Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is an important precursor hormone. Precursors are substances that are converted by the body into hormones. DHEA is the highest circulating steroid present in the human body. It does not have much biological effect on its own but is powerful when converted into hormones such as testosterone and estradiol. DHEA is produced from cholesterol by the outer layer of the adrenal glands. It is also produced in small amounts by the ovary and testes. DHEA is an important source of estrogen for women. DHEA production gradually increases from age 10, peaks during the 20s, and slowly decreases into old age.
