DHEA/Nutrient Depletion:- LipidsLipids: In humans, DHEA use has resulted in a decrease in HDL-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, total cholesterol, apoAI, and very low-density lipoproteins (107;116;37;117;46). An increase in HDL-cholesterol and apoAI levels has also been observed (118). However, one study found that DHEA had no effect on total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol and HDL-cholesterol levels (109).
- GlucoseGlucose: A decrease of blood glucose has been noted in a clinical trial (8); DHEA administration improved glucose tolerance (OGTT) in another study (119). However, 50mg daily DHEA was found separately to have no effect on serum glucose (109).
