This Just In! Low Levels of this Hormone may predict Heart Disease
January 28th, 2015 at 6:49 pm

Sorry about last week. Thanks for your concern for my wellbeing. I have been busy getting February's Events together so look for that on Sunday.

A few articles will be geared towards Heart Health and Heart Disease Prevention.

Low Levels of This Hormone May

Predict Coronary Heart Disease

 

A recent study sheds light on a hormonal marker for heart disease...read ON!

The most abundant steroid hormone in the human body, dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is involved in the manufacture of testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, and corticosterone. 

 Claes Ohlsson, from Sahlgrenska Academy (Sweden), and colleagues monitored 2,614 men, ages 69 to 80 years, who resided in 3 Swedish communities, for five years, during which DHEA levels were assessed. The findings demonstrated that the lower the DHEA level at the study start, the greater the risk of coronary heart disease events during the five-year follow-up.  The study authors report that: “Low serum levels of DHEA and its sulfate predict an increased risk of [coronary heart disease], but not [cerebrovascular disease], events in elderly men.”

It is unclear whether or not this finding would be applicable for elderly women or not.  We offer an assay at $130 for DHEA. Please call if you are interested in knowing your levels of this important hormone.
