This article is about DHEA sulfate as a hormone. For its use as a medication, see Prasterone sulfate.
Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate, abbreviated as DHEA sulfate or DHEA-S, also known as androstenolone sulfate, is an endogenous androstane steroid that is produced by the adrenal cortex.[1] It is the 3β-sulfate ester and a metabolite of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and circulates in far greater relative concentrations than DHEA.[2] The steroid is hormonally inert and is instead an important neurosteroid and neurotrophin.[2]
