Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is considered an endogenous steroid hormone precursor, and 17-ß estradiol (E2) is one of the estrogen steroid hormones. Of the 13 known human cytosolic sulfotransferases (SULTs), SULT2B1a has been shown to be expressed in steroid hormone-responsive tissues such as the prostate, ovary, and placenta, as well as the fetal brain. Previous studies have demonstrated that...
