In a number of target tissues, testosterone can be converted to dihydrotestosterone. |
|
These receptors attract the male hormone, dihydrotestosterone, which flows in the blood stream and as a result starts the hair-loss process. |
|
Another drug, finasteride, interferes with the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone, a hormone that stimulates the prostate to grow. |
|
A more potent variant of testosterone, dihydrotestosterone, exerted an even stronger influence on behaviour, the study found. |
|
The nonscrotal patches produce normal levels of dihydrotestosterone and estradiol. |
|
This type of baldness, which can also affect some women after the menopause, is caused by oversensitivity to dihydrotestosterone, made from male hormone testosterone. |
|
While this might be effective for muscle building, the side effect is hair loss due to the conversion of the spike in testosterone to dihydrotestosterone. |
|
The classic AAS is testosterone, which is metabolized into the active metabolites of dihydrotestosterone, androstanolone, estradiol, androsterone, and androstenedione. |
