We evaluated dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS) levels in premature ovarian failure (POF) patients with and without Hashimoto's thyroiditis, and the impact of DHEA supplementation on thyroid autoantibodies. In a retrospective case series, we included 67 women with spontaneous POF who received estrogen/gestagen replacement with or without DHEA (30 mg/day) for 3 months. Women who were seropositive for thyroglobulin antibodies and/or thyroperoxidase autoantibodies (n = 30) revealed lower pretherapeutic DHEAS levels (1.2 μg/ml, range 0.4-2.9 μg/ml vs. 1.9 μg/ml, range 0.2-3.9 μg/ml; p < 0.001). DHEAS showed an inverse correlation with both thyroglobulin antibodies (r = -0.426, p < 0.001) and thyroperoxidase autoantibodies (r = -0.362, p = 0.002). When treated with additional DHEA, significant decreases were found for thyroperoxidase autoantibodies (median 85.0 IU/ml, range 41-600 IU/ml vs. median 51.0 IU/ml, range 20-589 IU/ml; p = 0.005) but not for thyroglobulin antibodies.
我们评估了伴有和不伴有桥本甲状腺炎的卵巢早衰(POF)患者的硫酸脱氢表雄酮(DHEAS)水平,以及 DHEA 补充对甲状腺自身抗体的影响。在一项回顾性病例系列研究中,我们纳入了 67 名接受雌激素/孕激素替代治疗的自发性 POF 女性,其中 30 名同时接受 DHEA(30mg/天)治疗 3 个月。甲状腺球蛋白抗体和/或甲状腺过氧化物酶自身抗体阳性的女性(n=30)的治疗前 DHEAS 水平较低(1.2μg/ml,范围 0.4-2.9μg/ml 与 1.9μg/ml,范围 0.2-3.9μg/ml;p<0.001)。DHEAS 与甲状腺球蛋白抗体(r=-0.426,p<0.001)和甲状腺过氧化物酶自身抗体(r=-0.362,p=0.002)呈负相关。当接受额外的 DHEA 治疗时,甲状腺过氧化物酶自身抗体显著下降(中位数 85.0IU/ml,范围 41-600IU/ml 与中位数 51.0IU/ml,范围 20-589IU/ml;p=0.005),但甲状腺球蛋白抗体没有下降。
