- In the male some tissues are responsive to dihydrotestosterone rather than testosterone itself, and so a deficiency of the enzyme catalyzing this conversion produces the appearance of testosterone deficiency.
- These receptors attract the male hormone, dihydrotestosterone, which flows in the blood stream and as a result starts the hair-loss process.
- Another drug, finasteride, interferes with the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone, a hormone that stimulates the prostate to grow.
