DHEA Augmentation of Musculoskeletal Adaptations to Exercise in Older Women

No Longer Enrolling
If you join the study, you will be placed by chance into one of two research groups: 1) exercise and a study pill or 2) no exercise and a study pill. The study pill could be DHEA (50 mg/day) or a placebo. A placebo is a pill that looks like medicine but is not real. DHEA is a naturally occurring hormone that declines with age. In postmenopausal women, nearly all estrogen and most testosterone comes from DHEA. DHEA is considered a food supplement.
