Dhea-S-New Trends in Clinical Practice

Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA-S) is a steroid hormone produced in the adrenal cortex. It is important for the functioning of the human body because it is involved in the proper functioning of the nervous and cardiovascular systems. Abnormal DHEA-S blood levels are de-scribed in many pathological processes, such as breast cancer, COVID-19 and depression. There-fore, its potential role in the treatment of certain disorders, including persistent perimenopausal symptoms in women, is under consideration. This publication summarizes the research on DHEA-S, its physiology and clinical application.
