Dehydrotestosterone (DHT) is a potent androgen hormone derived from testosterone, primarily produced in the prostate, testes, and adrenal glands. It plays a crucial role in the development of male characteristics during puberty, such as facial hair and a deeper voice. Elevated levels of DHT are associated with conditions like androgenetic alopecia (male pattern baldness) and benign prostatic hyperplasia. DHT's strong affinity for androgen receptors makes it a significant factor in various biological processes related to male health.
