Descriptor deshidroepiandrosterona
Entry term(s) DHEA
deshidroisoandrosterona
prasterona
Scope note: Importante esteroide C19 producido por la CORTEZA SUPRARRENAL. Se sintetiza también en pequeñas cantidades en el TESTÍCULO y el OVARIO. La deshidroepiandrosterona (DHEA) puede convertirse en TESTOSTERONA, ANDROSTENODIONA, ESTRADIOL y ESTRONA. La mayor parte de la DHEA es sulfatada (SULFATO DE DESHIDROEPIANDROSTERONA) antes de la secreción.

Scope note: A major C19 steroid produced by the ADRENAL CORTEX. It is also produced in small quantities in the TESTIS and the OVARY. Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) can be converted to TESTOSTERONE; ANDROSTENEDIONE; ESTRADIOL; and ESTRONE. Most of DHEA is sulfated (DEHYDROEPIANDROSTERONE SULFATE) before secretion.
