A byproduct of the hormone testosterone, DHT is responsible for the formation of male primary sex characteristics during the embryonic stage as well as most secondary sex characteristics in males at puberty and continues to be important to male sexual function throughout adult life.
Testosterone, a male hormone, is converted into DHT or Dihydrotestosterone in various tissues of the body and the skin. The enzyme 5 alpha reductase converts testosterone into its more potent form DHT. DHT is responsible for causing hair loss known as Androgenetic Alopecia and for stimulating the growth of body hair.
a natural compound deriving from Testosterone that is ultimately responsible for male pattern hair loss or common baldness.
It is a male hormone that is suggested to be the main cause for hair loss. DHT is formed when the male hormone testosterone interacts with the enzyme 5-alpha reductase. DHT is probably many times more potent that testosterone.
Dihydrotestosterone. When testosterone is exposed to the 5-alpha reductase enzyme, it is converted to DHT in the prostate. There are drugs such as Proscar that can inhibit 5-alpha reductase so that testosterone is not utilized.
Dihydrotestosterone. An androgen derived from testosterone and having tumor-suppressing capabilities useful in the treatment of certain breast cancers.
DHT is a male hormone that is suggested to be the main cause for the miniaturisation of the hair follicle and for hair loss. DHT is formed when the male hormone testosterone interacts with the enzyme 5-alpha reductase.
The active form of the male hormone, testosterone, produced after testosterone is transformed by an enzyme known as 5-alpha reductase.
a conversion of testosterone that is considered to be an aging-bio-marker. Among its affects are the appearance of body-hair, the loss of scalp hair and the onset of prostate gland problems.
acronym for dihydrotestosterone. Classified as a 'sex hormone', there is no well delineated relationship to the levels of DHT and libido or sexual activity. Other than promoting hair growth on the face and upper pubis (but having just the opposite effect on the scalp), the role of DHT in the adult human male is a mystery.
dihydrotestosterone epsilon
Dihydrotestosterone; a product of testosterone that causes pattern baldness.
Dihydrotestosterone - a highly active form of testosterone, which influences many aspects of manly behavior, from sex drive to aggression. The conversion from testosterone to DHT is driven by an enzyme called 5-alpha reductase, which is produced in the prostate, various adrenal glands, and the scalp.
(dihydrotestosterone) : powerful form of the male hormone produced by the action of a prostate enzyme on testosterone.
