In rats, oral oleoyl-DHEA is rapidly hydrolysed and converted to DHEA-sulphate

Abstract: Background: Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) released by adrenal glands may be converted to androgens and estrogens mainly in the gonadal, adipose, mammary, hepatic and nervous tissue. DHEA is also a key neurosteroid and has antiglucocorticoid activity. DHEA has been used for the treatment of a number of diseases, including obesity; its pharmacological effects depend on large oral doses, which effect rapidly wanes in part because of its short half-life in plasma. Since steroid hormone esters circulate for longer … Show more

“…This hypothesis is reinforced by the observation that oleoyl‐DHEA, i.e. the substitution of estrone by another 17‐keto steroid results in the practically quantitative hydrolysis of the compound, with a fast kinetics of plasma levels of DHEA, a significant difference with the case for estrone.…”

“…A testosterona administrada por via oral é rapidamente absorvida, entretanto, é extensivamente biotransformada no fígado, antes de alcançar a circulação sistêmica (KENNEDY, 2000;SERRANO et al, 2007). (HARDMAN et al, 1996;MOTTRAM & GEORGE, 2000;KARILA, 2003).…”
