Glossary3α-Androstanediol

metabolite of DHT involved in hair follicle regulation

3α-Androstanediol, also known as 3α-diol, is a metabolite of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a potent androgen hormone. It plays a role in the regulation of androgenic activity in tissues, including the skin and hair follicles. Elevated levels of DHT are often associated with conditions like androgenic alopecia (male pattern baldness), making 3α-Androstanediol relevant in studies of hair loss and related treatments.
