Description
Summary:Department of Animal and Nutritional Sciences, Human Nutrition Laboratory, University of New Hampshire, Durham, New Hampshire 03824 The biological role of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and its less active sulphated conjugate DHEAS was investigated in two experiments using Yucatan miniature swine. In experiment 1 , plasma levels of both DHEA(S) among males were greater than female pigs that ranged in age from 0.3 to 84 mo old ( P
