Key Event Description
Reduction in DHT synthesis leads to a reduction in DHT circulating levels. 12
How It Is Measured or Detected
DHT levels in a sample can be measured by (High Performance) Liquid Chromatography. After sample fractionation, DHT can be identify by comparison with internal standards spectrum. Quantification of DHT levels can be performed using hormones measurements kits (ELISA), instrumental techniques (LC-MS) or liquid scintillation spectrometry (after radiolabeling).3
