| DHEA Experiments | Cell Lines | ||
| Mouse cell lines | Rat sub-cultured cells | Human cell lines | |
| Effect on melanoma cell growth | Decreased mouse melanoma cell growth significantly |
| No significant decrease on human melanoma cell growth |
| Effect on gastric cancer cell growth |
|
| No effect at all on human gastric cancer cell growth |
| Effect on vascular smooth muscle cell growth |
| Modeerate decrease in cell growth due to differentiation of cells |
|
| Effect on adipogenesis | Decreased 3T3-L1 preadiposcyte differentiation to fat cell and hence decreased adipogenesis |
|
|
| Anabolic action | Promoted differentiation of mouse mesenchymal stem cell line 10T1/2 to myotubes |
