Effect of Mindfulness‐Based Stress Reduction on dehydroepiandrosterone‐sulfate in adults with self‐reported stress. A randomized trial
Abstract Long‐term stress can lead to long‐term increased cortisol plasma levels, which increases the risk of numerous diseases. Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and its sulfated form dehydroepiandrosterone‐sulfate (DHEAS), together DHEA(S), have shown to counteract some of the effects of cortisol and...
