With immunoassay-based techniques, testosterone levels in premenopausal women have been found to be about 40 ng/dL (1.4 nmol/L) and DHT levels about 10 ng/dL (0.34 nmol/L). [5] [74] With radioimmunoassays, the ranges for testosterone and DHT levels in women have been found to be 20 to 70 ng/dL and 5 to 30 ng/dL, respectively. [74]
Dutasteride (brand name Avodart) inhibits all three 5α-reductase isoenzymes and can decrease DHT levels by 95%. [9] [10] It can also reduce DHT levels in the prostate by 97 to 99% in men with prostate cancer. [11] [12] Epristeride (brand names Aipuliete, Chuanliu) is marketed in China for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia.
DHT is between 2.5- and 10-fold more potent than testosterone as an androgen [155] and is produced in a tissue-selective manner based on expression of 5α-reductase. [156] Tissues in which DHT forms at a high rate include the prostate gland, skin, and hair follicles.

5αR2 is expressed in specific tissues and catalyzes the transformation of testosterone (T) to 5α-dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT plays a key role in the process of sexual differentiation in the external genitalia and prostate during the development of the male fetus. 5αR2D is a result of impaired 5αR2 activity resulting in decreased DHT levels.
[27] [116] [117] It may be that 11-ketotestosterone is the main androgen in women since it circulates at a similar level to testosterone and may [118] or may not [119] [120] decline with age as testosterone does. While 11-ketodihydrotestosterone (11KDHT) is equipotent to DHT, circulating levels of 11KDHT are lower than DHT. [27]
What’s more, men with low levels of testosterone at baseline saw an increase in testosterone when taking 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors, but men with high levels of testosterone at baseline didn ...
Androstanolone, or stanolone, also known as dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and sold under the brand name Andractim among others, is an androgen and anabolic steroid (AAS) medication and hormone which is used mainly in the treatment of low testosterone levels in men. [2] It is also used to treat breast development and small penis in males. [2]
