    Glossary Dihydrotestosterone Synthesis

    enzyme 5-alpha-reductase converts testosterone into potent androgen DHT

    Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) synthesis is the process by which the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase converts testosterone into DHT, a more potent androgen hormone. DHT plays a crucial role in the development of male characteristics and is also implicated in conditions like male pattern baldness and prostate enlargement.
