7α-Hydroxy-DHEA
Based on 1 Customer Validation
7α-Hydroxy-DHEA (7α-Hydroxydehydroepiandrosterone) is a 7α-hydroxylated metabolite of DHEA (HY-14650), catalyzed by intracellular steroid 7α-hydroxylases such as P450 2A1. 7α-Hydroxy-DHEA exhibits biological activity comparable to DHEA but does not convert into compounds with androgenic or estrogenic activity. It induces the activity of thermogenic enzymes such as mitochondrial sn-glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase and cytosolic malic enzyme, enhancing heat production and reducing food utilization efficiency. As a more efficient and safer metabolite compared to DHEA, 7α-Hydroxy-DHEA holds potential for studies in the fields of obesity, metabolic diseases, and adrenal carcinoma.

Research Protocol for Metabolic Diseases
AMP-activated protein kinase, AMPK, is a conserved cellular energy sensor that responds to reduced cellular energy status and coordinates metabolism by increasing ATP-generating catabolic pathways while suppressing ATP-consuming anabolic processes. In metabolic disease research, the AMPK pathway is experimentally relevant because it regulates hepatic lipid synthesis, fatty acid oxidation, glucose production, skeletal-muscle glucose disposal, mTORC1-linked biosynthesis, autophagy, mitochondrial homeostasis, and whole-body energy balance. The central pathway logic is that energy stress, metformin, exercise-like stimulation, or direct AMPK activators increase AMPKα Thr172 phosphorylation and downstream substrate phosphorylation, including ACC and RAPTOR. Phosphorylation of ACC suppresses lipogenesis and supports fatty acid oxidation, whereas phosphorylation of RAPTOR suppresses mTORC1 signaling and links cellular energy status to growth and protein synthesis control. The pathway is linked
