7α-Hydroxy-DHEA
7α-Hydroxy-DHEA (7α-Hydroxydehydroepiandrosterone) is a 7α-hydroxylated metabolite of DHEA , catalyzed by intracellular steroid 7α-hydroxylases such as P450 2A1. 7α-Hydroxy-DHEA exhibits biological activity comparable to DHEA but does not convert into compounds with androgenic or estrogenic activity. It induces the activity of thermogenic enzymes such as mitochondrial sn-glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase and cytosolic malic enzyme, enhancing heat production and reducing food utilization efficiency. As a more efficient and safer metabolite compared to DHEA, 7α-Hydroxy-DHEA holds potential for studies in the fields of obesity, metabolic diseases, and adrenal carcinoma[1].
