    process of breaking down and converting testosterone in the body

    Testosterone metabolism refers to the process by which the body breaks down and converts testosterone, a key male sex hormone, into other substances. This involves enzymes that transform testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and estradiol, which play crucial roles in various bodily functions, including hair growth and sexual development. Understanding this process is important for addressing conditions like alopecia, where DHT can contribute to hair loss.
