Which adrenal androgen is derived from Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA)?

Which adrenal androgen is derived from Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA)? Correct Answer Δ4-androstenedione

Δ4-androstenedione is a DHEA derivative. Androstenedione is the precursor to a more potent male hormone, testosterone. Steroid hormones with poor androgenic activity are adrenal androgens (AAs), usually secreted by the foetal adrenal zone and the zona reticularis of the adrenal cortex.
