Interaction Information:

Comment The study tested whether low concentrations of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) might have an impact on any relevant metabolic markers in hepatic cells. HepG2 cells were treated with 1 nM DHEA, and tandem mass spectrometry was used to measure various metabolic parameters of the cells, including acylcarnitines and amino acids. No changes in acylcarnitines were evident. However, although glycine, serine, proline, and aspartate levels did not change in treated cells, we reproducibly observed that the levels of alanine, arginine, valine, leucine, isoleucine, tyrosine, phenylalanine, methionine, and histidine levels were reduced about 50% by 1 nM DHEA.
