research Is the metabolism of testosterone to 5α-dihydrotestosterone required for androgen action in the skin?
Testosterone conversion to 5α-DHT may not be essential for its effects on the skin.
research Testosterone and dihydrotestosterone production in genetically furless and furred male rabbits and effects on growth.
Furless male rabbits grew slightly faster and heavier than furred ones, but testosterone levels were not the cause.
research Longitudinal clinical course in patients with 5α-reductase type 2 deficiency treated with testosterone and dihydrotestosterone during infancy and puberty
