ProtocolIn VivoDHEA (Prasterone) in the diet (0.45 % w/w) of male B6 mice (groups of five mice) treated for 8 weeks led to significant decreases in body temperature compared with mice fed the control AIN-76A diet. A similar comparison indicated that control and pair-fed mice are also significantly different. Animals fed DHEA (Prasterone) have significantly lower temperatures than mice fed the control diet 26/29 times tested; mice pair fed to those on the DHEA (Prasterone) diet are less affected, with 8/29 values significantly lower than in mice fed AIN-76A ad libitum. The temperatures of mice fed DHEA (Prasterone) or pair fed to DHEA (Prasterone) are significantly different 21/29 times tested. Body weights are significantly greater in mice fed the control diet than in mice fed DHEA or pair fed to DHEA (Prasterone). Food intake (grams per day) from cages are averaged for each week (n=7), except for Week 9 (n=3). The amount of food intake is significantly decreased in mice fed DHEA (Prasterone). By design, mice pair fed to DHEA (Prasterone) ate about the same amount. Thus, it appears that DHEA (Prasterone) reduces body temperature by food restriction and by a separate mechanism
