Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate
Catalog No. A39903

Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA sulfate) functions as a GABA(A) receptor antagonist and a σ1 receptor agonist. This neurosteroid, primarily secreted by the adrenal gland, is capable of partially penetrating the blood-brain barrier. It inhibits GABA(A) receptor-mediated chloride influx while enhancing NMDA receptor activity via σ1 receptor interaction, displaying anti-inflammatory and antidepressant properties. DHEA sulfate is relevant for research in neuroprotection, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and Alzheimer’s disease, and may serve as a biomarker for cardiovascular disease mortality due to its correlation with mortality rates.
