50mg of DHEA over 12 weeks in healthy postmenopausal women with an average age of 64.6yrs and who were sedentary at the start of the study.Funding issues for this study:
With the introduction of exercise, beneficial changes in body composition were due to exercise and there was no difference in the DHEA group relative to placebo.
A reduction in small dense LDL particles (oxidized LDL usually) was noted.
NIH grant, likely a nonissue
