    Glossary 5α-reductase enzyme

    converts testosterone into the more potent dihydrotestosterone (DHT)

    The 5α-reductase enzyme is responsible for converting testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a more potent androgen hormone. This enzyme plays a significant role in the development of male characteristics and is also implicated in conditions like androgenic alopecia (male pattern baldness) and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
