In children, adolescents and rich people adrenal glands produce a hormone "elixir of youth"

Experts began to study the hormone degidroepiandosterona (DEA) from the 1950s. Since 2004, they have time to explore the ten thousand people. It was found that the adrenal glands produce this hormone in abundance in children and adolescents. With age, his figures are considerably reduced. For 80 years the number of DEA is typically less than 10% of that level, which was a man in adolescence.

At the same ones who lead a full life, these figures are virtually unchanged. Activity, numerous trips, sports activities, a large number of friends and interests - all this not only contributes to degidroepiandosterona, but usually only comes with wealth, the researchers note.

In addition to the properties of the elixir of life, DEA has a number of amazing qualities. Thus, it improves memory and helps to cope well with logical problems, particularly men.

In combination with another hormone, insulin-like growth factor IGF-1, DEA controls our reaction to stress and regulates various processes, including digestion, immunity, mood swings and distribution of energy throughout the body.

"In the future we will be able to raise the level of this hormone using pills, patches or injections," - said the study's author, Professor Michael Marmot of University College London.
