Abstract excerpt
Sulfo-conjugated steroid hormones, such as dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS), pregnenolone sulfate or estrone-3-sulfate are abundant in the body, but are biologically inactive at classical androgen and estrogen steroid receptors. However, after carrier-mediated import and de-conjugation by the steroid sulfatase, these compounds participate in the overall steroid regulation of reproductive organs. The...
