Investigation of physiological effects induced by dehydroepiandrosterone in human endothelial cells and ovarian cancer cell line
Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is an endogenous hormone that acts as a ligand for several cellular receptors. An age-dependent decline in circulating levels of DHEA is linked to changes in various physiological functions. In gynecological clinical practice, DHEA is commonly prescribed to induce ovulation.
