Key facts

Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA-S)/Cortisol [Molar ratio] in Serum or Plasma
Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate/Cortisol
Dehydroepiandrosterone-S (DHEA-S) and cortisol are both hormones that are produced by the adrenal glands and secreted in response to stress. DHEA-S/cortisol ratio may indicate the degree to which an individual is buffered against the negative effects of stress. This ratio has been used as an index of adrenocortical function to identify patients with panic disorder, as they may have significantly higher values. [PMID2527376]
