    Glossary Dihydrotestosterone

    potent androgen hormone derived from testosterone

    Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is a potent androgen hormone derived from testosterone through the action of the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase. It plays a crucial role in the development of male characteristics and is also implicated in conditions like androgenic alopecia (male pattern baldness) and benign prostatic hyperplasia.
