    Glossary5α-reductase activity

    enzyme converts testosterone into potent androgen dihydrotestosterone (DHT)

    5α-reductase activity refers to the function of the enzyme 5α-reductase, which converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a more potent androgen. This process is significant in various biological functions, including the development of male characteristics and the regulation of hair growth. Elevated 5α-reductase activity is often associated with conditions like androgenetic alopecia (male pattern baldness) and benign prostatic hyperplasia.
