4-Dehydroepiandrosterone (4-DHEA) is an adrenal steroid that is an isomer of 5-dehydroepiandrosterone. 4-DHEA is a natural metabolite of androstenedione that occurs in tissues of rabbits, sheep and rats.[1][2] Additionally, it exists in all mammals that have the 3bHSD enzyme system and can produce 4-androstenedione.
