Dehydroepiandrosterone (D), D sulphate (DS), testosterone (T) and oestradiol (OE2) were determined by radioimmunoassay; cortisol (F) by a spectrofluorimetric method in the serum of 54 female patients with SLE. The values were evaluated in two age groups (32 patients with active ovarian function and 22 in menopause). The serum cortisol, T and DS levels were decreased, and there was no difference in that of free (unconjugated) D and OE2 concentrations compared to normal female subjects.

D008180 Lupus Erythematosus, Systemic A chronic, relapsing, inflammatory, and often febrile multisystemic disorder of connective tissue, characterized principally by involvement of the skin, joints, kidneys, and serosal membranes. It is of unknown etiology, but is thought to represent a failure of the regulatory mechanisms of the autoimmune system. The disease is marked by a wide range of system dysfunctions, an elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and the formation of LE cells in the blood or bone marrow.

D003687 Dehydroepiandrosterone A major C19 steroid produced by the ADRENAL CORTEX. It is also produced in small quantities in the TESTIS and the OVARY. Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) can be converted to TESTOSTERONE; ANDROSTENEDIONE; ESTRADIOL; and ESTRONE. Most of DHEA is sulfated (DEHYDROEPIANDROSTERONE SULFATE) before secretion.
