Did you mean Dehydroepiandrosterone Sulfate?

GlossaryDehydroepiandrosterone Sulfate

hormone precursor influencing sex hormones and hair growth

Dehydroepiandrosterone Sulfate (DHEA-S) is a hormone produced primarily by the adrenal glands, and it serves as a precursor to male and female sex hormones, including testosterone and estrogen. It plays a role in the development of secondary sexual characteristics and can influence hair growth and skin health. Elevated or decreased levels of DHEA-S can be indicative of various health conditions, such as adrenal disorders or polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).

community Please take a vitamin & hormone test

in Chat 256 upvotes 1 week ago

Checking vitamin and hormone levels is important for addressing hair loss, as deficiencies in vitamin D, zinc, and iron can affect hair growth. Treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and vitamin supplements are used, but addressing deficiencies is crucial for effectiveness.

community here is why isotretinoin might cause hair loss and maybe why dupa happens.

in Research/Science 7 upvotes 1 year ago

Isotretinoin may cause hair loss by increasing DHT through a precursor androgen, DHEAS. Treatments like topical antiandrogens (RU58841, pyrilutamide) and drugs increasing PPAR-y expression (pioglitazone) might prevent this hair loss.
