DHEA-Sulfate

REF 20-01

ELISA kit for the quantitative determination of dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate in human serum.

Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA-S) is a steroid hormone produced mainly by adrenal cortex. The function of DHEA-S in the organism is not definitely specified. The hormone has a weak androgenic effect. It can be converted into testosterone, a very strong androgen, in peripheral tissues. DHEA-S does not bind to special transport proteins in blood circulation. DHEA-S secretion expresses no circadian. Quantitative assay of DHEA-S is required  for differential diagnostics of ovariopathies as well as for adrenal function assessment in pubescence and for differential diagnostics of Cushing syndrome and Cushing disease.
