health in humans Areas of
potential clinical importance concerning low levels of DHEA related
to age or physiological change Prevention as well as treatment of
various human disease states by changing DHEA levels The use of
DHEA levels in predicting the risk of disease The role of DHEA in
diabetes, fitness, infectious disease, cancer, AIDS, bone health,
cardiovascular diseases, autism, and mental health Animal models
and their relation to studies done on humans The effects of loss of
adrenal gland function, the subsequent reduction in DHEA
production, and its replacement as therapy Adverse effects in
DHEA-supplemented women Mechanisms of action of DHEA in prostate
and ovarian health, vascular modification, stress, memory,
aggression, and Alzheimer's disease Covering a wide range of
topics, the book is compiled from contributions of experts who have
each studied some aspect of DHEA and human or animal health or
disease. Every chapter is self-contained, allowing for focused
study on individual topics. Edited by one of the leading experts in
the field of nutrition, the book presents a compelling view of the
state of the science in DHEA.
