>Has anyone heard of DHEA affecting metabolism?

Since it is thought to burn fat, and build muscle, that implies an effect on 
metabolism.

I had heard that DHEA does not have the negative feedback loop like cortisol 
does, so if you take DHEA, regardless of the levels it will not suppress 
your own natural DHEA production.

It is known that in some people, that taking DHEA will actually lower 
excessive cortisol levels.  Both Durrant-Peatfield and Atkins made this 
claim.  If you search it on the Internet, John C. Lowe agrees with them, but 
explains why it doesn't always work that way.
