Which among the following age-related syndrome is characterized by gradual decline in circulating levels of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and its sulfate (DHEAS)? Correct Answer Adrenopause

Adrenopause, a concept that describes the steady decrease in circulating dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and its sulphate levels, is the second demonstration of age-related changes in the hormonal system. DHEA’s adrenal secretion steadily declines over time, while corticotropin secretion remains relatively unchanged, and is physiologically related to plasma cortisol levels.
