Animal study, finds that DHEA inhibited 11beta-HSD type I and thus improved glucose uptake and adipocyte proliferation. This effect occurred peripherally.
These data demonstrate a high cooperation rate with in-home salivary specimen collection from older adults and good validity of sex hormone measurements
New study finds "modest" association between Testosterone, DHEA, and FSH with libido, masturbation, and climax in women. The author describes them as "subtle". The association was not statistically significant. The study found a great association with relationships than with Testosterone.
This study points out the complexity that is libido in women. It also casts doubt on the massive Testosterone push in women with little documented data.
Study finds Testosterone induces apoptosis via deactivation of NGF. Testosterone counters the proliferation of DHEA, via NGF activation. Without evaluation of aromatase activity, this study is incomplete.
