Question

which type of hormone is an hormone named dehydroepiandrosterone

Answer 1

Dehydroepiandrosterone (commonly known as Androstenolone), is an endogenous steroid hormone. It is abbreviated as DHEA. It is a hormone produced by our body's adrenal glands (present at the top of the kidney). Its molecular formula is C19H28O2. It is an important precursor hormone, and is the most abundant circulating steroid present in the human body. It has little biological effect on its own but has powerful effects when converted into other hormones such as sex steroids
