Background Major depressive disorder (MDD) has been associated with low
dehydroepiandrosterone-sulphate (DHEAS),–particularly relative to high cortisol–although …

Background Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and its sulfated ester DHEA-sulfate (DHEA-
S),(together DHEA [S]), are the most abundant adrenal steroids in humans and are found in …

Stress is associated with activation of the hypothalamus-adrenal-axis (HPA). Cortisol, a
product of the HPA, is thought to predict depression. However, to date, the majority of studies …

OBJECTIVE: Clinical studies of endogenous concentrations of dehydroepiandrosterone
(DHEA) and its relation to depression are limited. This study examined whether pre-and post …

Depression is one of the major causes of disability worldwide, but the complete etiology of
depression is not fully understood. Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and its sulphated form …

Background Alterations in hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA)-axis activity, fatty acid
metabolism, and their relation have been associated with (recurrent) major depressive …

Background In recent years, a relationship between depression and basal
dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA-S) levels has …

Objective We attempted to investigate whether dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA‐S)
levels are associated with remission of major depressive disorder by assessing scores on …

OBJECTIVE: Hypercortisolaemia has been well described in depression and may be a
factor associated with treatment resistance. The role of the more abundant adrenal steroid …

Objective Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS) appears to have a protective effect
against depression, but contrasting findings are available. Therefore, we investigated …
