Dehydroandrosterone (DHA), or5-dehydroandrosterone (5-DHA), also known asisoandrostenolone, as well asandrost-5-en-3α-ol-17-one, is anendogenousandrogensteroid hormone.[1][2] It is the 3α-epimer ofdehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA; androst-5-en-3β-ol-17-one) and the 5(6)-dehydrogenated and non-5α-reducedanalogue ofandrosterone (5α-androstan-3α-ol-17-one).[2] DHA is produced in and secreted from theadrenal glands, along with other weak androgens like DHEA,androstenediol, andandrostenedione.[3]
