7-Ketodehydroepiandrosterone (7-keto-DHEA,7-oxo-DHEA), also known as 7-oxoprasterone, is a prohormone produced by metabolism of the prohormone dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA).[1]

7-oxo-DHEA is even more effective than DHEA for inducing heat production (thermogenesis).[2] Because dieting is usually accompanied by reduced resting metabolic rate, obese persons may benefit from using 7-oxo-DHEA when dieting due to increased metabolic rate.[3]

7-Keto-DHEA is not directly converted to testosterone or estrogen, and has thus been investigated as a potentially more useful relative of DHEA.[4][5] Researchers have raised concern that supplements may trigger positive tests for performance-enhancing drugs.[6][7]

The World Anti-Doping Agency lists 7-keto-DHEA as a prohibited anabolic agent.[8] The FDA has proposed that it be banned from use in compounded drugs.[9]
