General description

25-hydroxy-cholesterol is a metabolite of cholesterol. It is produced by macrophages.
DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) is an endogenous steroid hormone secreted by the adrenal gland. DHEA serves as precursor to male and female sex hormones (androgens and estrogens).
Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is a carbon (C)-19 neuroactive steroid. It is synthesized by the adrenal gland in humans and mammals.

Biochem/physiol Actions

25-hydroxy-cholesterol represses the production of IgA by B cells, manages the migration of activated B cells in the germinal follicle. It regulates the differentiation of monocytes into macrophages. 25-hydroxy-cholesterol plays a critical role in lipid biosynthesis and immunity. It inhibits sterol regulatory element-binding protein (SREBP) proteolytic processing and modulates cholesterol metabolism.
Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) regulates neural functions, such as neurogenesis, neuroprotection, neuronal growth and differentiation. It is used to treat multiple sclerosis. DHEA acts as a precursor of sex steroid biosynthesis.

Dehydroepiandrosterone producing adrenocortical zona reticularis and the adrenal medulla are in direct contact and are highly intermingled in many species. This results in potentially strong paracrine influences of high local dehydroepiandrosterone concentrations on the adrenal medulla. Dehydroepiandrosterone has neuroprotective properties
P Ebeling et al.
Lancet (London, England), 343(8911), 1479-1481 (1994-06-11)
Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), with its sulphate conjugate (DHEAS), is the most abundant steroid hormone in the circulation but its physiological importance is unclear. We propose that DHEA has either oestrogen-like or androgen-like effects depending on the hormonal milieu. In premenopausal women
