DHEA sulfate

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

DHEA sulfate is a metabolite of DHEA produced by the addition of a sulfate molecule, catalyzed by the enzymes SULT1A1 and SULT1E1 which also produce estrone sulfate from estrone. DHEA sufalte can also be back-converted to DHEA through the action of steroid sulfatase.

DHEA sulfate levels decline as a person ages.
