7-Keto-dehydroepiandrosterone, CAS No. 566-19-8 CAS NO.566-19-8

properties:

dehydroepiandrosterone is a white crystalline powder, no smell, no smell, stability in the air.

dehydroepiandrosterone/dehydroepiandrostenedione (dhea, more correctly didehydroepiandrosterone), also known

as androstenolone as well as 3β-hydroxyandrost-5-en-17-one or 5-androsten-3β-ol-17-one, is an important endogenous

steroid hormone. in its pharmaceutical drug form it is called prasterone (inn). it is the most abundant circulating steroid

hormone in humans, in whom it is produced in the adrenal glands, the gonads, and the brain, where it functions

predominantly as a metabolic intermediate in the biosynthesis of the androgen and estrogen sex steroids. however, dhea

also has a variety of potential biological effects in its own right, binding to an array of nuclear and cell surface receptors,

and acting as a neurosteroid.

application:

7-keto-dhea (also known as 7-keto, 7-ketodehydroepiandrosterone, or 7-oxodehydroepiandrosterone)is a steroid produced by metabolism of the prohormone dehydroepiandrosterone (dhea). 7-keto is not

directly converted to testosterone or estrogen, and has thus been investigated as a potentially more useful

relative of dhea. it is often used as the acetate ester prodrug 7-keto-dhea acetate.

increased metabolism/weight loss:

7-keto achieves this thermogenic effect without cardiovascular or central nervous system side effects, which

are commonly seen with stimulant-associated thermogenic agents.

age-related immune enhancement:

in a clinical study presented at the federation of american societies for experimental biology meeting in april 2004,

the effect of 7-keto was evaluated in regard to its effect on elderly immune function.
