The 16 pages that link to Dihydrotestosterone, each with the reason it gives.

• TestosteroneRelated: Conversion to this androgen strengthens signaling in tissues such as the prostate and skin.

• AndrogenBroader topic: This locally produced androgen strongly activates androgen receptors in several tissues.

• Benign prostatic hyperplasiaBroader topic: It stimulates prostate-cell growth and is targeted by 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors.

• Androgenetic alopeciaRelated: It binds androgen receptors in susceptible scalp follicles and promotes miniaturization.

• Androgen receptorRelated: It binds the receptor with high affinity and drives strong responses in tissues such as prostate and skin.

• Androgen insensitivity syndromeRelated: Its signaling helps explain why external genital development varies with receptor function.

• Sexual differentiationRelated: It drives development of the prostate and many external genital features.

• HirsutismRelated: Its action in susceptible follicles promotes terminalization of hair.

• FinasterideRelated: Its reduced concentration mediates finasteride’s effects on prostate tissue and scalp hair.

• Sex hormone-binding globulinRelated: SHBG binds dihydrotestosterone more strongly than testosterone.

• 5α-reductaseBroader topic: It is the direct product of the reaction catalyzed by 5α-reductase.

• Facial hairBroader topic: This hormone contributes to terminal-hair growth in androgen-sensitive facial areas.

• BeardBroader topic: Local conversion to this hormone helps explain why beard follicles respond differently from scalp follicles.

• TrichologyRelated: In susceptible scalp follicles, it drives progressive miniaturization in patterned hair loss.

• Pattern hair lossRelated: In genetically susceptible follicles, it contributes to progressive miniaturization.

• StanozololNarrower topic: Stanozolol’s chemical structure is derived from this hormone.
