Yes, testosterone is converted into dihydrotestosterone (DHT) which causes the male-pattern balding by binding to receptors on hair follicles in the scalp, which initiates “miniaturization” and the shrinking of those follicles, leading eventually to the loss of hair.
Isn’t it also why male pattern balding exists? I didn’t know that about cholesterol though. I have high levels of both dammit.
