Androstenedione
Aka: Androstenedione, Dehydroepiandrosterone, DHEA- Epidemiology
- Androstenedione banned by IOC, NCAA, NFL
- DHEA banned by IOC
- Sources
- Androgen synthesized by gonads and Adrenal Gland
- Natural intermediaries in endogenous testosterone synthesis from Cholesterol
- Used by athletes as performance enhancer
- Available in Europe as nasal preparation
- Available in U.S. as oral tablet
- Androgen synthesized by gonads and Adrenal Gland
- Pharmacokinetics
- Little intrinsic activity
- Direct precursor of estrone and testosterone
- Increases Nitrogen retention
- Increases strength and muscle mass
- Adverse Effects (if sustained testosterone increase)
- Sustained increase in serum Estrogen
- Sustained increase in serum Luteinizing hormone
- Decreased HDL Cholesterol
- Priapism has occurred in case reports
- Efficacy
- Controlled studies do not show any strength or performance benefit

| Definition (NCI) | A synthetic form of dehydroepiandrosterone with potential chemopreventive activity. Produced endogenously, dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is an intermediate in the conversion of cholesterol to androgens and estrogens. Although the mechanisms of action of exogenously administered DHEA have not been fully illuminated, they may result in both direct and indirect physiologic effects. Direct effects include GABA-a receptor complex and NMDA receptor modulation, and enhanced pancreatic beta cell insulin secretion and antiglucocorticoid activities. (NCI04) |
| Definition (MSH) | A major C19 steroid produced by the ADRENAL CORTEX. It is also produced in small quantities in the TESTIS and the OVARY. Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) can be converted to TESTOSTERONE; ANDROSTENEDIONE; ESTRADIOL; and ESTRONE. Most of DHEA is sulfated (DEHYDROEPIANDROSTERONE SULFATE) before secretion. |
