Exogenous dehydroisoandrosterone sulfate reverses the dendritic changes of the central neurons in aging male rats

Central Administration of a Cytochrome P450-7B Product 7α-Hydroxypregnenolone Improves Spatial Memory Retention in Cognitively Impaired Aged Rats

Evidence is provided for a biologically active enzyme product 7α-hydroxyPREG and suggests that reduced CYP7B function in the hippocampus of memory-impaired aged rats may, in part, be overcome by administration of 7 α-hydroxylated metabolite PREG.

Oxidative Stress-Mediated Brain Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) Formation in Alzheimer’s Disease Diagnosis

The cumulative evidence for oxidative stress as a natural regulator of DHEA formation is presented and the use of this concept to develop a blood-based diagnostic tool for neurodegenerative diseases linked to oxidative stress, such as AD is developed.

Dehydroepiandrosterone: A neuroactive steroid

The clinical and therapeutic potentials of dehydroepiandrosterone and pregnenolone in schizophrenia

Dehydroepiandrosterone upregulates neural androgen receptor level and transcriptional activity.

The findings suggest that the mechanism of action of DHEA in the brain can involve a "crosstalk" cellular signaling system that involves both nongenomic and genomic components.

Dehydroepiandrosterone-sulfate as a biomarker of senescence in male non-human primates

Reduced sulfotransferase SULT2A1 activity in patients with Alzheimer's disease.

Low ratios of steroid conjugates to their unconjugated counterparts (C/U) demonstrate an association between attenuated sulfation of C19 steroids in adrenal zona reticularis and the pathophysiology of AD.

Immunohistochemical analysis of a novel dehydroepiandrosterone sulfotransferase-like protein in Drosophila neural circuits.

In vitro metabolism of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) to 7α-hydroxy-DHEA and Δ5-androstene-3β,17β-diol in specific regions of the aging brain from Alzheimer’s and non-demented patients

Dehydroepiandrosterone Sulphate (DHEAS) in the Oldest Old, Aged 85 and Over a

DHEAS is one of the few compounds that shows a gradual decrease with advancing age, reaching an asymptotic low at the age of the maximum recorded life span and many uncertainties concerning the role of DHEAS in the neuro-immuno-endocrine network have yet to be unravelled.

It is possible to suggest that the increase in the brain content of ALLO, rather than 5α-DHP, mediates the effect of PREG sulfate on dizocilpine- or CPPene-induced cognition deficit.
