Labelled anabolic steroid. Controlled substance.

5α-dihydrotestosterone-d3 (16,16,17-d3) contains a stable deuterium label and is suitable for use as an internal standard for determining the concentration of this hormone in biological samples by chromatographic methods with tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS).

In the body, 5α-dihydrotestosterone (DHT) has pronounced androgenic activity; its affinity for androgen receptors is higher than that of testosterone. The conversion of testosterone to 5α-DHT is catalyzed by 5α-reductase (5AR). 5α-DHT is an important biological marker in the detection of many diseases.

A stable-labeled internal standard of 5α-Dihydrotestosterone or DHT. DHT is an androgen or male sex hormone that has been implicated in a broad range of disease from male pattern baldness to benign prostatic hyperplasia and prostate cancer. As an anabolic steroid, DHT has also been used as a performance-enhancing drug to promote muscle growth.
