Summary:

DHEA is a native steroid that declines with progressive age. It has recently been found to prevent carcinogenesis, to show anti- diabetogenic action, and to be of interest in connection with atherosclerosis, hypertension, memory disorders, fat mobilization, cancer treatment, fatigue syndromes, blood cholesterol, Alzheimer's disease, multiple sclerosis.... DHEA's broad biologic action and its potential relevance to clinical disease are explored here in 24 contributions. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
