What Is DHEA?

Male: 200-3350ng / ml (radioactive method).
Female: 100-600ng / ml before puberty (male and female); 700-3900ng / ml before menopause; 110-610ng / ml after menopause.

Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is mostly present in the form of sulfate conjugates (DHEA-s). About 90% of the blood circulation comes from the adrenal cortex reticular zone, and the serum concentration is mostly used to evaluate the situation of suspected excessive adrenal androgen secretion. Serum DHEA-S is closely related to the excretion of 17-ketosteroids in 24h urine, and its clinical significance is about the same.

Male: 200-3350ng / ml (radioactive method).

Clinical Significance of Dehydroepiandrosterone

DHEA-S increased: DHEA-S is usually normal in adrenal tumors, polycystic ovary syndrome, and delayed-type 21-hydroxylase-deficient glandular hyperplasia.

Dehydroepiandrosterone considerations

The addition of 3H-DHA 14000dpm / 50l in this article is an example, and generally can be determined according to the experimental conditions. However, the less the target antigen is, the more sensitive the method is.
