DHEA-Sulfate is a hormone produced by the adrenal glands that serves as a precursor to both testosterone and estrogen. It's the most abundant steroid hormone in the body and declines steadily with age. Testing DHEA-S can help evaluate adrenal function, PCOS in women, and hormone imbalances. It's also used to investigate symptoms like fatigue, low libido, and unexplained hair loss.
DHEA-Sulfate — the most abundant adrenal androgen, peaking at age 25 then declining ~10% per decade. Used to evaluate adrenal function, premature pubarche, hirsutism in women, and androgenic alopecia.
