Abstract
Low concentrations of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS) enhanced neuronal and glial survival and/or differentiation in dissociated cultures of 14-day mouse embryo brain. Posttrial intracisternal injection into the brains of mice undergoing active avoidance training alleviated amnesia and enhanced long-term memory. By minimizing degenerative changes in injured nerve tissue and facilitating plastic changes, DHEA and DHEAS may be of use in treatment of neurodegenerative and memory disorders in man.Entities:
