From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

4-Dehydroepiandrosterone is an adrenal steroid that is an isomer to 5-DHEA. The endogenous formation of androstenedione has been well documented in healthy human and animal tissues. Under DSHEA, 4-DHEA is a natural metabolite of androstenedione and DHEA that is proven to occur in rabbits, sheep and rats.(1,2) It is a pro-hormone to 4-androstenedione and 4-Androstenediol via 3bHSD and 17bHSD respectively.
