EFFECT OF MEALS ON SERUM DHEA

脱氢表雄酮是一种在肾上腺中制造的荷尔蒙，它似乎可以保护 心脏病发作的人。目前，人们对这些问题知之甚少。 控制血液中这种荷尔蒙水平的因素。一 刺激肾上腺的条件是进餐。 因此，预计当一个人吃东西时，他的血液中DHEA的水平 应该会上升。然而，首席调查员在初步调查中发现 研究表明，这一水平实际上是随着用餐的减少而下降的。其他人已经展示了 胰岛素增强了脱氢表雄酮从血清中的清除(或清除)。 通常认为，血清脱氢表雄酮的下降是由 一顿饭中的胰岛素升高。该项目的目标是测试这一点 通过监测DHEA的下降并将其与 一顿标准膳食后胰岛素的增加。

DHEA is a hormone made in the adrenal gland that appears to protect people from heart attacks. At this time little is known about those factors that control the level of this hormone in the blood. One condition that stimulates the adrenal gland is the consumption of a meal. Hence, it was anticipated that when a person ate, his blood level of DHEA should rise. However, the Principal Investigator found in preliminary studies, that the level actually goes down with meals. Others have shown that insulin enhances the clearance (or removal) of DHEA from the serum. It is often reasoned that the decrease in serum DHEA is caused by the rise in insulin of a meal. The goal of this project is to test this hypothesis by monitoring the fall of DHEA and comparing it with the increase in insulin in response to a standard meal.
