for Older Women Too
(NY, Reuters Health,1/13/04)
Dr. Alessandro D. Genazzani of the University of Modena,
Italy, and team, gave 20 menopausal women 25 mg of
dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) daily for one year. The subjects
experienced decreases in menopausal symptoms, like hot
flashes, and increases in estrogen, testosterone,
dihydrotestosterone and progesterone levels without side
effects. These findings suggest that DHEA may be a safe,
effective alternative to Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT). |
