Eight common genetic variants associated with serum DHEAS levels suggest a key role in ageing mechanisms.

Eight common genetic variants associated with serum DHEAS levels suggest a key role in ageing mechanisms.

Dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate (DHEAS) is the most abundant circulating steroid secreted by adrenal glands--yet its function is unknown. Its serum concentration declines significantly with increasing age, which has led to speculation that a relative DHEAS deficiency may contribute to the developmen...
