DHT Inhibitors and Impact on Organs

[Balding Blog]

how does DHT inhibiters impact other organ function?</p>I found an interesting article that discusses that very question in the Journal of Urology, published in June 2008. Rather than re-write an answer that has already been given, I’ll just post part of the abstract from the article (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18423697) –

“Profound suppression of circulating serum dihydrotestosterone induced by 5alpha-reductase inhibitors during 1 year does not adversely impact bone, serum lipoproteins or hemoglobin, and has a minimal, reversible effect on serum prostate specific antigen and sexual function in normal men. Circulating dihydrotestosterone does not appear to have a clinically significant role in modulating bone mass, hematopoiesis or lipid metabolism in normal men.”
