This is a high-level research text analyzing the latest studies of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), sometimes described as the anti-aging pill,pep pill,or even fountain of youth.It contains six chapters by world experts on the physiopathology of DHEA sulfate, the neuroactive properties of DHEA and DHEA sulfate, DHEA transformation into androgens and estrogens, DHEA in metabolic diseases, the use and effect of DHEA in humans, and DHEA use in postmenopausal women. Includes bibliographic references and index. Booknews Comprises six papers probing endocrinological and epidemiological aspects of the "anti-aging" adrenal steroid Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), from a December 1997 workshop sponsored by the International Health Foundation in Bosch en Duin, the Netherlands. They reflect renewed interest in the physiopathology of DHEA, as decreasing DHEA plasma levels with age has led to controversial speculation about its role in the aging process and incidence of age- associated pathologies. The workshop was dedicated to David de Wied, former director of the Rudolf Magnus Institute for Neurosciences, Utrecht U. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
