Age-associated decline in dehydroepiandrosterone concentration is often considered a carcinogenesis promoter. Inverse correlation have been found between insulin (r = -0,887: p < 0,05). age (r = -0,464; p < 0,01), cortisol (r = -0,667; p < 0,01) and dehydroepiandrosterone levels in the blood of healthy females with normal glucose tolerance. Said correlations were less pronounced in female controls with impaired glucose tolerance and were totally absent in cases of primary breast cancer.
