    Dehydroepiandrosterone supplementation and bone turnover in middle-aged to elderly men

    Unknown authors

    Published in Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism

    Key Findings

    Six months of oral DHEA restored circulating DHEA/DHEA-S but did not affect bone turnover markers in middle-aged to elderly men.

    Conclusions

    Restoring DHEA levels does not automatically translate to downstream physiological benefit in men.

    Outcomes Measured

    DHEA Enhancement

    We conclude that oral DHEA does not affect bone turnover in middle-aged to elderly men when used for a 6-month period at doses targeted to restore circulating levels of the steroid.
