Abstract
- This paper reviews and evaluates medical literature reports and hospital records in an attempt to elucidate the apparent relationship between the activity of the suprarenal cortex, particularly 17-ketosteroids, and arteriosclerosis. The .suggestion obtained is that a shortage of 17-ketosteroids, especially dehydroepiandrosterone, seems to accompany, and possibly have causal significance in, cases of arteriosclerotic disease. Persons with an overabundance of 17-ketosteroids, and perhaps more specifically of dehydroepiandrosterone, may be relatively protected. Preliminary results of a treatment with dehydroepiandrosterone are presented in an addendum. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
