Abstract :

Androgensarehormone that plays an importan role in male reproductivesystem and produced significantly in form of testosterone by Leydig cells in testesand found in circulating throughout the body. The formation of androgens is esensialin a number of androgen action and have specific role for male sexual differentiationand support spermatogenesis in adult rat. Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is a more potentandrogen and the active ligand in a number of androgen target tissues and required formale reproductivetract development. DHT is metabolized significantly by reduction3α-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase in liver or androgen target tissues and excreted in urin.
