Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS) is a metabolite of dehydroepiandrosterone that is the major secretory product of adrenal glands and is the predominant circulating precursor for active steroid hormones in humans. For example, in the fetoplacental-<wbr></wbr>maternal unit, DHEAS acts as the primary precursor for placental estrogen biosynthesis. A normal circulating concentration of DHEAS is ~10 µM in young adults and is dramatically increased in some adrenocortical disorders.
