Abstract

The therapeutic effect of DHEA-S has been studied in 15 cases of intra-uterine growth retardation. This double-blind study has not been able to demonstrate any difference between the effect DHEA-S and of NaCl on oestriol excretion, HPL values, and biparietal diameter. Only the uterine growth seems to be affected by DHEA-S. Thus it can be concluded that DHEA-S has no therapeutic effect on placental insufficiency.
