DHT hormone. Molecular model of the structure of the male sex hormone DHT (dihydrotestosterone,or 5-alpha-dihydrotestosterone). Atoms are colour-coded spheres (carbon: dark grey,hydrogen: light grey,and oxygen: red). DHT is the most potent of the naturally-occurring androgens,the class of hormones associated with the development of male reproductive organs and secondary sex characteristics. It is secreted in the testes,prostate gland,hair follicles and adrenal glands. A DHT deficiency may lead to a variety of syndromes including hermaphroditism. These may be reduced by hormone replacement therapy | |
