MeSH Heading: Dehydroepiandrosterone
Tree Number(s): D04.210.500.054.079.429.625; D04.210.500.578.502.400; D06.472.040.502.400; D06.472.334.851.968.952
Unique ID: D003687
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D003687
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.
