DHEA and the Brain reviews a range of existing studies regarding
DHEA administration to animals and humans. Chapter authors evaluate
DHEA metabolism in tissues and organs, explore DHEA effects in the
liver that may be of importance to the brain, and discuss recent
findings regarding how DHEA is made in the brain. New perspectives
about the neuroprotective effects of DHEA are presented, as well as
insight related to DHEA metabolism in the brain. A number of health
benefits have been associated with dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA),
including anti-cancer, anti-osteoporosis, anti-atherosclerosis,
anti-diabetes, immuno-stimulating, and memory-enhancing effects.
This has prompted millions of people to take this hormone as a
daily nutritional supplement. However, there is some concern that
prolonged self-administration may result in future health problems,
as well as unease about potential side effects due to the
production of steroid derivatives in the tissues. Featuring an
esteemed panel of contributors, this volume provides an
authoritative overview of the research concerning DHEA and the
brain. It presents a variety of innovative approaches and ideas for
future investigations into the physiological actions of this
hormone.
