Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), also known as androstenolone, is an endogenous steroid hormone precursor.^[4] It is one of the most abundant circulating steroids in humans.^[5] DHEA is produced in the adrenal glands,^[6] the gonads, and the brain.^[7] It functions as a metabolic intermediate in the biosynthesis of the androgen and estrogen sex steroids both in the gonads and in various other tissues.^[4]^[8]^[9] However, DHEA also has a variety of potential biological effects in its own right, binding to an array of nuclear and cell surface receptors,^[10] and acting as a neurosteroid and modulator of neurotrophic factor receptors.^[11]

In the United States, DHEA is sold as an over-the-counter supplement, and medication called prasterone.
