A recent study published in [style=font-style:italic;]Diabetologia[/style]investigated the impact of DHEA, DHEAS, androstenedione, and the ratio of DHEAS to DHEA on type II diabetes.
Data from 5,189 men and women were gathered. After adjusting for age, sex, cohort, fasting status, fasting glucose, insulin, and BMI, [style=font-weight:bold;]"both serum DHEA and serum DHEAS levels were inversely[/style]associated with risk of type II diabetes in the total population." Further analysis showed that androstenedione was not associated with risk of type II diabetes, not what the DHEAS to DHEA ratio.
