MOUSE ANTI DEHYDROEPIANDROSTERONE

DEHYDROEPIANDROSTERONE

Purified IgG prepared by affinity chromatography on Protein A from tissue culture supernatant.

Detects dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) a steroid prohormone which is the precursor of all sex steroids. DHEA is produced primarily by the adrenal glands and together with its ester DHEA-sulphate (DHEAS) has been implicated in a wide range of physiological roles including aging immunology memory and obesity. In particular DHEA and DHEAS differentially regulate growth-factor induced proliferation of chromaffin cells and are thought to affect neurogenesis neuronal survival and neuronal stem cell proliferation. Blood measurements of DHEAS/DHEA are useful to detect excess adrenal activity due to adrenal cancer or hyperplasia including certain forms of congenital adrenal hyperplasia.
