Nog iets belangrijk om te weten is dat DHT een zeer belangrijk hormoon is en niet alleen een rol speelt bij de ontwikkeling tijdens de puberteit maar ook daarna.
DHT is biologically important for sexual differentiation of the male genitalia during embryogenesis, maturation of the penis and scrotum at puberty, growth of facial, body, and pubic hair, and development and maintenance of the prostate gland and seminal vesicles. It is produced from the less potent testosterone by the enzyme 5?-reductase in select tissues, and is the primary androgen in the genitals, prostate gland, seminal vesicles, skin, and hair follicles.[2]
