DHT
Baldness-linked hormone
DHT stands for dihydrotestosterone, a potent androgen hormone converted from testosterone in the body.
DHT plays a key role in male sexual development and is responsible for male-pattern baldness—hair follicles sensitive to DHT gradually miniaturize and stop producing visible hair.
Drugs like finasteride work by blocking DHT production.
In peer-to-peer computing, DHT refers to a distributed hash table, a decentralized system for locating data across a network.
