Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS) is a metabolite of dehydroepiandrosterone that is the major secretory product of adrenal glands and is the predominant circulating precursor for active steroid hormones in humans.{25852} For example, in the fetoplacental-maternal unit, DHEAS acts as the primary precursor for placental estrogen biosynthesis.{25851} A normal circulating concentration of DHEAS is ~10 µM in young adults and is dramatically increased in some adrenocortical disorders.{25852}
