GlossaryAndrosterone

steroid hormone influencing male traits and hair growth

Androsterone is a steroid hormone that is a metabolite of testosterone and dihydrotestosterone (DHT). It plays a role in the development of male characteristics and can influence hair growth patterns. While it is less potent than testosterone, it still contributes to the overall androgenic activity in the body.
