The most advanced scientific research concerning DHEA has centered on treating systemic lupus erythematosus, an autoimmune disease of connective tissue. Symptoms of systemic lupus erythematosus include arthritis, fever, and rash. Systemic lupus erythematosus can also affect the central nervous system and internal organs like the kidneys. Because DHEA has shown effectiveness when used in connection with systemic lupus erythematosus, a prescription form of DHEA may be close to approval by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use with this condition.
Since levels of DHEA decrease as people get older, some researchers believe that restoring DHEA to higher levels may delay some of the effects of aging.
