    Glossary Serum DHT

    Serum DHT (dihydrotestosterone) is a potent androgen hormone derived from testosterone, playing a crucial role in hair biology and hair loss. Elevated levels of DHT are often linked to androgenetic alopecia, commonly known as male or female pattern baldness, as it can bind to androgen receptors in hair follicles, leading to miniaturization and eventual hair loss. Key distinguishing characteristics of serum DHT include its ability to influence hair follicle sensitivity and its role in the regulation of hair growth cycles, making it a significant target for hair loss treatments.
