Comparison between DHT and Testosterone
Testosterone is the most abundant and potent androgen in the male body. It is responsible for numerous sexual and physiological activities such as:
- Controlling androgen hormone levels throughout the body.
- Controlling sperm production. [4]
- Preserving bone density and muscle mass.
- Helping spread fat throughout the body.
- Regulating your mood and emotions.
DHT is referred to as spinoff of testosterone. DHT is also important in enhancing some sexual functions and physiological activities like testosterone, but it is more potent. DHT has the tendency to bind to an androgen receptor longer and as a result increasing its effects on production of testosterone throughout the body. [5]
