Dehydroepiandrosterone Sulfate

Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2, or SGLT2, inhibitors may be more cardioprotective for older adults, whereas glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists may confer greater HbA1c reductions in that population, according to a systematic review and meta-analysis.

The use of dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate to determine an adrenal insufficiency diagnosis has similar accuracy to using baseline cortisol level, according to findings published in The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism.

Girls with higher dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate levels at age 7 years are more likely to have more advanced pubertal development at age 10 and 13 years than those with lower levels, according to study findings.
