FAQ-What's DHT-Dihydrotestosterone? - Lotus - 15-02-2014

DHT- Dihydrotestosterone-Dht is a male sex hormone, an androgen. 5α-reductase, an enzyme, synthesizes DHT in the adrenal glands, hair follicles, testes and prostate. Male and female adults can lose hair as a consequence of changes in the metabolism of androgen in the body - men more commonly than women. DHT plays a major role in hair loss.

Dht is the most potent androgen, destroys fat, and masculinizes. Dihydrotestosterone is often used in research settings when studying androgenic hormones because it’s a potent, non-aromatizable androgen receptor agonist. Meaning, not only is DHT strong, it also doesn’t convert to estriadol and it binds to androgen receptors.



DHT and NBE
A decrease in the THT ratio might favor the estrogen action for breast enlargement (aromatization of T to estriadol.)
