DHEA in Human Health and Aging 452 pages | Publisher: CRC Press | 2012 | Language: English | ISBN-10: 1439838836 ISBN-13: 978-1439838839 | Price: $152.80When Magnesium Oil is sprayed on the skin bring the DHEA levels back to normal in the body within 30 to 45 days    Discusses how DHEA is associated with physiological changes in animals and primates        Explores the role of DHEA in general nutrition, health promotion, and disease prevention        Examines potential risks of using the DHEA hormone    Describes the holistic role of DHEA regulators as applied to disease prevention and healthSummaryReduced production of DHEA associated with the diseases that accompany aging has led to its use as a nutritional supplement for antiaging, metabolic support, and other purposes. While animal studies have clearly shown substantial benefits of DHEA in combating various disease states, the effect of low levels of DHEA in humans is less established, and the mechanisms of action and potential involvement in illnesses remain unclear. DHEA in Human Health and Aging reviews the past ten years of research into this hormone and explores its potential for future study.With contributions from a cadre of international experts, this volume examines:    The biology of DHEA relevant to health in humans    Areas of potential clinical importance concerning low levels of DHEA related to age or physiological change    Prevention as well as treatment of various human disease states by changing DHEA levels    The use of DHEA levels in predicting the risk of disease    The role of DHEA in diabetes, fitness, infectious disease, cancer, AIDS, bone health, cardiovascular diseases, autism, and mental health    Animal models and their relation to studies done on humans    The effects of loss of adrenal gland function, the subsequent reduction in DHEA production, and its replacement as therapy    Adverse effects in DHEA-supplemented women    Mechanisms of action of DHEA in prostate and ovarian health, vascular modification, stress, memory, aggression, and Alzheimer’s diseaseCovering a wide range of topics, the book is compiled from contributions of experts who have each studied some aspect of DHEA and human or animal health or disease. Every chapter is self-contained, allowing for focused study on individual topics. Edited by one of the leading experts in the field of nutrition, the book presents a compelling view of the state of the science in DHEA.Table of Contents:Overviews of Key DHEA Modified ConditionsDHEA versus Androstenediol in Middle-Aged Women; B.
