Dehydrotestosterone- Man's Enemy or Friend ? DHT – FRIEND OR ENEMY? With the exception of estradiol, no hormone is more misunderstood than dihydrotestosterone, DHT. In fact, many men actually fear DHT, going out of their way to lower it and frustrate its biological activity. However, DHT is...

I have been on TRT for over 4 years with generally good results. It does seem that I have to keep tweaking my protocol to maintain good levels of hormones and feel good. It also seems that I feel best in the first weeks that I am adapting to a change in protocol. All the following tests were...

High levels of dihydrotestosterone may reduce diabetes risk Joyce KE, et al. J Clin Endocrinol Metab. 2016;doi:10.1210/jc.2016-2623. Mukamal and colleagues evaluated data from the Cardiovascular Health Study on 852 men free of diabetes and cardiovascular disease in 1994 to determine the...

I have used the search function but haven't been able to find the answer Does anyone have lab evidence of a raise in DHT that's disproportionately greater than the related increase in T. Or do you know of any reason why this could happen? i realize that DHT is not evil, and that elevated DHT...

The Effects of Injected Testosterone Dose and Age on the Conversion of Testosterone to Estradiol and Dihydrotestosterone in Young and Older Men Background: During testosterone (T) therapy, T is partly converted to 17 beta-estradiol (E2) and dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Effects of age...

For those of you who switched to sub q, what has been the impact to your Total T, Free T, Estradiol and DHT ? Thanks !!!

How DHT Works in the Body Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is a sex hormone created from testosterone in the body. It plays a major role in the development of characteristics that are typically associated with men (body hair, muscle growth, and a deep voice). DHT is critical to the development of...

Endocrine Society's 98th Annual Meeting and Expo, April 1–4, 2016 - Boston SAT-152: Sex Hormones and Biological Ageing: Results of Epidemiological and Mendelian Randomisation Studies of the Bioactive Metabolites of Testosterone, Dihydrotestosterone and Estradiol, and Leucocyte Telomere Length...

Any truth to the rumour that creatine increases DHT? My son wants to take creatine but his hair has started to thin and recede? He is in his early 20's. Not sure what to tell him.

Yeap BB, Alfonso H, Paul Chubb SA, et al. In older men, higher plasma testosterone or dihydrotestosterone are independent predictors for reduced incidence of stroke but not myocardial infarction. The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism. Context: Older men have lower testosterone...

This super elegantly done study looked at the effect of testosterone and DHT on body fat and insulin sensitivity. The researchers previously did a similar study that determined that low estradiol was linked to increased fat mass. By blocking testosterone, DHT and estradiol in different arms...

Abstract Context: Testosterone (T) levels decline with age and lower T has been associated with increased mortality in aging men. However, the associations of its metabolites, dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and estradiol (E2), with mortality are poorly defined. Objective: We assessed associations...
