Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is a biologically active metabolite of testosterone, formed primarily in the prostate gland, hair follicles, adrenal glands and testes by the enzyme 5α-Reductase by means of reducing the 4,5 double-bond. It belongs to the class of compounds called androgens, commonly called androgenic hormones or testoids. Androgens are part of the biology of gender by stimulating and controlling the development and maintenance of masculine characteristics. DHT is three times more potent than testosterone; testosterone is five-ten times more potent than adrenal androgens. DHT is best known for its roles in causing male pattern hair loss and prostate problems, but it is also crucial to virilization and is necessary to mitigate estrogen's effects in men.
