Postmenopausal steroid replacement with micronized dehydroepiandrosterone: preliminary oral bioavailability and dose proportionality studies.

Abstract:

OBJECTIVES:Because dehydroepiandrosterone may protect against neoplasia, osteoporosis, and cardiac disease, we investigated the bioavailability of oral micronized dehydroepiandrosterone, anticipating its adjunctive use in postmenopausal steroid replacement. STUDY DESIGN:Eight postmenopausal women randomly received either a placebo or 150 or 300 mg of oral micronized dehydroepiandrosterone in a lipid matrix. Serum dehydroepiandrosterone, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate, testosterone, and estradiol were measured periodically over the 12 hours after each dose. All treatments, all doses, and mean serum dehydroepiandrosterone, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate, and testosterone were compared with analysis of variance for repeated measures and Newman-Keuls a posteriori test of statistical significance. RESULTS:Mean peak steroid concentrations after 150 mg (300 mg) doses were dehydroepiandrosterone 1617 (2639) ng/dl, 7 (11.5)-fold above placebo; dehydroepiandrosterone S 1185 (1688) micrograms/dl, 14 (20)-fold above placebo; and testosterone 183 (311) ng/dl, 4 (7)-fold above placebo. Estradiol concentrations remained less than 20 pg/ml, but androgen concentrations rose by 1 hour and remained elevated through the twelfth hour. Peak androgen concentrations and areas under the curves exhibited proportionality with both doses. A testosterone radioimmunoassay with celite chromatography revealed a 300% overestimation for testosterone in the direct-assay method used in this study. Thus after appropriate readjustment maximum testosterone concentrations were observed consistently within physiologic premenopausal ranges after the 150 mg dose. CONCLUSIONS:Micronized dehydroepiandrosterone may provide a steroidal postmenopausal replacement that is adjunctive to estrogens and worthy of further investigation.
